The girls volleyball team put on an amazing show during senior night, beating Lanakila Baptist with ease in two sets. Lanakila Baptist arrived with a big line up, yet the bulldogs weren’t intimidated, and came out swinging.
The bulldogs retained their lead from the beginning taking the first set 25-14. The second set came out like the first and the lady bulldogs coasted in for the win taking the second set 25-12
“I was proud of our team,” Coach Jason Popejoy said, “they came out hungry for a win, and I am especially proud of the seniors.”
The game was not only dedicated to the seniors, but for the parents as well who received leis from the players.
“I was really proud winning our game on senior night,” said Larissa Ing, one of the senior volleyball players being commemorated on senior night. Joining her were other seniors Sarah Recktenwald, Brittany Daniels, Kelly Connors, and Jessie Steiner.
The Girl’s Volleyball record is 4-12, but this record doesn’t reflect their effort and game performance. The Girl’s Varsity lost games by very narrow margins and have played in an extremely hard conference which includes Punahou, Iolani, Kamehameha, and Mid Pacific Institute. So far this season, the bulldogs have beaten Christian Academy, Hawaii Mission Academy, Island Pacific Academy and Lanakila Baptist.
