Tavana earns all-america honors
Kaua‘i High School’s Futi Tavana garnered all-america honors at the 2004 U.S.A. Junior Olympics boys volleyball championships in Austin, Texas.
In the meantime, the Asics Rainbow Volleyball Club, the team Tavana plays for, along with fellow Kaua‘i boys, Kevin Downing and Justin McSheehy finished in fifth-place out of 30 teams. In the final round, the Asics squad beat Yorktown of Windsor, Pennsylvania (22-25, 25-19, 15-10), but fell in their last two games, against Sacramento Volleyball Club (25-19, 22-25, 13-15) and Pili Pa‘a from the Big Island (23-25, 21-25). Pili Pa‘a took home the boys 17-and-under championship.
