BULLS DOWN LIONS
Following three competitive sets full of long rallies and a multitude of backcourt digs, Parker girls volleyball beat Makua Lani 3-0 in a road win Tuesday night at Old Airport — 25-8, 25-20 and 25-11.
The Lions were relentless on both ends of the court and were a tough out for the Bulls, especially in the second frame, where they held a lead for the majority of the game.
However, Parker’s team chemistry down the stretch proved to be a main deciding factor.
Parker moved to 4-2 overall on the season and remains tied with Kohala for fifth in the BIIF DII standings (as of the afternoon of Sept. 20).
Makua Lani (0-5) is still in search of its first victory of the early season, sitting at 11th in the rankings.
The Bulls will next head south to play Laupahoehoe at 5 p.m. Friday in Waimea Park. The Lions will also embark to the countryside to play Hawaii Prep at 5 p.m. Friday at Castle Gym.
