KEAAU – Waiakea had a better 1-2 scoring punch, though that comes with an asterisk, but Kamehameha featured better offensive depth, ball control, and defense — usually a recipe that leads to championships.
Kamehameha followed a familiar pattern and defeated Waiakea 25-22, 25-14, 27-29, 25-17 in a BIIF Division I volleyball match Monday night at Koai’a Gym.
Avery Enriques pounded 22 kills, Addison Enriques 16 while Makana Manoa and Nalu Kahapea had six each for Kamehameha (2-0), the three-time defending BIIF champion, which attacked from the left and right pins and middle.
Kolby Aiona soared for 28 kills, Santana Madrid added 12 kills while Damien Merseburgh had two kills for Waiakea (2-1), last year’s BIIF runner-up, which largely depended on the outside hitting production of its tag-team A&S slammers.
