Parity is here, but the Kamehameha Warriors won’t budge.

The Warriors gathered five of eight first-place votes to stay put at No. 1 in this week’s Star-Advertiser Girls Volleyball Top 10.

Though Kamehameha’s vote margin over No. 2 ‘Iolani widened just a bit, from one point to two points, the Raiders collected three first-place votes. In last week’s poll, Kamehameha had a 6-2 edge in first-place votes.

Moanalua is coming off a busy weekend at the Kamehameha-Hawaii Labor Day Classic. Na Menehune moved into a tie for No. 3 with Punahou.

No. 5 Baldwin also played in the tournament, which had a 38-team field.

“What an amazing tourney. The best I’ve ever coached in Hawaii,” Bears coach Al Paschoal said. “Hat’s off to Guy (Enriques) and his crew.”
