KAPAA — Kapaa High School girls volleyball won in straight sets, and Waimea High School battled to a 3-2 edge over Kauai High School on Tuesday when the Kauai Interscholastic Federation played matches.
Over at the Clem Gomes Gym in Waimea, the host Menehune split their series with the Red Raiders, the Junior Varsity Kauai team taking the first two sets, 25-21, 25-21, and dropping the final set, 14-16 in extended play.
During varsity play, the Menehune showed strong in the first two sets, 25-14, and 25-16, but could not sustain the momentum, dropping to the Raiders, 23-25 and 21-25 in the third and fourth sets, respectively.The Menehune regained strength and took the final set, 15-8.
Kapaa, the defending KIF champions, played well-rounded volleyball at the Bernice Hundley Gym in Kapaa. Working behind the defense that forced Voyager miscues, the Lady Warriors capitalized on Island School mistakes to take the evening in straight sets, 25-13, 25-13 and 25-11.
With Warrior senior Khloe Grove in the middle, the Kapaa defense never allowed the Voyagers to take the lead during the night, and Carlyn Kamoku , another senior, sparked the Warrior offense.
During the JV contest played earlier in the afternoon, Island School took all three sets, 25-18, 25-22 and 17-15.
The next KIF volleyball games will play today and Friday due to an earlier scheduled event at Island School. Today, the Waimea Menehune will visit the Wilcox Gymnasium to take on the Voyagers. The JV games serve up from 5 p.m., and the varsity contest starts 25 minutes following the JV match.
On Friday, Kauai High School travels to the Bernice Hundley Gym to take on Kapaa with the JV games serving up from 5 p.m. and the varsity game starting 25 minutes after the JV match ends.
On Saturday, the KIF football plays its first games of the season when Kauai High School travels to Hanapepe Stadium to take on Waimea High School because Vidinha Stadium is not available to be used as Kauai’s home field. The JV game kicks off from 4 p.m. followed by the varsity game.
