HIGH SCHOOL

• Services for Kang: Memorial services for longtime Iolani School teacher and girls volleyball coach Ann Kang have been set for July 12 at the school's St. Alban's Chapel.

Visitation will start at 1 p.m., with services starting at 2 p.m. Diamond Head Mortuary is handling the arrangements.

Kang died Tuesday night at Straub Hospital after a 19-month fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. She was 47.

Among her survivors is a brother, Grant Goldenson, whose name was omitted from a story in yesterday's Advertiser.

Also, the school has announced that the Iolani Invitational preseason volleyball tournament, which for the past 20 years has featured top teams from Hawai'i and the Mainland every August, will be called the Ann Kang Invitational.

This year's Invitational is set for Aug. 13-16.

Iolani also announced that Rona Kekauoha and Rena Winchester have been named co-coaches for the girls volleyball team.

Kekauoha, a 1986 graduate of Iolani, was the Raiders' JV coach from 1993-98. She also served as one of Kang's varsity assistants the past two years.

Winchester, a 1989 Iolani graduate, was the Interscholastic League of Honolulu Player of the Year and a Reebok All-American after the 1988 season. She went on to play at the University of Hawai'i-Hilo.
