Kamehameha Schools-Hawai‘i girls volleyball traveled north to Hilo High to conclude its undefeated regular-season slate against the Vikings on Thursday night. KSH won in consecutive sets for the 15th occasion in 2024 — 25-16, 25-18 and 25-17.
Warriors setter Maile Kuamo‘o led the team’s play-making department with 17 assists. Her teammate, Shay Beals, posted 13 digs and 10 kills, while Camryn Grace tallied 11 digs and six kills. Kealohi Dudoit also notched 12 digs. In the service department, KSH’s Ziona Launiu collected four aces.
With the win, the Warriors finished the Big Island Interscholastic Federation (BIIF) regular season unbeaten for the sixth straight season. The last time KSH lost regular-season competition was in Oct. 2017 against Waiakea.
The Warriors will have a first-round bye in the BIIF DI playoffs, automatically qualifying for the semifinals round. They will play the winner of today’s Kealakehe vs. Hilo at 6 p.m. Monday at KS-Hawai‘i.
BIIF DI first round pushed to today
Originally slated to kick off Friday night, the BIIF decided to push DI’s first-round playoff matches to today. Hilo will travel across island to Kailua-Kona to play Kealakehe at 10 a.m. inside the Waveriders’ gymnasium, while Waiakea will host Kea‘au at 6 p.m. in Hilo.
See Monday’s paper to read the results. See today’s BIIF schedule for all of the official matchups and start times.
Corrections
West Hawaii Today and Hawaii Tribune-Herald incorrectly reported KSH’s final match of the season in Friday’s volleyball headline. The Warriors ended their season Thursday, not Wednesday.
The papers also incorrectly reported Ka Umeke’s season ending earlier this week. Ka Umeke will play Parker in the first round of the BIIF DII playoffs at 6 p.m. tonight in Waimea.
Both papers regret the errors.
