’Riders storm back, top Keaau

Kealakehe won its first BIIF volleyball match in exciting fashion Tuesday, coming back to beat Keaau 25-23, 23-25, 25-21 in Kailua-Kona.

“We talk about focus and making plays, but we are a young team and sometimes get distracted,” Waveriders coach Duke Hartfield told West Hawaii Today. “Keaau played us pretty consistently.”

Down by nine points in the final set, Kealakehe (1-1) rallies against Keaau (1-1) lead with their service game, led by senior Nika Paogofie-Buyten.
