Kaiser goes long for OIA White title

Honolulu Star Bulletin
Madison Pedone and Nikki Taylor combined for 37 kills as Kaiser outlasted Castle 25-12, 25-17, 23-25, 19-25, 15-12 to capture the Oahu Interscholastic Association White Conference title last night at McKinley Student Council Gym.
Kaiser (13-3) finished third in the White East during the regular season, but continued to improve and went through the postseason tourney unbeaten.
Castle (12-5) swept both regular-season meetings with Kaiser, but the Cougars won a tourney game on Tuesday in five sets.
Castle, the White East second-place team, would have forced a winner-take-all match tomorrow with a win yesterday. The Knights almost did it with a hearty rally, but tired in the fifth set.
“They played a tough match last night,” Kaiser coach Ernest Noborikawa said. The Knights beat Kailua on Wednesday to advance to last night’s championship.
Pedone, a 5-foot-9 sophomore, led the Cougars with 19 kills and added two aces. Taylor, a 6-2 freshman, had 18 kills, including four in the final set.
“We pulled together even though everybody got tired,” Taylor said.
A boisterous crowd of about 1,000 watched in sultry conditions. Kaiser needed balance to counter the great defensive play of the smaller Knights.

Kaiser topples Castle in 5 for White crown

The Kaiser girls volleyball team was burning rubber at the start, got stuck in neutral, then found a way to get it back in gear and edge Castle.
It sure made for an exciting match.
Nikki Taylor had 21 kills and Madison Perdone added 19 as Kaiser beat Castle, 25-12, 25-17, 23-25, 19-25, 15-12, in the O’ahu Interscholastic Association White Conference tournament final yesterday at McKinley.
“After the first two sets, they kind of took things easy, they took things for granted. Did it the hard way,” said Kaiser coach Ernest Noborikawa.
It was the Cougars’ first OIA girls volleyball crown. The inaugural league champion was crowned in 1971.
