Kohala senior CJ Carvalho kept serving aces on the volleyball court, and teammate Kiana Kauka was following suit against St. Joseph, which meant two things: easy points and fewer opportunities to take swings.
The Cowgirls could use all the reps they can handle because their school gym was shut down last season because of safety concerns. An assessment is scheduled for February. The team practices at the Hisaoka county gym.
The veteran Cowgirls relied on tough serves and just enough power hitting to defeat the inexperienced Cardinals 25-7, 25-9, 25-22 in a BIIF Division II match Saturday at Walter Victor Gym, where the drive to Hilo (1 hour, 50 minutes) took nearly twice as long as the sweep (59 minutes).
