When Kayla Kahauolopua wasn’t pounding volleyballs from the left side, her sister Cadelynn was slamming rockets from the opposite wing against Hawaii Prep, which had its block stretched thin against a balanced offense.
Waiakea played smooth ball and overwhelmed the visiting Ka Makani 25-13, 25-11, 25-15 in a BIIF match on Tuesday night at the Warriors Gym, where the crowd saw different versions of league runners-up.
Kayla Kahauolopua knocked down 10 kills and Cadelynn smashed nine to spark the Division I runner-up Warriors (2-0), who passed better, jumped higher, and smoked balls at a higher velocity.
Senior middle blockers Melina Devela and Jazzy Alston added five kills each, Bethany Honma, another opposite, had three kills, and Christine Hanohano also chipped in three kills, exhibiting the team’s lineup of hitting options.
