Waiakea is taking the typical one-game-at-a-time philosophy, but don’t accuse Ashley Hanohano of coach-speak.

The phrase may be cliche, but this season it carries more cache.

The BIIF schedule-makers are cutting right to the chase in Division I girls volleyball. First up for the Warriors on Aug. 19 at home is none other than five-time champion Kamehameha.

“The BIIF wasn’t playing (around),” Hanohano said.

She is quick to point out Kamehameha did not start its run on her watch — as a player.
