MIL Girls JV Volleyball: LAHAINALUNA 1, KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS MAUI 2 – September 24, 2011

Having a volleyball match scheduled on Saturday finally allowed me to capture the action at a JV girls volleyball game for the first (and probably only) time all season.

My schedule on Saturday was really tight – Cross Country in Wailuku from 9:00am to 10:30am, quick breakfast, then drive up from Wailuku at 11:30am to get to the Kamehameha Schools Maui campus by 12:00pm. This would allow me to get shots of individual players during warm-ups prior to the 12:30pm start. The varsity girls would follow at 2:00pm, but I would only have time to catch the first set, as I wanted to head back down to Wailuku, grab a quick lunch and change of clothes, before heading to the War Memorial Stadium at 3:30pm to catch the JV football boys’ warm-up prior to their 4:30pm game against Kamehameha Schools Maui. Then I’d be there until at least 9:30 -10:00 pm to get the varsity game. A full day indeed! I don’t mind - taking pictures has become a source of stress relief for me from my full-time job as an attorney.

One of the better JV players, Lithe Pokipala-Waiohu, was not present at this match – I assume she was playing softball on Oahu, as I learned that there was a softball tournament going on this weekend. Nevertheless, the girls that were there put up a valiant effort. They came up flat in the first set. After a slow start in the second set, they caught fire and blew them out 21-13. The third and final set was a back and forth affair, but the Lunas seemed to lose momentum during the court change at 8, and they lost the 3rd set 11-15, and the match.
