Senior moments
The father of All-America middle Taylor Averill sang the national anthem and Hawaii Pono‘i.
Opposite attacker Brook Sedore proposed to his girlfriend, Keola Kahaulelio, a former Rainbow Wahine water polo player.
All in all, it was a good night for volleyball and UH.
“This is more of what we envisioned when I came back six years ago,” Charlie Wade said of the largest Warrior volleyball crowd in 11 years. “This level of play, the stature of the team, the national rankings, this kind of support … it’s awesome.”

Earlier, it was junior day for the football Warriors. Several of the state’s top 2016 prospects attended an orientation session and 2-hour practice.
Among the attendees were former Warriors and now head coaches — Amosa Amosa of Campbell and Rod York of Mililani. York will be a featured speaker at UH’s coaches clinic.
Jeremy Higgins, Kaiser’s offensive coordinator and a former UH quarterback, also attended. And, no, he did not signal plays to the UH quarterbacks.
Guud Morning Tsaikos…bootiful day.
Great series sweep by da Volleybows!
Beeg Mahalo to the seniors! They set the standard for the future.
IMUA WARRIORS!
Congratulations in order to Brooke and Keola!
Great “memory” moment.
NorthShoreFan:
Keola is from Haleiwa, but graduated from Kahuku.
GOOD MORNING, HAWAII!
Great game – and beautiful ceremony afterwards!
Best wishes to Keola and Brooke.
ST, nice article. I shoulda gone to watch practice, but chose to watch the Masters instead. Jordan Spieth is unbelievably good.
So happy for Charlie Wade and the Warrior Men’s VB team. Wishing this successful ride continues beyond the NCAA tournament. Need to bring home the trophy boys!!
just back from trip and crashed out around 6:30 last nite
wake up at 6:15 am to finish laundry – then, remembered more laundry in shute!!!! #$!^&%%##$#@@!
wonderful to read 7,000 at the SSC to cheer on the UHBVB over Stanford.
“OH it’s beer, beer, beer, that makes you want to cheer
On the farm, on the farm
“Oh it’s beer, beer, beer that makes you want to cheer
On the Leeland Stanford Jr farm
My eyes are dim I cannot see, I have not brought my speck with me
I have Yea, I have Yoh, I have not brought my specks with me
My #2 played against the future Mrs Sedore at States Waterpolo in 2010. That was an exciting game.
ST, there was something said about Keola being from the Northshore, now every time I go Haleiwa, my makas going be on the look out fo one tall and one short couple. How come I wen miss seeing dat pretty lady in Haleiwa, I dunno.
btw…neva had Haleiwa before..da whole area was Wailaua…den somebody wen change um.
hopefully we can et a bunch Sedore athletes I the future.
Is nice to heard so many went there to watch that senior match…just wish they would have had a bigger promotion for the match n fill the SSC…that would have been awesome….nice win….wish them success….twice at BYU…
Yea allan…me used to drink carbonated green river also on Maui…but after a few years it vanished…
Sad to hear season tickets not going to well for FB…but it is about par for TEAM that has so far…not been to solid…hopefully this year…sum sparks will fly…n we get back bowl bound,,,
Hope new decisions up there at UHAD…begin to take shape…n start to give some considerations for the fans…when they are made…n not for the convenience of opposing teams…
Good morning everyone!
A beautiful day in Hawaii– in many ways!
Congrats to the future Mr. & Mrs. Sedore!
7,000 at a men’s volleyball game is amazing.
How many times did the men’s basketball team draw more than 7,000+?
#13:
back in the Yuval Katz days, we would be apart of nearly 9-10,000 at every match
even went to Pauley Pavilion for four the final 4 which Coach Wilton got a lesson from Al Scates on how to manage his players and strategy – Wilton left Katz in all 5 games and was wasted in the 5th game while Scates took out his best player, Paul Nihipali, for the 4th game and he came back like gangbusters – he was very, very unhappy when he had to sit the 4th game, but was the hero of the 5th game and the match
same can be said of the Wahine VB attendance back in those days – walked out with “ringing” in my ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#11 … thanks for tip on Ferd’s season ticket article.
The article quotes Ben Jay that the “less than 60%” renewal amount is typical for the first pass at the season ticket holders; last year’s season ticket sales were 17,223.
UH is hosting the MPSF quarter finals on 25 April … hopefully more than 7,000 fans will attend. It would seem like a great opportunity for UH football to promote football season tickets. If they could promote and sell season ticket renewals and take deposits for new season ticket holders, that would be even better … maybe put some tables up near the liquid refreshment concessions. The logistics are probably insurmountable, but it would be really great if UH could sell non-season ticket seats at the match to fans that buy MPSF tickets as a “thank you” for supporting MVB.
And if the Rainbow Warriors win their next 3 matches, UH will host the MPSF semis and finals … that would be even more opportunities to promote football season ticket sales.
So less than 60% of ticket sales then last year would come out to around 10,000 or so. Did Ben Jay expect different? This is NOT Nebraska or other big football teams that don’t have to worry about season tickets. Some of the schools have waiting lists for season tickets. I wonder if Ohio State has to worry about season ticket sales? Isn’t their annual attendance almost 100,00? How much of a percentage is less from this regime to the former regime? I guess 3 years of not doing well in a very weak conference was too much for most fans. I am hoping for the best this season and really hope they make it to a bowl game.
#9, NSF, they wen change um because they wanted to separate the good people. nah, nah, j/k. Dunno if you keep up but besides Kaleo, former volleyball players Babes Kalulu and Cubi-Otineru from Haleiwa. Also soccer great Brian Ching. Just some small town pride. Also haven’t seen Nalani Choy posting for a while.
With sponsorships, UH should take out a full page ad and thank season ticket buyers by listing their names along with their years of commitment. Also post the names on the UH athletic site.
Dear Dave Matlin,
A few years ago the last of my season ticket holding hui decided to throw in the towel and not renew. My wife and I thought, well let’s buy his tickets and take a different set of friends each game. Maybe people who don’t usually go. It seemed a pleasant way to support UH athletics. So we again renewed our tickets this year and have begun to reach out to friends who we would like to take to a game, tailgate with and the like.
Well Dave, I would like you to know that it might even be hard to find someone who is willing to attend the season opener that is foolishly scheduled on a Thursday evening. Yes Dave, I know there are many factors to consider when scheduling games. But one of those factors is the fans (your customers and the people on whom your livelihood depends). I know you have not even started your new AD job yet but I am guessing you must be having a little anxiety about FB season ticket renewals.
So I just thought to remind you that your customers cannot understand how just plain dumb it seems (from our perspective) to schedule the best game of the season on a day and time when it seems no one wants to come (even for free in our case). I think you are an intelligent man Dave. I hope you realize you have customers out here who’s patience has been tried by the apparent lack of thoughtfulness in scheduling. I give the Colorado game as only one example. I could name more but I don’t want to burden you. You will have enough burdens already. And actually I do have a feeling that you know what a customer is. And that it is rather important that you treat your customers well. If you don’t, well you already have the results in front of you. Good luck Dave. It is in our mutual best interest that you figure these things out quickly.
Your friend,
Arcum

I have only attended a few men’s volleyball games this year because of my schedule, but glad I attended these last two matches. Men’s and Women’s volleyball may have the best senior nights of any UH sport (or any sport nationally for that matter)– the closeness of fans and the team and coaches helps as well as the players planning something exciting– I remember the UH defensive/serving specialist for the women’s team that had a dance routine with the team and announcement of her engagement to her fiance. Last night with Taylor Averil’s dad doing a perfect rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, AND Hawaii Ponoi, and Brook Sedore’s proposal, it was amazing.
They’re a nice looking couple. Best wishes to a great future.

Interesting event in San Diego
MWC SDSU is scheduling USD as an opening game after others canceled.
USD gets $350K guarantee, more than their entire Football budget as a non scholarship FCS Pioneer League team 3 time champion
A classic body bag game
Excited about the prospects of moving into the prime seats in this come back year! Cheeeeeee!
Vassar has a men’s volleyball team.
I didn’t realize they were a coed school now.
Good evening. Way to go.
#17, BigFan, yup dis small town produce some good ones once in a while. Small kine hometown pride.

I think they make a good couple.
#18. INTERESTING IDEA, PUBLISHING NAMES OF TKT HOLDERS; TWO FLAWS MIGHT SKEWER THE STATS THO’: A FEW YRS AGO, THE TKT OFFICE FORCED TKT HOLDERS TO SPLIT THE AMOUNT OF TKTS TO JUST 4 PER NAME PER SEASON, AND ALSO, THE RECORDS MAY NOT GO BACK B4, WHEN U.H. PLAYED AT HONOLULU STADIUM B4 1975. IT MIGHT REVEAL HOW MANY BLOGGERS HAVE TKTS-NOW AND IN THE PAST.
