KEAAU – With Game 1 hanging in the balance, Kamalu Makekau-Whittaker gave Kailee Yoshimura a nice, big set with which to work.
Earlier in the season, Yoshimura might have tried to play it safe, but on Tuesday night she swung ferociously and she swung confidently, and that is starting to make all the difference for Kamehameha.
Makekau-Whittaker did a little bit of everything on Senior Night at Koaia Gym, posting 10 kills as the Warriors swept Hilo 25-23, 25-17 in a possible BIIF Division I playoff preview.
“We’re starting to swing to win,” coach Sam Thomas said.
