new thread up for Saturday’s match

30. Wade is so far removed from Shoji’s staff that I don’t see the connection.

32. Stephen is out as of yesterday. I picked up the men then. The rewrite in today’s paper is mine. Will have them as long as Stephen is out, or maybe through the end of the season.

MPSF is tough. #11 Stanford beat #1 BYU at BYU. If UH can win at home…win most on the road, we’ll be fine. They didn’t play as well as they could have, but it’s their forst road trip. I’ll be expecting them to be much better today.

Also, Cindy…with Steven out for his surgery for a while are you going to be the MVB beat writer?

-Aloha!

#29 sounds like Coach Shoji’s assistant has learned well the teaching of the master.

A loss at this time of year is not the end of the world. We need to establish a middle attack and our blocking was not there. The new guys need time to learn their assignments. We will be OK. My only “criticism” is Charlies reluctance to sub in when someone is having a bad game.

Hawaii middles have a way to go but they were the least of the problems, IMO they both blocked well against Lewis by the way.
The most disappointing today is the play of Fey I was hoping he would be more consistent this year, and senior Kanetake, he was just bad all match long. They need to play like experienced upperclassmen and show up tomorrow.

The Waves really stacked their block on the outsides, Hawaii’s lack of middles will not serve them well against the top teams in the MPSF. Agree, not a good effort at all, hopefully they can compete better tomorrow night, this Waves team is very beatable.

The middle blockers are not even blocking. The team has three freshmen middle blockers. Are they that bad that they can’t even play at all?

The worst play of the match was a dig that went down on Hawaii’s side without anyone even going for it. The Warriors lost their focus and did not play like warriors but more like sleep walkers.

Probably the worst match I’ve seen Hawaii play since the 2014 season. Just bad passing and too many errors hitting wise. Hope they turn things around tomorrow.
