MIL JV GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: LAHAINALUNA V. KSM L0-3 - OCTOBER 11, 2014


The atmosphere at Lahainaluna’s gym was not the same with the game being held on a Saturday, Boarders not on campus due to spring break and the crazy girls basketball team members not stopping by after practice to support the team.

 
 
 
 
 
 


Nevertheless, the girls played competitively, though inconsistently. They got off to strong starts in each of the three sets, only to allow Kamehameha back early and not bounce back. In the third set, Lunas were actually up 20-9 then Kamehameha battled back. Lunas were up 24-20 but could not even get a side out as the Warriors played error-free ball and  took the third set and the match: 20-25, 18-25, 24-26.

Drove out to Lahaina to shoot some girls soccer (U14) then off to Lahainaluna to shoot JV girls volleyball. Because it was Fall Break, several of the JV girls were not available. Perhaps because of Fall Break, the girls weren’t quite as focused out on the court. The result was an 0-3 loss to the Warriors. The Warriors took 2 of 3 matches from Lahainaluna during the season.

MIL CROSS-COUNTRY JV CHAMPIONSHIPS - Keopuolani Park - October 11, 2014


It’s been a while since I last shot Cross-Country back on September 20th in Kapalua. Cancellation in Hana (I wasn’t planning to go anyway).  I skipped the one at Seabury Hall even though that venue allows for great pictures, because of their mid-afternoon start and my desire to stay home in the AC rather than get cooked out in the sun for 1 ½ hours. So with this meet at nearby Keopuolani Park at 8am, I felt it was a great opportunity to go back out there and shoot some cross-country.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


It was the JV Championship so only JV runners were participating. Great job to all who competed.

MIL GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: LAHAINALUNA V. KING KEKAULIKE L0-3 - OCTOBER 9, 2014


I got to the game late after deciding to stop by War Memorial to shoot the Lanai-St. Anthony 8-Man football game at War  Memorial Stadium. By the time I got up to King Kekaulike, the Lunas had already lost Set 1 and were trailing in set 2. Na Alii was on fire. Their setter does an outstanding job of finding mismatches and  getting the sets to any of the 3 spots on the front line. Our block was consistently late getting to the point of attach which led to easy kills for Na Ali’i. Lunas lose: 20-25, 14-25, 13-25.

 
 
 
 
 


This was the last road game for the Lunas. Three more at home then time for tournament.
