Ashlyn Van Zandt and Denae Rivera looked like HHSAA softball tournament veterans, while Symphony Kauanoe handled her first assignment with relative ease.
Kohala had busted out at states before, but these Cowgirls – a mix of upperclassmen and underclassmen – made a first impression to remember.
Van Zandt, Rivera and Setsuko Kimura each drove in four runs Tuesday at McKinley High on Oahu, and Kohala routed Kalaheo 18-2 to reach the Division II quarterfinals.
