A quiet week in the girls volleyball universe will be engulfed by the 38-team Kamehameha-Hawaii Labor Day Classic this weekend.
No. 1 Kamehameha is among several local teams competing with programs from California to Texas at the Kamehameha-Hawaii campus in Keaau.
Coaches and media gave Kamehameha six out of eight first-place votes in this week’s Star-Advertiser Girls Volleyball Top 10. Kamehameha’s 74-point total eked out the No. 1 ranking ahead of ‘Iolani, which got two first-place votes.
Fourth-ranked Moanalua, No. 5 Baldwin, No. 6 Kamehameha-Hawaii, No. 8 Kahuku, No. 9 Mid-Pacific and No. 10 Hawaii Baptist are also in the Labor Day Classic.
Punahou, ranked No. 3, has a bye until meeting No. 2 ‘Iolani in their ILH regular-season opener on Monday. OIA title contender Kapolei and three-time Division II state champion Le Jardin are also playing in the tournament.
