Jordyn Tagalicod and Shyla Kutzen-Ribordy are proud lifetime Pahoa Daggers and undersized volleyball players and symbolize the defining characteristic of the school as well as the team.
No matter the scenario, if it’s a lava flow threat, like the one in 2014, or a much taller BIIF opponent, the Daggers — all of them — can always count on one thing: their perseverance.
“When teams played against us, they know Pahoa is scrappy, and we won’t give up,” said Tagalicod, who’s also the school class president.
For the third consecutive year, Pahoa’s volleyball program shined a positive, inspirational light on the school.
