Farrington stops Moanalua
By Kim Baxter / Special to the Star-Bulletin
Given the two regular-season meetings between Moanalua and Farrington, there was no reason to believe that yesterday's Oahu Interscholastic Association Red Conference tournament third-round match would be anything but close.
Granted Na Menehune had swept the Governors in the two head-to-head matches, but Farrington had forced Moanalua to its only three-set win of the regular season and had pushed Na Menehune to the brink in a two-set loss.
But the last of those two matches was more than a month ago and the Governors proved that they have come a long way since then.
In a seesaw battle in which the momentum changed hands countless times and both teams shuffled between unstoppably good and maddeningly bad play, Farrington pulled out an emotional 25-18, 16-25, 25-20, 25-20 victory at the McKinley High gym yesterday.
The Governors (10-4 overall) held off the sixth-ranked team in the state, knocked off the OIA Red East division's top team and advanced to the semifinals, where it will play Kahuku next Tuesday at McKinley.
