Le Jardin takes set off No. 2 Kamehameha as new ILH girls volleyball format gets underway

By Nick Abramo on August 27, 2019

Using Kamehameha’s three-set victory over Le Jardin on Tuesday night as a small sample, the ILH’s new girls volleyball format is already a success. For years, some of the league’s D-II programs have consistently been in the Top 10 statewide, but instead of competing at the league or state level with the big girls in D-I, these smaller enrollment schools could only go as far as the D-II state title.

The Sabers fell 48-27 to Saint Louis, the No. 1 team in the state, […]
