Konawaena’s shot to make BIIF history in girls volleyball will be made a little easier, when the season starts on Aug. 18.
The Wildcats will be shooting for an unprecedented HHSAA state championship three-peat, which would set them apart from Hilo. The Vikings, under Luella Aina, won titles in 1972 and ’74, long before statewide classification.
Under coach Ainsley Keawekane, Kona could also join Hawaii Baptist Academy, which won state titles in 2007, ’08 and ’09, as the only Division II three-time champion.
The BIIF is providing a helping hand, bringing back the talent-stacked division and putting 16 games on the schedule with two rounds of play.
