KAPA‘A — Two teams as close as two twin brothers arrived at the Bernice Hundley Gynasium last night and mirrored each other’s play to a razor-thin finish, as Kapa‘a eased away with the win in three sets.
The Warriors brought out the big guns in the first set, but not without some opposition from the Menehune. Alika Woodward, Lyndon Pascual, and Kiah Imai sparked the Warrior charge. Chris Ramelb set up the hard-hitting trio, which were able to push past Waimea, 25-23 in the first set. Waimea’s costly errors were the main reason for their first set collapse.
In fact, the deciding point went to Kapa‘a because of a Kyle Pigao miscue.
Bryan Hayashi, Kollin Morikawa, and Josh Cabral paced the Menehune with three kills each.
In the second frame, Waimea pulled ahead early, but Kapa‘a was able to stay with the Menehune all the way until the last point of the set.
Waimea though, eventually took the second stanza, 25-22.
The deciding set was also a heart stopper with both teams trading blows, but Kapa‘a managed to get the win.
Hayashi and Cabral led the Menehune in the kill department. Cabral also had the high total in blocks.
Imai, Woodward, and Winston Ouye topped the Warrior kill total.
Due to an early deadline, the results of the girls varsity match between the Menehune and the Warriors will be published in Friday’s edition of The Garden Island.
