Ljungquist, a junior middle blocker from Sweden, earned second-team All-America honors the past two seasons. Ah Mow, a McKinley High grad, is a junior setter and an All Big West Conference selection in 1994 and 1995. The two, who will be honored at the NCAA Final Four in Amherst, Mass., are the Wahine's most recent first team choices, joining Kee Williams (1991), Cheri Boyer (1991), and Karrie Trieschman (1990). ** VonAppen, Who Ya Gonna Call? In a press conference today, University of Hawaii athletic director Hugh Yoshida officially announced the hiring of Fred vonAppen as the school's new head football coach. VonAppen is quickly trying to assemble a staff of assistants and, according to unnamed sources, will hire former Stanford ('77) and San Francisco 49er ('81-'84) quarterback Guy Benjamin as his offensive coordinator. Other candidates for assistant coaching positions include former Stanford All-American Ken Margerum, currently the head coach at Hawaii Prep Academy; Monte Clark, former 49er head coach; Bill Singler, a former 49er running back; Doug Semones, head coach at Kahuku High; and Cal Lee, head coach at St. Louis. ** Surf's Up at Pipe ** Eight Hawaii surfers, including world title contender Sunny Garcia, advanced to the second round of the Chiemsee Gerry Lopez Pipe Masters in 8 to 12-foot surf yesterday at the Banzai Pipeline on Oahu's North Shore. Garcia is in a close battle for the world tour title with defending world champ Kelly Slater of Florida and hot up-and-comer Rob Machado of California. Both advanced yesterday, Slater in spectacular fashion with a near perfect score of 29.26 out of 30 in round one. Other Hawaii surfers joining Garcia in the second round are Derek Ho, Shane Dorian, Kaipo Jaquias, Pancho Sullivan, Ross Williams, Kalani Robb, and Larry Rios. ** Honolulu Marathon Notes ** Despite debilitating humidity and soaring temperatures, a record number of runners crossed the finish line at Sunday's Honolulu Marathon. Honolulu Marathon spokeswoman Eileen Mortenson said 26,986 runners, 73 percent from Japan, finished the race this year, the highest finisher count of any marathon in the world in 1995. The number also broke the former Honolulu record of 25,801 set last year. ** Prep Football All-Stars ** == OIA Red Division == Offensive player of the year: Kolo Funaki, Kahuku Defensive player of the year: Chris Paogofie, Waianae Coach of the year: Darren Hernandez, Campbell == OIA White Division == Offensive player of the year: Ryan Cannon, Kailua Defensive player of the year: Matt Gaspar, Kailua Coach of the year: Jerry Fornelia, Kailua == OIA Blue Division == Offensive player of the year: Faimanifo Sane, Kaimuki Defensive player of the year: Sennick Allen, Radford Coach of the year: Jose Guevara, Moanalua ** Hawaii Winter Baseball League ** Outrigger Division W L PCT GB Honolulu Sharks 28 22 .560 -- West Oahu CaneFires 27 23 .540 1 Volcano Division W L PCT GB Maui Stingrays 24 27 .471 -- *Hilo Stars 22 29 .431 2 *--clinched tie for division title == Yesterday's results == Maui 7, Honolulu 3 Maui 8, Honolulu 0: At Rainbow Stadium, Derrick Gibson hit three homers to lead the Stingrays to a sweep of the Sharks yesterday in Honolulu.

VonAppen, who must complete his commitment to the University of Colorado, which will play in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day, said he will install the "West Coast offense" employed by the San Francisco 49ers and will make a strong commitment to recruit local players. "We have to make a concerted effort to keep Island guys at home," he said. As for assistants, vonAppen said he'll hire the best coaches he can find, which may include several current UH assistants and the three Lee brothers: Cal, head coach at St. Louis High; Ron, St. Louis offensive coordinator; and Tommy, quarterback coach at the University of Utah. VonAppen, who will make Hawaii his 15th stop in his nearly 30 years in coaching, squelched talk that he will stay just a few years and then move on. "I'm not looking beyond," he said. "Pro football was never the ultimate. I want to work on a college campus. I was trained as an educator. That's what I am." ** Ruffin to Philly ** Former University of Hawaii basketball player Trevor Ruffin joined the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers recently, inking a guaranteed one-year contract that will earn him $225,000. Ruffin, who played for the Phoenix Suns last season, started this season with Paok in the Greek Pro League. He had a contract for $750,000 there. Homesick, Ruffin sought a release from the Greek team and returned home to Buffalo, New York, where he was contacted by the NBA club. In his 1995 season debut with the 76ers on Saturday night, Ruffin scored 10 points in 19 minutes of action. ** Prep Volleyball All-Stars Named ** == OIA East Boys == Hunter Haliniak, Roosevelt 5-11 Jr. Torry Tukuafu, Kahuku 6-4 Sr. B.

Email Dayle Turner * * (turner@hawaii.edu) if you have any comments or suggestions. * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** VonAppen New Bow Grid Boss ** Fred vonAppen will be named the next head football coach at the University of Hawaii, according to sources close to the University. Currently the defensive line coach at Colorado, vonAppen has 30 years of experience, having completed stints at Arkansas, UCLA, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Stanford, the Green Bay Packers, and the San Francisco 49ers, where he earned two Super Bowl rings. He has never been a head coach before. The 53-year- old vonAppen was the classmate of UH athletic director Hugh Yoshida at Linfield College in the mid-60s and is married and the father of seven. "He's a good coach on the field and, relationship-wise, he's good," said former St. Louis High player Viliamu Maumau, who toiled under vonAppen at Colorado. ** South Africans Rule Honolulu Marathon ** Enduring steamy, humid conditions that sent dozens of runners to hospital emergency rooms, South Africans Johannes Mabitle and Colleen De Reuck were the respective men's and women's winners at yesterday's Honolulu Marathon. Mabitle, 25, a coal mine worker who earned $20,000 for the triumph, outbattled three-time Honolulu winner Benson Maysa for 20 miles, finally pulling away for good in the final 100 meters to win in a non-record time of 2 hours, 16 minutes, 8 seconds. Maysa finished 11 seconds back. African runners captured nine of the first ten places in the race. John Smith, an oceanographer at the University of Hawaii, was the first Hawaii and U.S. finisher, striding across the line in 29th place with a time of 2:38:53. In the women's division, De Reuck (2:37:29), who also earned $20,000, blazed to a convincing triumph over runner-up Veronica Kanga of Kenya (2:39:35). Eight-time Honolulu women's champion Carla Beurskens of the Netherlands finished third in 2:42:27. Hawaii's top woman runner, Darlene Mota, finished fifth in 2:50:59. In the wheelchair division, Tom Sellers of Florida edged Georgia native Scot Hollonbeck in a photo finish. Both were credited with times of 1:38:30. ** Pipe Masters Gets Going ** The Chiemsee Gerry Lopez Pipe Masters began yesterday in 6 to 8- foot surf at the Banzai Pipeline on Oahu's North Shore. Eight surfers advanced to today's surf-off for three open spots in the contest's 44-man main draw. Seven of the eight are from Hawaii, including Brock Little, Jun Jo, Pancho Sullivan, Liam McNamara, Myles Padaca, Johnny Boy Gomes, and Braden Dias. Among those eliminated were Michael Ho, Hans Hedemann, and Shawn Briley. ** Hawaii Winter Baseball League ** Outrigger Division W L PCT GB Honolulu Sharks 28 20 .583 -- West Oahu CaneFires 26 23 .531 2.5 Volcano Division W L PCT GB Maui Stingrays 22 27 .449 -- Hilo Stars 22 28 .440 .5 == Yesterday's results == Honolulu 1, Hilo 0: At Rainbow Stadium, Hilo 6, Honolulu 2 (completion of suspended game): the Sharks and Stars split a pair of games yesterday.

High-Five, a team composed of former college players, "gave us a good lesson in basketball," said UH coach Riley Wallace, who watched his foes shred his Bows for 40 fast break points. "Unless we play 110 (percent) all the time, we're not very good. We need to understand that," said Wallace. Justice Sueing was the one bright light on a cloudy evening for the Rainbows, scoring 21 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. The Bows return to action for the Hawaii Nike Festival on Dec 19-20. ** All-State Team Announced ** The Honolulu Advertiser announced its 1995 All-State High School Football Team today. St. Louis quarterback Darnell Arceneaux and Waianae safety Chris Paogofie were named the top offensive and defensive players.

Waikiki Mile yesterday afternoon. Hanneck, who finished in a time of 3:59.49, won the men's mile by outkicking Ireland's Marcus O'Sullivan (3:59.94) and Canada's Kevin O'Sullivan (4:00.31) on an out-and-back course that began and ended at the intersection of Kalakaua and Kapahulu avenues. Jacobs (4:30.48) held off pre-race favorite Maria Mutola of Mozambique, who apparently erred near the end, lunging and stumbling about 10 yards before the finish line. Mutola did not finish. Sinead Delahunty of Ireland (4:31.19) and Suzy Hamilton of the U.S. (4:32.88) finished second and third, respectively. ** Hawaii Winter Baseball League ** Outrigger Division W L PCT GB Honolulu Sharks 26 19 .578 -- West Oahu CaneFires 25 23 .521 2.5 Volcano Division W L PCT GB Maui Stingrays 21 26 .447 .5 Hilo Stars 22 26 .458 -- == Yesterday's results == Maui 9, West Oahu 5: ---- Hilo at Honolulu, time suspension. ** Sports Shorts ** UH-Hilo defeated Chaminade 89-84 in the HIAC Tournament third- place game last night at Blaisdell Arena.

Email Dayle Turner * * (turner@hawaii.edu) if you have any comments or suggestions. * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** Spartans Shock Wahine ** The magical run is over. And a state cried for its proud and talented heroines. The University of Hawaii Wahine volleyball team, the darlings of the Aloha State, saw its 31-game winning streak and its season come to a stunning conclusion last night following a 15-6, 15-8, 10-15, 7-15, 12-15 loss to a tall, determined Michigan State squad in the NCAA Mountain Regional Final at a sold-out Special Events Arena. The Wahine grabbed a quick two-games to none lead, and when they raced to a 4-0 cushion in game three, appeared ready to clinch a spot in the Final Four. But the Spartans, led by the 12-block, 15-kill effort of regional MVP Dana Cooke, rallied to overtake the Wahine for a 15-10 game-three triumph. With Hawaii attackers Joselyn Robins, Therese Crawford, and Angelica Ljungquist seeming to lose the snap they had displayed earlier, the Spartans continued their charge, winning game four with surprising ease, 15-7. In the final rally scoring game, MSU sprinted to a 6-1 advantage and although the Wahine rallied for an 11-all tie, Cooke made two huge plays, a block and a kill, to give the Spartans a two-point advantage they would not surrender. "We have nothing to be ashamed of," said UH coach Dave Shoji at the post-match press conference. While he said this, two of his star players, Ljungquist and senior captain Jenny Wilton, sat next to him unsuccessfully fighting back tears. "I'm proud of my team," said Shoji. "They over-achieved, did more than anybody thought they could do." ** Lee Out? ** Unnamed sources say that St. Louis High School football coach Cal Lee is no longer a candidate for the head coaching job at the University of Hawaii. UH athletic director Hugh Yoshida would not confirm that Lee has been crossed off of his short list. If the sources are correct, then four candidates remain: BYU offensive coordinator Norm Chow, Arizona associate head coach Duane Akina, Colorado assistant Fred vonAppen, and Ohio State defensive coordinator Bill Young. Each has reportedly offered Lee a position on his staff. ** Honolulu Marathon Tomorrow ** A record 32,195 people are signed up to run in tomorrow's Honolulu Marathon. Between 25,000 to 30,000 are expected at the starting line for the 5:30 a.m. start. Among the throng will be defending champion and three-time winner Benson Masya of Kenya and nine-time women's winner Carla Beurskens of the Netherlands. Both will be vying for the $20,000 prizes given to the first men's and women's finishers. ---- A related event, the second annual Nike P.L.A.Y. Waikiki Mile, will be held this afternoon on Kalakaua Avenue. World class men's and women's runners, including Ireland's Marcus O'Sullivan and Maria Mutola of Mozambique, will be competing for the $4,000 first prize. ** Bows Play High Five Tonight ** The UH men's basketball team returns to action tonight with an exhibition game against High Five America at the Special Events Arena. UH coach Riley Wallace will experiment at the guard position, rotating Anthony Harris, Alika Smith, and Sam Smith at the point. Also unresolved is the role of Justice Sueing, who could start at either the power or small forward positions. ** Goodwill Tie ** The East and West squads battled to a 14-14 tie in the Building Trades Council Goodwill Football Classic last night before 2,608 fans at Aloha Stadium. With his team trailing 14-8 with less than two minutes remaining, West quarterback Fred Salanoa of Radford High scored on a one yard plunge on fifth down, an oversight missed by the officiating crew. "That's all right," said East coach Wendell Look of Iolani. "It was a great game for the kids and the fans." Radford defensive back Sennick Allen had an outstanding game for the West, snaring an errant Corey Shippy (Farrington) pass and returning a punt 35 yards. For the East, Kahuku's Ken Faavae rushed for 59 yards on nine carries while Pac-Five quarterback Sean Murphy completed five of eight passes for 75 yards. ** HIAC Tourney Begins ** Jojo Outlaw scored a layup with two seconds remaining to propel Hawaii Pacific past Chaminade 98-96 in an opening round game of the Hawaii Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Basketball Tournament last night at Blaisdell Arena. Seven-footer Juergen Malbech scored 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for the Sea Warriors. In an earlier game, Paulasi Matavao scored 29 points to lead BYU-Hawaii past UH-Hilo 97-84. HPU will take on BYUH in the tournament final tonight. ** Hawaii Winter Baseball League ** Outrigger Division W L PCT GB Honolulu Sharks 26 19 .578 -- West Oahu CaneFires 25 22 .532 2 Volcano Division W L PCT GB Hilo Stars 21 26 .447 -- Maui Stingrays 21 26 .447 -- == Yesterday's results == West Oahu 10, Maui 8: Ben Agbayani and Franz Yuen each laced out three hits to lead the CaneFires over the Stingrays. ---- Honolulu 3, Hilo 0: Todd Blyleven and John Dillinger combined on a five-hitter for the Sharks.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * -==** HAWAII SPORTS NEWS **==- * * The following is a summary of the 12/8/95 Hawaii Sports News * * compiled from a variety of sources. Email Dayle Turner * * (turner@hawaii.edu) if you have any comments or suggestions. * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** Wahine Advance to Region Final ** With 10,225 roaring fans behind them, the UH Wahine outgunned Arizona State 15-8, 15-5, 11-15, 15-13 in an NCAA Regional semifinal volleyball match last night at the Special Events Arena. The win advanced Hawaii (31-0) to the regional final tonight before another sellout crowd against Michigan State (33-2), a 15-11, 15-13, 15-10 victor over San Diego State in an earlier semifinal at the SEA. In last night's victory, it was Hawaii's intimidating block that sent the Sun Devils packing for the long plane ride back to Tempe. "That's probably the best block of any team we've faced all year," said ASU coach Patti Snyder-Park. "They took us completely out of our offense." Offensively, setter Robyn Ah Mow spread the wealth nicely, with the Wahine's leading attackers--Angelica Ljungquist (16), Joselyn Robins (14), Therese Crawford (13), and Jenny Wilton (12)--each hammering double-digit kill figures. "The fan support Hawaii gets here is just awesome," said Jenn Snyder, who led ASU with 16 kills. "I have a such a headache from that crowd." ** Chow time for Bows? ** Rumor has it that BYU associate head football coach and offensive coordinator Norm Chow is the leading candidate for the currently- vacant University of Hawaii head coach position. Chow dismissed talk that UH cannot afford to compensate him adequately. "Everybody has a price tag," said Chow. "But discussions haven't even gotten to dollar figures yet." Chow, a Punahou graduate and formerly the head coach at Waialua High School, said he is confident in his ability to recruit locally and on the mainland. And he says he already has a coaching staff in mind, which would include the three Lee brothers--Cal Lee, the current head coach at St. Louis High; Ron Lee, the Crusaders' offensive coordinator; and Tommy Lee, currently the quarterback coach at Utah. UH athletic director Hugh Yoshida, who will choose the next UH coach, is expected to announce his decision in the next few days. ** Powell Rules Sunset ** Australia's Shane Powell slashed and bottom-turned his way to the the Moku Hawaii World Cup of Surfing title in 2- to 3-foot waves yesterday at Sunset Beach on Oahu's North Shore. The event is the second in the Hawaii Triple Crown of Surfing. Another Aussie, Richard Lovett, won the first--the Wyland Galleries Hawaiian Pro--a few weeks ago. Powell pocketed $4,000 for yesterday's triumph, with Hawaii's Derek Ho ($2,000) finishing second and Australia's Nathan Webster ($1,500) finishing third. Two other Hawaii surfers, Kalani Robb and John Shimooka, finished tied for fifth, each earning $1,000. Attention now turns to the final event of the Triple Crown, the Chiemsee Pipe Masters, which will begin tomorrow at the Banzai Pipeline, surf permitting. ** Bows Return Home ** Following a disappointing setback to Long Beach State on Wednesday night, the UH men's basketball team (2-1) returns home to take on High Five America in an exhibition game tomorrow night at the Special Events Arena. The Rainbows, who displayed vulnerability to the press in the loss to the 49ers, will rotate Anthony Harris, Alika Smith, and Sam Smith at the point guard position on Saturday night. "We have to find the right combination, especially now that teams know they can press us," said UH coach Riley Wallace. "And our guards have to look to our big people more. We'll never know what they can do unless we give them the ball." ** Hawaii Winter Baseball League ** Outrigger Division W L PCT GB Honolulu Sharks 25 19 .568 -- West Oahu CaneFires 24 22 .521 2 Volcano Division W L PCT GB Hilo Stars 21 25 .456 -- Maui Stingrays 21 25 .456 -- == Yesterday's results == Honolulu 5, West Oahu 2: At Hans L'Orange Field, the Sharks scored three runs in the top of the 12th inning to edge the CaneFires last night.

Hawaii, forced into 21 turnovers by the pressing 49ers, stayed even with Long Beach for most of the game but faded down the stretch. "They extended us harder than we've ever been extended," said UH coach Riley Wallace. "We kind of lost our legs at the end." Anthony Harris led the Bows with 19 points. Justice Sueing, playing his first game of season for the Rainbows (2-1) after being suspended for elbowing an opponent in a WAC playoff game last March, added 15 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. ** Wahine Have Appointment with 'Devils Tonight ** Led by 6-foot Christine Garner and 6-foot-2 Jenn Snyder, Arizona State (19-7) will attempt to end the UH Wahine's 30-game winning streak party tonight in a loser-out NCAA Championship Mountain Regional semifinal volleyball match at the sold-out Special Events Arena. "I'm really concerned about their outside attack," said UH head coach Dave Shoji. "From what I understand, Snyder is playing better than Garner, and Garner is regarded as one of the best left-side hitters in the country. That's scary." Shoji can ease his jitters when he considers the talent on his side of the net, including Big West Conference player of the year Angelica Ljungquist and all-conference first-teamers Therese Crawford and Robyn Ah Mow. "It'll be a great match," said Shoji. ** Honors to Valiengo, Navalta ** The heart of the BYU-Hawaii volleyball team, Anik Valiengo, was named the NAIA Player of the Year yesterday. Wilfred Navalta of BYUH was named coach of the year. A 5-8 senior setter from Brazil, the 30-year-old Valiengo led the Seasiders to the NAIA national title this year. She was also a starter on three other Seasider NAIA title winners. Navalta, who has a 260-58 record in his 10 years at BYUH, coached the Seasiders to their sixth-ever national championship this season. Also honored by the NAIA were Becky Laubach of BYUH (second team), Solene Duvauchelle of Hawaii Pacific (second team), and Hawaii Baptist grad Stacy Tongg of Cal Baptist (third team). ** Surfing News ** Australia's Pauline Menczer earned $5,000 for winning the Chiemsee Women's Masters surf meet yesterday at Sunset Beach on Oahu's North Shore.

We have to get our big guys involved." ** Baseball Bows Look Good--on Paper ** After two consecutive disappointing seasons, UH baseball coach Les Murakami promises that the 1995-96 Rainbows will be vastly improved. Stopping short of promising of a WAC or Regional title, Murakami has several reasons to be optimistic: a strong pitching staff--led by Olympian-to-be Mark Johnson, Paul Ah Yat, Robby Robinson and Jay Spurgeon; a talented infield--which includes the sure gloves of shortstop Jaime Ahu and second baseman Jody Napuunoa; a faster-than-Speedy-Gonzales outfield foursome of Neal Honma, Bobby Medeiros, Jason Ross, and Keoni Hansen; and several talented young players, including second-year outfield Kelly Konishi and true freshman Kenn Wakakuwa and Gerg Millichap. ** Prep Honors ** The Maui Interscholastic League all-star football team was announced yesterday with league and Neighbor Island champion Maui High sweeping the three top honors.

Bolles, who won by 7 points over Blakey, earned $2,500 for the victory. It was a shootout between the PBA's best. Bolles, who finished 7th at Leeward Bowl on Sunday, overcame Blakely (12th at Leeward on Sunday) to take it all last night.

"The team understands that we need to be undefeated to win the national championship," said UH coach Dave Shoji. "The pressure there is to win the title." To do so, the Wahine will have to add ASU, a team described by one coach as one of the best defensive clubs in the nation, to their list of victims. Said Shoji: "I think you'll see two great defensive teams battling it out. It'll be a great match." == USA Today/AVCA Women's Volleyball Top 10 == PTS Record 1. Nebraska (51) 1,443 29-1 2.

Arizona State 921 19-7 ** I Can Do It, says Lee ** St. Louis High School football coach Cal Lee, addressing a crowd at the Honolulu Quarterback luncheon yesterday, said he is prepared to be the next head coach at the University of Hawaii. The architect of a St. Louis program that has won 10 consecutive ILH and Oahu Prep Bowl championships, Lee downplayed his lack of college coaching experience--he was an assistant at Willamette College for a couple of years--by pointing out that he has the most head coaching experience of any of the candidates. "You'll never know what a head coach's responsibilities are unless you've been there, believe me," said Lee. "I'm not a Gerry Faust," quipped Lee. "I'm a different man. What we're doing at St. Louis isn't a fluke." UH athletic director Hugh Yoshida, the man who will choose the next coach, is currently interviewing candidates and says he will announce his decision by Dec. 15. ** Fuamatu Honored ** UH-Hilo middle blocker Tanya Fuamatu was named to the 12-player AVCA Division II All-America first team yesterday. A 5-8 senior from Kalihi, Fuamatu is the Vulcan's career leader in kills, blocks, and digs. A highly sought after player as a University High senior, Fuamatu said she was glad to have attended UH-Hilo and played for Vulcan coach Sharon Peterson. "She taught me not only a lot about volleyball about life--stuff that I'll keep with me for the rest of my life." ---- Fuamatu is the product of a very athletic family. Younger brother Chris Fuamatu-Maafala was this year's Western Athletic Conference freshman of year for his outstanding play as a running back for the University of Utah. And younger sister Valasi Sepulona was the OIA Eastern Division player of the year and led Farrington to the OIA championship. ** Justice Prevails ** His time in the brig served, Justice Sueing has been cleared to return to active duty for the UH basketball team beginning with tomorrow night's game at Long Beach State. A 6-foot-8 power forward and the Bows' best defender, Sueing was ineligible to play in Hawaii's first four games for elbowing Utah player Keith Van Horne in the WAC postseason tournament last March. According to head coach Riley Wallace, Sueing must earn his way back into the starting lineup. "We're 2-0 without him," said Wallace. Tonight's game will be televised on ESPN, beginning at 7 pm HST. ** Wahine Win Rematch ** The UH Wahine basketball team avenged last Friday night's loss to Buffalo by defeating the Royals 71-59 last night before a sitting-room-everywhere crowd of 337 at the cavernous Special Events Arena. Nani Cockett scored 22 points and grabbed 6 rebounds and Nani Flores powered in 17 points and snagged 5 boards for the Wahine (3-2). Hawaii has a couple weeks off before returning to action for the Dec 19-21 Ala Moana Hotel Paradise Classic. ** ILH All-Star Grid Team Named ** Darnell Arceneaux of St. Louis and Jason Ching of Punahou were named the offensive and defensive players of the year, respectively, on the Interscholastic League of Honolulu All-Star football team, selected by league coaches.

It wasn't. Amassing an impressive 20 blocks, and with Joselyn Robins soaring for 13 kills, the second-ranked UH Wahine volleyball team easily defeated Louisville 15-4, 15-7, 15-2 last night in an NCAA Tournament second round game before a jubilant crowd of 10,225 at the Special Events Arena. The triumph was Hawaii's 30th of the season without a loss and propelled them to a Mountain Regional semifinal match-up against 13th ranked Arizona State on Thursday at the Special Events Arena. "They are certainly capable of winning the national championship," said Louisville coach Don Hardin about the Wahine. "They have outstanding net play, they won all the long rallies, they play great defense, and they held us to our lowest hitting percentage (.068) of the year." ** And Then There Were Five ** Yesterday, University of Hawaii athletic director Hugh Yoshida announced the five finalists for the head football coaching position: Duane Akina, 39, associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Arizona; Norm Chow, 49, associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Brigham Young; Cal Lee, 49, athletic director and head football coach at St. Louis High School; Fred VonAppen, 53, defensive line coach at Colorado and former assistant for the San Francisco 49ers under Bill Walsh; and Bill Young, 48, defensive coordinator at Ohio State. Yoshida said he plans to begin formal interviews with the candidates this week and hopes to have the new coach on board by Dec. 15. ** Figuera Bowls 'Em Over ** Tony Figuera captured first place in the 18th Annual Professional Bowlers Association Western Regional held this past weekend at Leeward Bowl. Figuera came from 5th place after Saturday's qualifying to win it all in Sunday's finals at Leeward following his win at Kona Bowl earlier in the week. PBA member Figuera, from Waianae but now making his home in Gardena, Calif., averaged 219 but trailed finalist leader Jeff Hickenbottom during Saturday's 10-game qualifying by 67 pins. Figuera also had to outbowl 14 other finalists, including many PBA regional champions and some of Hawaii's best. Figuera is looking forward to capturing the third jewel on the Hawaii PBA Western Regional "tour" at Aiea Bowl on Tuesday & Wednesday 12/5-6, 1995.

Ryan Jackson had three hits and former University of Hawaii pitcher Bobby Moore pitched six innings, allowing just one run and three hits for Honolulu. ** Sports Shorts ** Anthony Harris was chosen by his teammates as the captain of the UH basketball team, according to head coach Riley Wallace. "By choosing him, the team is saying, 'Lead us,'" said Wallace. ---- Third-ranked Tennessee overpowered Penn State 79-67 to win the championship of the women's Kona Basketball Classic on the Big Island last night. ---- Dan Winterroth (16:11) and Jeannie Wokasch (17:42) won the men's and women's titles, respectively, in yesterday's Sam's 5- kilometer (3.1 mile) road race around Kapiolani Park.

Said Wagner, who was terminated by athletic director Hugh Yoshida on Tuesday, "My whole time here was so special. I'll never forget this." On the field, the Rainbows played in their typical scrappy fashion, coming back after trailing 24-7 midway through the fourth quarter. But as has been the case all year, it was too little too late for Hawaii, which finished a disappointing 4-8 in 1995. Following the loss, Wagner, the UH head coach for the past nine seasons, joined his senior players for the traditional walk around the Aloha Stadium field. After completing his lap, embracing several players along the way, Wagner paused at the entrance to the locker room tunnel and blew a two-handed kiss to what was left of the crowd of 25,272. "I'll never forget this," Wagner echoed while striding up the tunnel for the final time. ---- Senior defensive back Clint Kuboyama was named the Bows' most valuable player for the '95 season at an awards ceremony yesterday morning. Warrior club awards for consistently outstanding performances went to Shane Olivera, Eddie Klaneski, Rod York, Tyler Tanigawa, Johnny Macon, and Matt Harding. ** National Title to BYUH ** For the fourth time in the last five years, the NAIA Women's Volleyball title banner will hang in Cannon Activities Center in Laie, the latest one a result of BYU-Hawaii's 6-15, 15-12, 15-12, 15-5 championship game triumph over Puget Sound last night in San Diego. Anik Valiengo, the setter and team captain of the Seasiders, was named tournament MVP. "This was the hardest nationals for me," said Valiengo, a starter on four Seasider national title winners. "Being ranked No. 1 and being favored here, I've had to be real strong for the team." And she was, rallying the Seasiders after an opening game loss to the Loggers last night by distributing precise passes to an array of Seasider teammates, particularly Daniela Carneiro (22 kills), Ana Alves (9) and Becky Laubach (8). BYUH's title is its sixth overall. Hawaii-Hilo has won five. ** Wahine-Cardinals Tonight ** A talented and confident UH Wahine volleyball team (29-0) will square off against Louisville in an NCAA Tournament second round game tonight at the sold-out Special Events Arena. Leading Hawaii will be Angelica Ljungquist, the Big West Conference player of the year. "We are confident and having fun playing," said Ljunquist, a 6-3 junior from Vallentuna, Sweden. "The harmony and chemistry between teammates all came naturally to us." A victory tonight will land Hawaii the host spot for the four-team Mountain Regional this Thursday and Friday. ** Homegrown Report ** == Courtesy of Dennis Anderson (dennis@aloha.com) == Washington junior linebacker Ink Aleaga (Maryknoll '91) of Aiea was picked on the first team All-Pac 10 by coaches. Aleaga, the antithesis of "outspoken," is becoming a legend in Seattle as "The Silent Assassin."

Ikeda was co-captain who played setter mostly but even at 5-feet-4 was used as middle blocker some times. ---- Senior Patrick Kesi (Farrington '91) started all season at offensive tackle and Ikaika Malloe (Kamehameha '92) of Waimanalo started at rover for Washington's football team, along with Ink Aleaga (above). Opu Seminavage (Waianae '90) was the Huskies' long snapper. True freshman Olin Kreutz (St. Louis '95) played a great deal on the offensive line and Patrick Kesi's brother, Petrocelli (St. Louis '93) was a backup offensive lineman. ---- Vae Tata (St. Louis '94) of Honolulu started five games at defensive end for UCLA before he tore knee ligaments. ---- Brothers Tasi and Pulou Malepeai, both 1992 St. Louis grads from Kalihi, played starting offensive guard and backup fullback, respectively, for Oregon.

Email Dayle Turner * * (turner@hawaii.edu) if you have any comments or suggestions. * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** Seasiders to Semis ** Top-seeded BYU-Hawaii advanced to the semifinals of the NAIA women's national volleyball tournament by defeating Columbia (Mo.) College 15-12, 15-7, 15-8 in a quarterfinal match yesterday at Point Loma Nazarene College in San Diego. The Seasiders fell behind in each game, including a 3-8 deficit in the first, but calmly came back to notch wins each time. "We played a lot better today," said BYUH coach Wilfred Navalta. "We're playing with more confidence now." Ana Alves and Daniela Carneiro had 13 kills apiece for the Seasiders (33-1), who will advance to tonight's championship game if they beat No. 4 Fresno Pacific today. ** More Candidates Seek UH Football Spot ** A former Longhorn, a former Bow, and a former All-Pro are among the latest candidates added to the list of University of Hawaii head football coach hopefuls. Former Texas coach Fred Akers, who coached the Longhorns for ten years in the mid-70s through mid- 80s before moving on to Purdue, has thrown his Stetson into the ring. Also applying for the position is Buzzy Preston, a former UH player and assistant coach who has coached at Washington State the past two seasons. Pro football fans will also recall the name of a third new candidate: Joe DeLamielleure, an All-Pro offensive lineman who cleared holes Buffalo Bills teammate O.J. Simpson. DeLamielleure is currently an assistant at Liberty University. The three join six other candidates who have already announced their intention to seek the position of recently-fired Bob Wagner, including Norm Chow, BYU associate head coach; Duane Akina, associate head coach at Arizona; Cal Lee, head coach and athletic director at St. Louis High School; Adam Rita, former UH offensive coordinator and most recently a coach in the Canadian Football League; Fred Von Appen, an assistant at Colorado; and Bill Young, defensive coordinator at Ohio State. ---- Meanwhile, the Bows will close the 1995 season with a game against Oklahoma State tonight at Aloha Stadium. Seniors John Hao, Rodney Glover, and Phil Cunningham, now benchwarmers but all starters at some point in their careers, walked out of practice on Thursday as a form of protest against the way they felt they were treated by Wagner. Wagner, who barred the three from staying with the rest of the team at a hotel last night, said he will allow them to suit up for tonight's game. "They've come too far and deserve to be on the sideline and participate in the Senior Walk," he said. ** Pin Titles to Kauai and Pearl City ** Kauai High won the boys' title and Pearl City the girls' at the Hawaii High School State Bowling Championships yesterday at Lihue Lanes on Kauai. Kauai's Angelo Matias averaged 201.3 for nine games to win the boys' individual title.

The 29-0 Wahine will be heavy favorites to defeat the 29-5 Cardinals. ** Yoshida Must Decide ** The job of choosing the University of Hawaii's next football coach falls into the hands of the man who axed its most recent one. Athletic director Hugh Yoshida, who sent the Islands into a frenzy when he fired head football coach Bob Wagner on Tuesday, has been given the authority by UH president Kenneth Mortimer to choose Wagner's replacement. The leading candidate for the job is BYU offensive coordinator Norm Chow, whose name popped up most frequently in informal polls of current Rainbow players. Also in contention are Arizona assistant and Punahou grad Duane Akina, St. Louis High coach Cal Lee, former UH assistant Adam Rita, and Auburn offensive coordinator Tommy Bowden, the son of Florida State coach Bobby Bowden. Said UH offensive lineman Marcus Malepeai: "I just hope the athletic director who made this stupid decision (to fire the coaches) knows what he's doing." Yoshida, who has begun setting up interviews with candidates, is expected to render a decision in the next week or two. ** BYUH Opens With Wins ** BYU-Hawaii won its opening pool play matches yesterday at the NAIA national women's volleyball championship tournament at Point Loma Nazarene College in San Diego. In match one, the defending national champion Seasiders, paced by Daniela Carneiro's 10 kills, defeated St. Ambrose (Iowa) 15-8-15-13, 15-7. In the second match, BYUH swept St Edward's (Texas) 15-10, 15-9, 15-11. Carneiro again led the Seasiders with 16 kills. Pool play continues today. ** Wahine Basketball News ** Doctors confirmed that UH Wahine freshman basketball player Hedy Liu will be lost for the season because she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee in a game against Connecticut this past weekend. UH will apply for medical hardship so that Liu, a former University High star, will still have four more years to compete. Meanwhile, the season continues for the Wahine (2-1), who will play the University of Buffalo (0-0) tomorrow evening at the Special Events Arena. That game will be preceded by an exhibition match between former Wahine players. Among the 30 or so alumnae players returning are Kaui Wakita, Jen Kaeo, Lynette Liu, Melanie Azama, Lisa Mann, and Cheryl Grimm. ** Hawaii Winter Baseball League ** Outrigger Division W L PCT GB West Oahu CaneFires 22 18 .550 -- Honolulu Sharks 20 18 .526 1 Volcano Division W L PCT GB Hilo Stars 18 21 .461 -- Maui Stingrays 18 21 .461 -- == Yesterday's results == Maui 1, West Oahu 0: At Hans L'Orange Park, Forey Wells hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Kats Miyaji in the eighth inning to propel the Stingrays past the CaneFires last night.

Email Dayle Turner * * (turner@hawaii.edu) if you have any comments or suggestions. * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** It's Official: Wags is Out ** UH athletic director Hugh Yoshida called a press conference yesterday morning to announce his decision to fire head football coach Bob Wagner and his assistant coaches. Pointing to decreased attendance and gate revenues as critical criteria, Yoshida, addressing a crowd of several dozen at the Special Events Arena, said he had decided after the Rainbows' loss to Air Force on Saturday night that it was time for a change. While Yoshida was fielding questions, UH basketball coach Riley Wallace angrily interrupted the proceedings, questioning Wagner's dismissal and pointing out that UH coaches should not be terminated because of falling gate totals. "Nobody ever told us that was an important criteria for keeping our jobs," said Wallace. When it was Wagner's turn to address the small crowd, he was emotional, choking back tears as he answered questions. "I'm disappointed...hurt," said Wagner. "But I'm not bitter. Being bitter doesn't get you anywhere." Wagner is still owed $200,000 in salary for the next two years. It is not clear if he will continue working at UH in some capacity or if his contract will be bought out. ----- With Wagner gone, the focus immediately turned to questions about who his successor will be. The leading candidates are BYU assistant coach Norm Chow, 49, a Punahou grad who has coached on the Cougar staff for 20 years; Duane Akina, 39, also a Punahou grad and currently associate head coach at Arizona under former UH-coach Dick Tomey; and Cal Lee, 49, a graduate of Kalani High School and the architect of the highly successful St. Louis High School football program that has produced 10 straight Oahu Prep Bowl winners. All three have indicated they will apply for the job. ---- Outside linebacker George Noga was named to Western Athletic Conference second team yesterday. He was the only Rainbow to earn first or second team honors. Several Bows earned honorable mention, including Marcus Melepeai, Shane Olivera, Tupu Alualu, Eddie Klaneski, and Brett Washington on offense; Brian Chapman, Rod York, Agenhart Ellis, Danny Katoa, Clint Kuboyama on defense; and Carlton Oswalt, Chad Shrout, and Matt Harding on special teams. Utah's Chris Fuamatu-Maafala, a St. Louis High graduate, was named freshman of the year. ** Seasiders Begin Defense Today ** The BYU-Hawaii Wahine volleyball team starts its march for a third consecutive national title as the NAIA National Tournament gets underway today at Point Loma Nazarene College in San Diego. The Seasiders, ranked No. 1 in the NAIA Poll and seeded first in the tournament, have three pool-play matches today. ** Hawaii Winter Baseball League ** Outrigger Division W L PCT GB West Oahu CaneFires 22 17 .564 -- Honolulu Sharks 20 17 .541 1 Volcano Division W L PCT GB Hilo Stars 17 21 .447 -- Maui Stingrays 17 21 .447 -- == Yesterday's results == Maui 5, West Oahu 3: At Hans L'Orange Park, Dwight Maness hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to propel the Stingrays past the CaneFires last night. ---- Honolulu 4, Hilo 0: At Wong Stadium, Noe Najera and Bryan Wolf collaborated on a three-hit shut out for the Sharks. Ryan Jackson's two-run triple in the fourth inning was the big blow for Honolulu. ** Sports Shorts ** The NCAA second round playoff game at the 10,000 seat Special Events Arena between the UH Wahine and either or will probably be a sellout. Tickets for the match went on sale yesterday and just a 1,000 or so seats remain. ---- The first trial round for the Moku Hawaii World Cup of Surfing began yesterday in 3- to 5-foot surf at Sunset Beach. Several Hawaii surfers advanced including Johnny Boy Gomes, Andy Irons, Dino Miranda, and Mikala Jones. Trials continue today, waves permitting. ---- The UH men's and women's swimming teams took on UC-Irvine in a dual meet yesterday. The men won 8 of 12 events for a 123-81 triumph over the Anteaters.

Both Wagner and Yoshida could not be reached for comment. A press conference is scheduled for this morning. Wagner compiled a 58-48-3 record in his nine years as the Rainbow head man. But after his team captured the WAC crown in 1992, its fortunes and fans disappeared. This year's Bows are 4-7 with one game remaining. Said longtime UH assistant George Lumpkin, now suddenly jobless: "I guess Hugh did what he had to do. But when you deal with people's livelihoods, its pretty devastating. It's very hard to stomach right now." Sources close to the university say that Wagner's successor will be named in a week or two. Among the candidates confirming they will apply for the job are BYU offensive coordinator Norm Chow and St. Louis High School coach Cal Lee. ** Ljungquist, Shoji Honored ** Hawaii was in the spotlight when the Big West All-Conference team was announced yesterday.

The second-ranked Wahine (29-0) earned a first round bye and next Sunday at the Special Events Arena will play the winner of a first round battle between Central Florida (32-9) and Louisville (28-5). If victorious in that match, Hawaii will then host the Mountain Regional on Dec 7 and 8. The regional winner then will advance to the Final Four Dec. 14 and 16 at Amherst, Mass. ** Bows Win Tourney ** Anthony Harris poured in 30 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 4 assists to lead the UH men's basketball team to a 72-66 triumph over St. Louis University in the championship game of the United Airlines Tipoff Tournament last night before 6,908 fans at the Special Events Arena. Former Kalaheo star Alika Smith added 16 points and 6 rebounds for the Bows (2-0). Harris was named the tournament MVP and was joined by Smith on the first team. ** UConn Tames Wahine ** Connecticut, the nation's third-ranked women's basketball, defeated the UH Wahine 65-48 to win the 17th Wahine Classic title yesterday afternoon at the Special Events Arena. Trailing by 11 at the half, the Wahine came out of the locker room on fire, cutting UConn's lead to three in the first six minutes. But the defending national champions (3-1), paced by All-America candidates Kora Wolters (18 points) and Jennifer Rizzotti (9 points, 7 assists) were too strong, outscoring Hawaii 11-1 in the final six minutes. Nani Cockett, who earned all-tournament first team honors along with Wolters and Rizzotti, scored 10 points to lead the Wahine (2-1). UH freshman Hedy Liu, a former University High star, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee just a minute after entering the game in the first half. She will be lost for the season. ** Winning Isn't Everything, says Wags ** "Are we an apple or an orange?" asked UH football coach Bob Wagner in reference to his football program. "When we win, we're an apple like everyone else. But when we lose and attendance is down, all of a sudden we're an orange. There are differences." Wagner's philosophizing came in response to questions about his job status as the UH football honcho. Using the winning-isn't- everything argument, Wagner pointed to his team's high graduation rate and relatively good off-field behavior as barometers for success. "All you can do is do your best...and whatever happens, happens," said Wagner, whose Bows close their 1995 season this Saturday night against Oklahoma State at Aloha Stadium. ** Salud Loses Title Tilt ** Former Nanakuli resident Jesus Salud lost a 12-round decision to Antonio Cermeno in a WBA junior featherweight title bout yesterday before about 8,000 fans at Caracas, Venezuela. Salud's strategy to crowd his taller opponent worked for the first half of the fight, but Cermeno rallied in the later rounds, opening a gash above Salud's right eye and withstanding a final-round barrage from the former-champion. ** Surfing News ** Pauline Menczer of Australia won the Roxy Women's Hawaiian Pro yesterday in 4- to 6-foot surf at Alii Beach Park in Haleiwa.

The Falcons finished at 6-2 in the WAC, earning a share of the conference championship with Colorado State, BYU, and Utah. Meanwhile, the Rainbows are lingering near the bottom of the WAC standings with a 2-6 league and 4-7 overall marks. Hawaii fought hard last night, actually outgaining the Falcons on offense 517 to 507. But the Rainbows could not stop Morgan (four rushing touchdowns) when they had to. "I give a lot of credit to my offensive line," said Morgan. "I had a lot of big holes and big seams. Credit those guys." Hawaii will close its season against Oklahoma State this Saturday at Aloha Stadium. ** Sumo Day 15 Results ** Wakanohana defeated his younger brother Takanohana to win the Fukuoka Grand Sumo Tournament last night.

Konishiki (Nanakuli's Salevaa Atisanoe) won to finish the tournament at 8-7. Earlier in the week, grand champion Akebono (Waimanalo's Chad Rowan) was forced to withdraw from competition because of a leg injury. ** Wahine, Kane Hoopsters in Finals ** The UH Wahine basketball team advanced to the championship game of the Wahine Classic with a 71-57 semifinal triumph over Baylor yesterday afternoon at the Special Events Arena.

A crowd of 29,129 watched the two teams trade the lead several times throughout the contest. But as has been the case in most Crusader games this season, quarterback Darnell Arceneaux ignited the top-ranked Saints when they needed a spark The 6-foot-3 senior completed 12 of 25 passes for 211 yards, throwing for two scores and running for a third. "The pressure is off," said Arceneaux. "We won and I can go home and sleep tonight." On the other hand, sleep may not come easy for the Red Raider players and their coach Doug Semones, who saw their best chance to beat the Saints fizzle. Kahuku, led by Jason Keo's 120 yards, amassed 241 yards on the ground against a tough Crusader defense. However, the Red Raiders were penalized 12 times for 126 yards, including a critical holding call that negated a touchdown. "I'm not gonna cry about the officiating," said an upset Semones.

They played like champions." ---- In the Prep Bowl preliminary game, Chris Paogofie rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns on offense and intercepted two passes on defense to lead fourth-ranked Waianae (8-3-1) to a 35-21 upset of second-ranked Punahou (11-3).

It was the final regular season match for the Wahine, who finished 29-0 and now await word about where they will play in the postseason. Last night, they had a determined Arizona team to contend with first. After splitting the first two games, the Wahine found themselves in danger of losing a second, falling behind 7-11 in game three. But behind the tough serving of Wilton and Joselyn Robins, Hawaii scored the final eight points of the game to win it, 15-11. Finding their confidence again, the Wahine blew out the Wildcats 15-2 in game four. "I was worried," said UH coach Dave Shoji. "I was frustrated; the team was frustrated. I just had to have faith in their ability to pull it out." ** Bow Men, Wahine Open Hoop Seasons Today ** The 1995-96 regular season coming-out parties for the UH men's and women's basketball teams are today.

The Crusaders (11-1), who have won ten straight ILH championships and nine consecutive Prep Bowl titles, had the stingiest defense in the ILH this season, allowing just 183.7 yards a game, and the league's best player in senior quarterback Darnell Arceneaux (1,800 yards in total offense and 20 TD passes). However, in the regular season the Crusaders did not face a team with such an array of offensive weapons as Kahuku, which averaged 550 total yards per contest. The Red Raiders have a huge offensive line (260 pounds average per player) and three running backs in Isaac Aalona, Ken Faavae, and Jason Keo who have rushed for over 100 yards in a game this season. "We'll be able to run on them," said Kahuku coach Doug Semones. "They've been playing passing teams all year. They haven't seen a running attack like we have." ** Sumo Day 13 Results ** Brothers Takanohana and Wakanohana both won yesterday and continue to share the lead of the Fukuoka Grand Sumo Tournament with 11-2 records.

"Hawaii is a strong at all positions," said the 49ers' lone senior Brita Schwerm, who was the lone bright spot for her team with 16 kills. "They've usually been a very nonchalant team and they have a more aggressive attitude now. It's a good team." Good indeed. Paced by the sure hands of setter Robyn Ah Mow (39 assists) and the strong arms of Angelica Ljungquist (13 kills), Therese Crawford (12), Joselyn Robins (11) and Jenny Wilton (10), the Wahine (26-0 overall and 17-0 in the Big West) made short work of Long Beach (18-8 and 12-5), who had defeated Hawaii in 13 of their last 15 meetings. The two teams will meet again tonight before another capacity crowd. ** Saints March to 10th Title ** Kekama Akana found Kelii Kaanoi in the corner of the end zone on a 7-yard halfback option pass with 37 seconds remaining to propel St. Louis to a heart-stopping 14-7 playoff victory over Punahou last night before a crowd of 9,114 at Aloha Stadium. With the win, the Crusaders captured their 10th consecutive Interscholastic League of Honolulu championship and a trip to next week's Oahu Prep Bowl for a meeting with Oahu Interscholastic Association champion Kahuku. Before the Saints' final 16-play, 77-yard march, which included two fourth-down conversions, the game was dominated by defense as both teams struggled to advance the football. "We had to fight like hell just to stay in it," said St. Louis coach Cal Lee. "Punahou played a helluva game." Said Punahou coach Dan Morrison: "My kids left their hearts out there tonight, just as I expected. Credit a talented group of St. Louis players and coaches." ** Sumo Day 6 Results ** Six wrestlers are tied for the lead of the Fukuoka Grand Sumo Tournament with 5-1 records.
