Despite its usual roster of inexperienced players, Hawaii Prep found a groove at the right time, and played really clean and efficient volleyball to knock out Kohala, the hottest Division II team.

The annually greenhorn Ka Makani beat the athletic Cowboys 25-16, 19-25, 25-23, 25-19 in the BIIF semifinals on Friday at Hilo Civic, claiming a HHSAA Division II state berth.

In the other semifinal, Ka’u defeated Konawaena 25-21, 25-21, 25-16.
