Na Menehune Volleyball Girls Tame the McKinley Tigers

Tonight's game at the McKinley High School Gym was a test of strength and agility between the McKinley Tigers and the Moanalua Na Menehune girls volleyball team.  The game started out with the "blue team" who went two sets, 25-10 and 25-21 in favor of Moanalua.

Then came the JV girls who fought it out in three sets.  This was a battle of stamina and hard hitting smashes between both teams.  The Tigers took the first set 25-20.  Into the JV second set, Na Menehune girls took the lead 7-4 and the Tigers tied it at 12-12.  As they continued back and forth, and getting down to the wire in the second set, the Na Menehune girls pulled ahead 24-21 and finally ended the set at 25-22.  Wow, that was only the beginning.  Don't anyone stand up to get a spam rice bowl.

In the JV third set, the yelling in the gym was so loud I had to put on my ear plugs.  This set was the main attraction for the night.  The Na Menehune again took the lead 4-1, then 10-7, and then 12-10.  Just when you think the Tigers were clawing themselves back, the Na Menehune ended the set 15-12.  Now you can get your spam rice bowl.

As for the Varsity girls, it was well balanced game between both teams with hard hitting from the outside.  Na Menehune #5, Silerolia Gaogao was devastating with her kills.  The Na Menehune Varsity girls won the game in two sets, 25-14 and 25-12.  The Moanalua Varsity girls now stand at 7-0 in the OIA East.  More on the scores and stats, "click here."  Candid photos, "click here."
