Advertiser Staff
With front-row players like 6-foot-6 middle blocker Tyler Caswell, 6-4 opposite Cliffton Pires, 6-3 outside hitter/middle blocker Chase Moses and 6-2 outside hitter Timothy Moyer, Kalaheo High School's boys volleyball team has more than enough height to cause big problems for opponents at the net.But the Mustangs proved Wednesday they can deliver from behind the end lines as well, serving up eight aces in a 25-11, 25-19 sweep of Leilehua in the O'ahu Interscholastic Association semifinals. Kalaheo (13-1) will face OIA Eastern Division rival Roosevelt (13-1) for the championship at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 2 at McKinley's Student Council Gym.
Roosevelt swept host McKinley 25-22, 25-19 in last night's opener of the semifinal doubleheader.
Kalaheo and Roosevelt split their two regular-season matches, with the Mustangs winning the Sept. 5 meeting 20-25, 25-18, 25-21 and the Rough Riders sweeping the Sept. 28 rematch 25-23, 25-21.
In the OIA Division II semifinals, 'Aiea defeated Kalani, 21-25, 25-19, 25-22, and Wai'anae swept Farrington, 25-17, 25-21. 'Aiea (8-4) will face Wai'anae (12-0) for the championship at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Farrington.
