After four weeks, there is a shakeup in the Star-Advertiser Girls Volleyball Top 10.
Punahou (11-2, 0-0 ILH), which was idle last week, ascended to the No. 1 spot after collecting seven out of 10 first-place votes. The panel of coaches and media still scratched out three first-place votes for Kamehameha (14-2, 0-0 ILH), which lost to Hawaii Baptist in the quarterfinal round of the Kamehameha-Hawaii Labor Day Classic.
‘Iolani (7-2) remained at No. 3.
Kahuku (9-1, 2-0 OIA East) climbed to No. 4 after a 21-25, 25-19, 27-25, 25-23 win at Moanalua last week.
Moanalua (20-7-1, 1-1 OIA East) dropped to No. 5. Na Menehune lost in the final of the tournament at Kamehameha-Hawaii to powerhouse Cathedral Catholic (San Diego), 33-31, 25-18.
Le Jardin (8-6, 1-0 ILH D-II) stayed put at No. 6.
Hawaii Baptist stormed back into the Top 10, landing at No. 7. The Eagles opened last week with a loss to Le Jardin, then flew to the Big Island and went 4-3-2 at the KS-Hawaii tourney. They upset Kamehameha 25-17, 11-25, 15-10 before falling to Moanalua in the semifinals.
KS-Hawaii (11-3-1, 6-0 BIIF) reached the semifinals of its tourney before losing to Moanalua. The Warriors moved up two spots to No. 8.
Kalani lost a five-set match at Farrington and dropped one notch to No. 9.
Mililani dropped to No. 10 from No. 7. Baldwin (6-6, 4-0 MIL) swept Lahainaluna, but dropped out of the Top 10.
