Wade’s name was removed from the USA Volleyball’s interim measure-suspension list over the weekend. His name was listed under “pending investigation” starting in September 2018 but, because no action was […]
The top-ranked Hawaii men’s volleyball team certainly looked legitimate at home playing against unranked competition. How will the Rainbow Warriors fare on the road against some ranked foes? That’s one of the big questions in UH athletics this week — UH plays four straight on the mainland, starting with two this weekend — but there’s also a pair of basketball doubleheaders at the Stan Sheriff Center (Thursday and Saturday) to occupy your time. The Rainbow Warriors and Wahine hoops squads are […]

As James Anastassiades made the rounds of the Stan Sheriff Center lower bowl, greeting fans and well-wishers, he cradled something tight. It was the Raising Cane’s Rainbow Warrior Classic championship trophy, and a symbol of a special night personally. Anastassiades, the consummate supporting teammate for the better part of his five-year UH career, got a rare turn in the spotlight Saturday. Go-to senior hitter Colton Cowell, who appeared dressed and ready to play, was scratched after suffering an apparent injury […]

It probably should’ve been a kill. It sure looked like it was about to be one from press row. Then Colton Cowell dove headlong over the courtside barrier and popped the shanked ball back into play. UH managed to toss it back over the net on the third touch and somehow wound up winning the point. The player Cowell and Hawaii deprived of a kill? That would be Cowell’s old King Kekaulike High School teammate, Don Thompson, now an Emmanuel […]
