Texas volleyball champions earn 18s bid to TransPacific tournament in Hawaii

The first annual Paniolo Power Play at GameOn Sports Complex in Fort Worth, Texas, saw teams from multiple states compete for a free trip to Hawaii. Clubs travelled from Iowa, Oklahoma, Nevada, and even as far as Oregon and Washington. The teams and parents represented their states well in the two day tournament presented by 7GEN Culture.

The competition began with 500 lei at the entryway as a welcome to the Hawaii/Texas linked event. Once inside, competitors and fans got an energy boost from DJ Javi (@mcdjjavi). The environment was kept fun and family friendly, with lots of dancing even during the matches. The Texas hosts showed lots of aloha to everyone visiting for the weekend.

The GameOn facility includes a gym, concessions and medical/recovery center. Attendees could receive special recovery treatments such as Cryotherapy on site. The facility’s menu included Kalua Pig (pulled pork) Sliders, fresh pineapple, freshly made fruit/protein smoothies, and more.

Peak Volleyball Academy 17 Black minimized mistakes and put balls away when needed to come out on top. On the way to their title we witnessed great all around play from OH/OP Ava Broadie (@ava._volleyball7 , aka barngirl), electrifying explosiveness from #3 Maddison McCullough (@maddy.mcculloughh) and a terrifying heavy arm from #4 Kyra Bolden even hammering out of the back row. The high powered offense lead by veteran setter Keely DePauw (@keely.depauw_vb) kept opponents guessing all weekend.

Up next, Peak VA 17 Black, prepares for their free trip to the TransPacific Volleyball Championship held on January 17-19. The team will be testing their skills against the top clubs from around the world that use Hawaii as a meeting place. Will the tropical humidity or time change weight them down?

The HI Bred VBC 18 Premier team emerged victorious in a two-set sweep, 25-23, and 25-21 over Pure ALOHA 17 Ohana at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center to win the gold in the Kane Cup 18U division championship on Sunday!

Both teams stayed close in the first set, but Pure ALOHA 17 Ohana took the early lead first, 7-5. Neither team pulled a gap of more than five points through the whole first set.

HI Bred took the lead for good, 8-7. That generated a 4-1 HI Bred run to take a 12-8 advantage.

Although Pure ALOHA 17 Ohana used a 4-0 run to tie the score at 12, HI Bred answered back with a 5-1 run of their own to save the lead. Pure ALOHA 17 stayed close, but HI Bred did not crack under any pressure.

“The key was to space out and disperse the ball,” said HI Bred’s Daniel Kim.

HI Bred VBC 18 Premier would ultimately take the first set, 25-23.

Set two was another close match that saw three ties early on. Pure ALOHA 17 Ohana had the lead early, but HI Bred was just as tough and never let the gap exceed three points.

With Pure ALOHA 17 leading, 7-6, HI Bred VBC 10 Premier would take the lead for good with a 6-0 run, including back-to-back aces, and take a 12-7 lead.

HI Bred was not done there and went on another 8-2 run to create some distance.

Although Pure ALOHA 17 Ohana made one last push to at least force overtime, HI Bred VBC 18 Premier made some clutch kills down the stretch to win set two, 25-21, and complete the sweep!

Earlier, in the third place game, Kamuela VBC 18’s-Kane turned back 808AC 17 Royce, 2-1, in a three-set thriller. 808AC 17 Royce took the first set, 25-21, but Kamuela VBC 18’s-Kane bounced back to win the second set, 25-21, as well as the final set, 15-13.
