The University of Hawaii men’s volleyball season has ended locally but one voice still rings clear in my memory at every game: Ben Kiaaina! From the introduction of our home team to the announcing and pronouncing correctly the various names of our opponents, he was always accurate and superb in his delivery.
It’s amazing how he could keep up with the plays on the court and quickly name the participants. Not only that, but he led the crowd in “CHEE-HUU!” and other cheers when the ’Bows did well.
The University of Hawaii Athletics Department should find some way to honor him. Keep up the good work, Ben, and I look forward to hearing your voice again next season.
