Dejan was a beast. He, Costas and Tony Ching were fun to watch. Still pissed about the 2002 title being vacated.

Anyone watching the D1 OIA championship match? Kai Rodriguez will be a good one for the Bows! JT Todd a little inconsistent. But I noticed everytime he is on TV that happens. His matches not on TV...that young man can ball! Yewchuk isn't given much sets to really be noticed. But hella tall and can execute with authority with his serve and offense if given the opportunity. Not to diminish anyone, but the setters are not that good. Trap sets, low sets, slow tempo, moon balls... Hard to hit when the sets are for short people. |

Moanalua rolls to OIA D-I volleyball crownBy Paul Honda 4/27/23, Honolulu Star-Advertiser  STEVEN ERLER / SPECIAL TO THE STAR-ADVERTISER
Moanalua Na Menehune libero Kaden Sato, middle, held up the OIA Division I championship plaque as the team celebrated a victory over Mililani Wednesday at Radford. Moanalua won 25-11, 25-22, 25-21.The Kai Rodriguez masterclass was nearly flawless and absolutely clutch. The 6-foot-3 outside hitter had 17 kills and six aces as Moanalua swept Mililani 25-11, 25-22, 25-21 to capture the OIA boys volleyball championship on Wednesday night at James Alegre Gymnasium. It is the ninth OIA boys title under coach Alan Cabanting. “I feel really good. They were able to overcome some really tough obstacles that Mililani threw our way,” Moanalua coach Alan Cabanting said. “Mililani served really tough. JT (Todd) got flustered a little bit in the second set when they really started attacking him, so it’s nice he was able to come back and take more passes. Kai did amazing today. Because the passing wasn’t that great, we had to rely on the outsides a little bit more.” Rodriguez had 32 total attempts with only one hitting error late in the match. On Monday, in a sweep of Leilehua, he had 22 kills in 25 attempts without a hitting error. “I was just getting on top of it. I was hitting it as hard as I could,” Rodriguez said. “Yeah, that’s definitely the best I’ve served this year. It’s the championship, got me hyped. I was feeling good, feeling ready. Muscles feeling good.” Justin Todd tallied 13 kills, two aces and one block, while middle Keola Demello chipped in three kills and three blocks. Jaycen Bush added six kills. Setters Malu Wilcox and AJ Matsumoto dished 20 assists each. “Mililani wanted it as badly as we did,” Rodriguez added. “Definitely our setters have improved so much. Our oppos, our middles, have gotten so much better over the season.” Moanalua (31-3, 14-0) will have the OIA’s top seed and an opening-round bye at the New City Nissan/HHSAA Boys Volleyball State Championships on May 8, 11-13. Manase Fetulimoeata led the Trojans (12-1 OIA) with eight kills. Ethan George tallied four kills, two blocks and one ace, and Pihana Like, Tyler Duranceau and Dayne Rego chipped in three kills each. Carson Nakamura dished 13 assists and Kaleo Della Sala had nine assists and one kill. Outside hitter Evan Foki missed another match due to a knee injury. Balance was a must for Moanalua against the resilient Trojans. Moanalua is ranked No. 8 in the USA Today Super 25. “We brought out a little more power on the outside where Ethan did a phenomenal job against Roosevelt (on Monday). He stepped up,” Mililani coach Gabriel Maunupau said. “It’s hard because of a couple of mistakes. We get those kills, you never know. But again, someone like Kai serving 11 jump serves with that kind of pace, it’s hard to stop. Our team, from Roosevelt until now, I’m so proud of our kids. It’s nothing but happiness for me as a coach.” Moanalua began the match in alpha mode, turning a 13-10 lead into a runaway. Rodriguez had five kills and three aces to ignite Na Menehune. In set two, he had six kills to go with three aces, and Todd had five kills an ace as Moanalua rallied from a 17-12 deficit with a 13-5 run. Mililani led the third set 9-6 before Moanalua again caught fire. Bush had four kills in the final set, while Demello added two kills and two blocks.

Dejan was a beast. He, Costas and Tony Ching were fun to watch. Still pissed about the 2002 title being vacated. I still wanna know who "ratted out" UH and why they waited until after Costas senior season when they won the national championship? Why didn't they bring it up during his freshman or sophomore season? |

Why didn't they bring it up during his freshman or sophomore season? I'm more pissed that the very reason he was found in violation was than changed. But correct me if I'm wrong. The ruling was Costas played with a professional team, but never signed a contract, nor accepted money, therefore, not considered a professional. However at that time, the NCAA still found it as a violation. They then changed the rule where you actually needed to sign a contract and accept money to be considered a pro. NCAA revoked Hawaii and all its glory for that year, however, the MPSF kept whatever records Hawaii had. |

You are doing God's work here, appreciate it! Just a suggestion or two, it might be helpful/easier to see if you can group them based on the positions they play or the year they are starting. Like you can put Kai, JT, Zachery, and Ryan next to each other in a group. |
