Taiwan Opponents turn Mentors 8/19/10 - On Tuesday just days after sweeping thru Ann Kang in their first visit to the islands, the Taiwan Chinese team returned to Iolani’s Lower Gym to lead the Varsity squad's regular 4:30 pm practice. The Iolani Coaching Staff stepped aside with notes in hand while Lin Kuang Hung conducted the 2 ½ hour practice. Language didn’t seem to be much of an obstacle, Iolani senior Christina Liu translated Coach Hung’s instructions when necessary. Coach Hung is the two time Taipei National Coach and most recently coached their 2006 National Team to the quarter finals in the FIVB World Championships. The one day combined practice focused on passing and attacking. These elements of Taiwan’s game were so dominant over the weekend it disallowed the Hawaii and California teams to get into a rhythm to score. The selected drills were quick, precise with constant movement. There were very few details that escaped Coach Hung’s eye. Mechanics and footwork were frequent reminders from the Taiwan coach. When asked if the team would return sometime soon he replied possibly in the next couple of years. The team's most memorable moment in Hawaii was "li hing pineapple"! Chung Shan Industrial & Commercial School is a private school with a student body of 10,000 students. |

Hen Hao! (Good Job!) Chung Shan Defeats Mira Costa for AKIVB Championship! 8/14/10 - On the final day of the 2010 Ann Kang Invitational, Granbury defeated Samohi for Copper, Moanalua defeated Maryknoll for Bronze, and Molokai defeated 'Iolani for Silver. This win was the highest finish for Molokai ever in the Ann Kang, and was the highest finish for a Hawaii team this year! (Hana Hou Molokai!) Fans got a chance to see Molokai's explosive Kalei Adolpho, 6'1" MH, who will be playing for UH Wahine next year. Kamehameha Maui beat Kahuku to take 3rd in the all Hawaii Silver bracket. Fans got to see another future Wahine in dynamic 5'10" OH Ginger Long of Kamehameha Maui. In the Gold division Mira Costa defeated Los Al in two to advance. Fans got to see Los Al's exceptional power house, 6'0" OH Jane Croson, who will also be playing for the Wahine next year. In the other half of the bracket Taiwan's Chung Shan got a rematch with Newport Harbor, who defeated them earlier in pool play in a 3-game thriller. This time it went much different as Taiwan methodically swept Newport Harbor. Then came the rematch of Los Al and Newport Harbor in the battle for 3rd. Newport Harbor got the win in a convincing sweep, avenging their 2-game loss a day earlier. In the championship match it looked like Chung Shan was going to walk away with it after a 25-14 pounding in game 1. Mira Costa turned it around in game 2 and almost stretched it to 3, but fell short 25-23. Look out CIF, the Mustangs are still here! (and so is Newport Harbor, and Los Al, ... Cali rocks!) 2010 Ann Kang Invitational ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM Newport Harbor - Senior #17 Madison Brown 6'1" OH Newport Harbor - Junior #18 Cinammon Sary 5'11" S Los Alamitos - Senior #1 Jane Croson 6'0" OH (future UH wahine!!)

10/30/09 - The ILH's top two teams, Punahou and KS-Kapalama, will face off in the 2009 Hawaii State Championship match on Saturday, 10/31/09. In Div II action the ILH's other top two teams, HBA and Word of Life, will face off in the other Championship match. Four ILH teams participated in this year's States, and all four made it to the finals! Way to go ILH!! |
2nd Round ILH Semifinal Match with Kamehameha The Varsity Raiders finish 3rd in the ILH and drop to 8th in the State as the best teams from across the State head into the State Tournament. Iolani did get a chance to play some of these teams already, some more than once. Iolani lost to Punahou in the HVI tournament semi's and then again in Round 1 play, Lost to Kamehameha in both Round 1 and Round 2 play, Beat Kahuku in Ann Kang Tournament 3rd place match, Beat Hawaii Baptist in the Kauai Challenge Tournament, then again in Ann Kang Tournament, then again in Round 1 play, Beat Moanalua in HVI Tournament, Beat Farrington in Ann Kang Tournament twice, and beat Waiakea in the Kauai Challenge. This season ended in a very similar fashion to last year, where the Raiders fell short of winning a State bid. Two years ago Punahou came in third but went to the State Tournament since the ILH had 3 bids that year. That was the year Saint Francis decided to drop down to Division II, and the number of ILH bids dropped from 3 to 2. With only 2 ILH bids, this was a very important match for these two teams. Hats off to Kamehameha for stepping up when it counts!

2010 Senior Night Now the second round starts, and only two ILH teams will be invited to the State Tournament! Punahou will get one bid as the winner of round 1. As the first seed of the ILH championship tournament, Punahou gets a bye and takes on the winner of Maryknoll and Sacred Hearts. As the second seed, Kamehameha gets a bye and takes on the winner of Iolani and Midpac. Next up for the Raiders - Midpac, Tuesday night, 10/13/09, 5:00pm, Iolani lower gym!!! |

Redondo Union wins the 2009 Ann Kang Invitational Tournament! If I had to sum up the tournament in one word it would be "parity" with Punahou and Redondo Union fairing a little better but all the same being pushed to the limit at times. Farrington and Kahuku were the sleeping giants of the weekend, capable of taking any team out when motivated, then playing the Hyde part of Dr. Jekyll and putting up a shadow of resistance in other matches. We were also treated to matches that exhibited defenses beyond anything I can recall with Maryknoll and HBA providing the uuuhhs and aahhhs. Iolani proved that the Kaua’i Challenge finish was no fluke only being bettered by the tourney champs Redondo and the runner up Punahou. Moloka’i, always an athletic bunch, found the new format to their liking and took advantage of playing the entire compliment of matches at full throttle. Edison, Mater Dei and Van Nuys offered up the litmus test for the Hawaii teams as they try to take their skills to new heights. And what a treat to watch Mid Pacific and Kaiser battle it out early on the last day to try and claim the flight championship. The intensity and drama of that contest was to be played out right to the final match that closed Ann Kang. This format more than any other in recent history of the tournament allows for coaches to tweak, adjust, expose and experiment in preparation of their seasons. Most significantly it promoted post season highlights at the 8th annual Ann Kang Tournament. more Congratulations to Farrington - Silver Division Champion, Moanalua - Bronze Division Champion, Mid Pacific Institute - Flight Division Champion The Sched/Results page is a pdf file of the tournament results, complete with roster information. The Final Standings page posts overall results for the current year's tournament, and is also accessible from the Hall of Fame page which has links to results from all tournaments since the very first one in 1989. |

 Varsity loses in five to end 2008 season 2nd round tourney. The scores of the match were 25-18, 25-27, 23-25, 25-19, 11-15. This was a hard fought match and we are very proud of these girls effort, and how they showed everyone that they all will fight and compete to the end as one team. It is unfortunate that this team will not be participating in this years HHSAA Tourney due to the ILH having only two State berths, but this team will not let that indicate the success of this year's team. This year's team finished an ILH season of 14-3, with an overall record of 30-9 also having to compete against a possible National Champion La Costa Canyon (21-25, 23-25) at the 2008 Durango Fall Classic. We want to thank all the parents, family, friends for their contributions and support for the team and the program. Best wishes to our Seniors (Jana Tokuhama, Kelly Pang, Kelli Ching, I'Ishah Keliikoa, and Chelsea Hardin);, and Look forward to 2009 with our underclassmen (Mali'e Yoon, Mahina Haina, Alissa Youart, Georgette Liutolo, Lumi Shimizu, Kelsey Afoa, Noelle Chan, Kamea Chock, Ashlee Asada, and Alyssa Pang). An ending message for this year's team is a quote from a legendary basketball coach Al Wooden. "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best that you are capable of becoming" Go Raiders! Jenic Tumaneng Head Coach |
