Pahoa’s Nick Fisher moved one victory away from reaching a Hawaii High School Athletic Association championship game for a fourth time.
Fisher posted 18 kills, three bocks and four aces as the Daggers swept Campbell 27-25, 25-20, 25-16 at Farrington High on Oahu in a state Division II first-round volleyball match.
Caleb Woo O’Brien added six kills and three blocks, Jarrett Kamaka posted five kills and four blocks and Isaac Ekau added four kills and three blocks for the Big Island Interscholastic Federation champions (12-5). Pahoa will face Seabury Hall at 5 p.m. today at Moanalua High in the semifinals.
With a win against the Maui Interscholastic League champion, Pahoa would advance to the state title game for the first time since 2010, when the Daggers took runner-up during Fisher’s freshman year. Now a senior, Fisher has also been to a pair of state finals in basketball.
Adam Amosa and Jacob Kaawa each led Campbell (8-8) with eight kills.
Hawaii Baptist def. Hawaii Prep 25-18, 25-22, 29-27: Michael Fisher slammed 27 kills with five aces at Moanalua to power the Eagles into the semifinals.
Jevin Ching compiled 20 kills, three aces and three digs for the Ka Makani (11-4), and Noah Schenk and Jovan Crnic each added seven kills. The BIIF’s No. 2 seed plays OIA champ Farrington (9-5) at 5 p.m. at the Governors’ gym in a fifth-place semifinal.
