Kaua‘i is still looking to get its first win of the 2006 season. The two-time defending champions have been in this situation before.

The sharpshooter also needs some help from the younger players on the team if the Red Raiders are to come back in the second round.
Meanwhile, Waimea (1-2) has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the first round, with Moani Durant and Natalie Mata leading the way.
The youthful squad has enough talent to win it all, but youth might also be their Achilles Heel.
Idle Kapa‘a finished up an impressive first round at 4-0 to win the first round title. The Warriors’ balanced attack is paced by Brittney Carvalho, Kennilyn Nakamura, Poe Gantt, and Mailika Napoleon.
