KEALAKEKUA – If Pahoa had any hopes of upsetting Konawaena on their home court Wednesday night, the Wildcats quickly put those hopes to rest.

Konawaena won 18 of the final 19 points in the first set against the Daggers, setting the tone early in a quick sweep – 25-4, 25-13, 25-15 – to earn their sixth consecutive BIIF victory.

The Wildcats (7-1) remain atop the BIIF Division II standings heading into Friday’s contest, which may be their toughest test of the season against Division I leader Kamehameha.

The Warriors remained unbeaten in BIIF play, making quick work of the visiting Bulls to earn their 10th BIIF win of the season.

Kamehameha’s Savanna Colliado recorded eight aces in the contest, while Kalea Kuamoo led the team with nine kills.

Friday’s contest of Konawaena at Kamehameha (10-0) is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
