Van Cantfort proved pivotal in upset for Raiders; Williams bided her time for Warriors




Tyler Van Cantfort

Iolani volleyball  •   #2  S/OH  Senior

A lot was put onto the shoulders of Tyler Van Cantfort this prep volleyball season. 

With the first round of the Interscholastic League of Honolulu schedule winding down this week, it's safe to say that the senior setter has proven his worth for the fourth-ranked Iolani Raiders. 

"He's a fiery competitor," Iolani coach Jordan Inafuku said of the 6-foot-2 Van Cantfort. 

"He's a leader and he's a very smart volleyball player. The offense is pretty tough to manage. He has to set a lot of different people, a lot of different sets that our hitters hit at different positions on the net at different tempos, so he has to understand how to set each person three, or four, or five different sets and he has to manage that over the course of the match and set the offense throughout the course of the match," Inafuku elaborated. 

The Raiders recorded an upset by any measure Friday night, when they turned back then-No. 1 Punahou in a sweep before a spirited crowd on senior night at Iolani's Lower Gymnasium. Van Cantfort tallied tallied 25 assists, along with four digs and four kills. He was also in on three blocks in the 25-15, 25-13, 25-21 win over the nine-time defending Division I state champion Buffanblu. 

Inafuku noted that it was the Raiders' first home win over Punahou since 2002. 

"Twenty-one years. I think I was in the eighth grade," Inafuku laughed. "Kawika Shoji was a freshman and it was still sideout scoring."

Inafuku's squad also avenged a heart-breaking loss in five sets to the Buffanblu at Hemmeter Fieldhouse in the ILH opener back on March 7th. 

"It was nice to see our growth and us be able to handle the circumstance of pressure and competition, because even though the first (meeting against Punahou) was close, we didn't play up to our capability," Inafuku said. 

Five different players recorded at least nine attempts and each put down at least four kills, led by Casey Lyons' nine kills on 19 swings (.421 attack percentage). Iolani hit .273 as a team, to Punahou's .118 and also had 5.5 team blocks to two for the visitors. 

"He did a very nice job of setting up our hitters to be successful. A lot is dependent on him to create some space for them and then out hitters' job once they receive that space, they've gotta deliver, but a lot of it is on Tyler's shoulders to make sure that it's there for them," Inafuku said. 

He added that statistics don't reveal how much of a presence Van Cantfort provided on the court for his teammates in the midst of a raucous atmosphere. 

"I think more than the (set) distribution, he kept his team calm. It was a passionate night, it's senior night, it's a full gym, there's a lot of feelings but he kept us focused and helped us to execute even though the intensity was high," Inafuku shared.

The win kept the Raiders in the mix for a most-coveted first-place finish in the final ILH first round standings, which brings with it one of the league's two spots in the Division I state tournament next month. However, Iolani fell out of contention for that automatic berth as a result of Monday night's pulsating five-set loss to Kamehameha at Kekuhaupio Gymnasium. 

"We're very proud of them," Inafuku said of his bunch, who will have go through the ILH second round (double-elimination tournament) to punch their ticket to states. 

"We're hoping we can play better, but we're so proud of the way that they handled adversity and they were very tough throughout the match and they kept coming back, kept coming back, kept coming back and in that sense, Tyler's a very integral part of that, keeping us focused, yet still fiery and competitive," Inafuku added. 

The Warriors rallied behind 6-foot-8 sophomore opposite Kyler Wade, who put down 46 kills, to a 25-18, 23-25, 32-34, 25-14, 16-14 win over the Raiders. 

While Kamehameha has a budding superstar in Wade, Punahou a proven commodity in U19 National Team outside hitter Kahale Clini and Moanalua it's trio of one-and-done transfers with one foot already seemingly in Manoa, Inafuku — by his own admission — doesn't have the luxury of that level of blue-chip talent on his roster. 

"We don't have a Wade, or Clini, or any of the Moanalua hitters, so it's really for us, up to compete and I think we've competed well and Tyler has to be very good to set the offense because we have a lot of good players, but he has to create the space for them to hit though and the passers have to give him a good ball to start," Inafuku said. 

Van Cantfort first joined the varsity team as a sophomore. He cracked the starting lineup the following year, when the Raiders operated a 6-2 offense; Van Cantfort shared setting duties with Colby Fournier. This season, however, Fournier transitioned into a full-time outside hitter, while Van Cantfort worked to hone his craft as the lone setter in a 5-1 look. 

"It's a lot different because when you're setting in a six-two, you're responsible for three rotations and half the game," Inafuku said. "He's now responsible to be a very good blocker and he's got to be offensive at the net, he's got to set more of the offense and set the back row and get everyone involved with that. It's a different role; He hasn't set a five-one in his life, so it's a different role for him, but he's grown tremendously as a person and a leader and certainly as a volleyball player."

Van Cantfort has continued to show improvement as the season has progressed. His development proved to be expedited, in part due to his decision to forgo his senior season of basketball during the winter. 

"We have multiple players on our team who play multiple sports, so we think that it's helpful and we support them as much as possible with whatever they want to do with their extracurricular activities. We think we earn a lot from that, but for Tyler it was the right decision for him and I'm glad that he's taken advantage of that decision and made the most of the volleyball season. It was definitely a sacrifice for him. Our team is a lot of sacrifice for one another, that's how we show that we love one another, so we appreciate it a lot and I'm glad he's benefitted from it," Inafuku expressed. 

It's been a thrilling season to-date in the ILH, where four of the five teams in Division I have held firmly among the top five in the ScoringLive Power Rankings all year. 

Kamehameha ascended to No. 2 this week, while the Buffanblu fell two spots. Just behind the Raiders is Hawaii Baptist at No. 5. 

The whole league is very good. It's very exciting," Inafuku remarked. "It's pretty disappointing that only two of us get to go to the state tournament because the league is awesome."

Inafuku is hopeful that a rigorous non-conference schedule that included a trip to southern California and a runner-up finish to the aforementioned Na Menehune in their annual Hawaii Boys Volleyball Invitational will pay dividends come crunch time. 

"It's like getting to fast forward our growth and development maybe two weeks into three days of tournament," Inafuku remarked. "It's an exhausting tournament and a lot of hard work by everybody to make it happen, but the boys did a good job of soaking it al up and doing the best that they could." 

Inafuku lamented the fact that his team let a 14-11 lead in the third and deciding set slip away in the HBVI final. 

"We just couldn't quite put Moanalua away, but it was a good tournament and we worked out a lot of things competitively and mentally those three days," he said. "Just disappointed we couldn't win it."

The Raiders finished a program-best ninth in the prestigious Best of the West tournament earlier this year. Inafuku noted that two other teams from Hawaii also represented the 50th state well in Kamehameha (15th place) and Moanalua (third). 

"We had never had three Hawaii teams qualify for the gold bracket, which is the top 16," Inafuku said. 

As for Van Cantfort, when the Raiders conclude their season, he'll be through with his competitive volleyball career as well. Instead, he will focus his efforts into the world of academia. 

"He turned down a couple of opportunities. A number of our seniors have been recruited places, but they have some other priorities for their college choices," Inafuku remarked. 

Inafuku expects that Van Cantfort will bring his same fiery approach to the classroom. 

"He's a competitor. With us, he's learning every day and competing hard every day to get better and so he's gotten better and better and that's what's making him special right now, is that he keeps grabbing more levels of what he can do and that's really important for the team," Inafuku said. "He knows the team needs it and it's been very important for the team."

Van Cantfort and the Raiders (4-3) will conclude the ILH first round at Mid-Pacific Wednesday. First set is set for 6 p.m. at the Owls' Mills Gymnasium.

Daylee Williams

Kamehameha softball  •   #3  INF  Junior

Patience has paid off for Daylee Williams and the Kamehameha softball team. 

Williams, who goes by the nickname Mua, is on a tear for the Warriors this spring. The junior catcher has posted a .444 batting average with a team-leading 16 hits, including seven home runs and 22 runs batted in through her team's first 11 games in Interscholastic League of Honolulu play. 

The gaudy statistics are a byproduct of both her athletic ability and her work ethic, her coach says. 

"She's a very athletic looking kid — good size — you can tell she's strong and on top of that, she's got a terrific work ethic. She works just as hard, if not harder than anybody else. She takes a lot of pride in what she does and she works hard to make sure that she gets it right," Kamehameha coach Mark Lyman said of the 5-foot-8 Williams, a first-year starter.

This season has been a long time coming for Williams, who had to sit out her sophomore season after transferring from Maryknoll due to ILH rules. Williams first caught Lyman's eye as a slugging freshman for the Spartans two years ago, when she put together a .583 batting average.

"From then I knew she was a very good player," he recalled. "Then somebody told me she was going to transfer to Kamehameha and I was very, very excited about that."

Although Williams could not play in any games last year, she was able to practice with her new teammates. That's when Lyman got to see first-hand what the Waimanalo native is all about. 

"I watched her willingness to be a part of that team last year. It was killing her to sit on the side last year, but she did everything she could in practice — take extra reps in the cage, or on the field — whatever we asked her to do," Lyman stated. "She would be a bullpen catcher, shag balls in the outfield and she did it with gusto, but I couldn't wait to get her back on the field this year because I knew what type of player she was going to be."

Williams has certainly not disappointed Lyman with her play this season. She has hit safely in eight games, including six of her last seven games. Williams has reached base in every game and has helped Kamehameha to a .340 team batting average. Among all ILH players, Williams leads the league in both home runs and RBIs. 

"Any time she's up (to bat), there's always that possibility that something big can happen. When she's locked in, you just know that big things can happen. She goes up there with a quiet confidence and if she gets her pitch that she can hit, then she's got a chance of sending it far," Lyman said. 

She did just that against Mid-Pacific back on March 27th, when Williams belted a pair of home runs with four RBIs and three runs scored in a 12-2 win for Kamehameha that was called after five innings. It was the second straight game that the catcher hit two dingers; She batted 3 for 4 with two homers and eight runs batted in in a 15-9 win over Punahou on March 23rd. 

Although Williams has shown a penchant for the long ball. her approach at the plate is anything but to swing for the fences. 

"Whatever she needs to do to get on base, she'll do, she'll take it and that's kind of the driving thing for the team this year: pass it on to the next person. She's not out there trying to hit home runs — if it's not there, it's not there — but she's also smart enough to know that ‘my team needs me on base; let me get on base whatever way I can,' " Lyman said. 

Two days after the win over the Owls, Williams went hitless in an 0-for-3 effort against Maryknoll. It did little to dismay her, however, as the Warriors came away with an 11-2 win. Williams still managed to reach base in one of her four plate appearances when she was hit by a pitch. 

"It's just her attitude about everything, the way she looks at life, the way she looks at softball, the way she looks at her teammates — she just brings a good positive energy to everything. She's happy to see her teammates succeed and she's happy to succeed for them in any way she can. If she goes oh-for-four with an RBI or oh-for-three with three walks, if it helps her team win, she's happy with that," Lyman said. "She's always willing to work and that's the kind of attitude that can infiltrate a team. She's basically saying, ‘Just come along with me and we'll have a good time.' "

Williams restarted her hit track Friday in Kamehameha's 9-6 win over Punahou. She went 3 for 3 at the plate with another homer to go with three RBI and two runs scored. Williams also drew a season-high two walks for the Warriors, who extended their then-win streak to four games. 

Aside from her ability with a bat in her hands, Williams also provides a more-than-reliable backstop behind the plate. Furthermore, she can play multiple positions around the diamond and has stepped in at shortstop on a few occasions this spring. 

"She's a great athlete, so we can put her anywhere, but with her behind the plate it gives our pitchers a lot more confidence to know that she'll block or catch balls that other people might miss. She's just such a calming presence back there and our pitchers know they have the best catcher in the state and it helps. It also helps the defense because she's picked off runners stealing, she's back-picked runners off second and third and it just brings confidence for the whole team, not just the pitchers," Lyman explained. 

For as much as Lyman praised Williams's playing ability, he just as much pointed to her character as what makes her, the youngest of eight siblings, special. 

"It's just that whole family atmosphere and that sense of ‘Ohana, sense of belonging that she's able to bring with her onto the team and she's very approachable and just one of those people that makes everyone feel welcome," Lyman said. 

He went on, "She has fun with everybody and she doesn't think she's above anybody else. She's a sweetheart. Just a terrific kid, she really is; I just love her to death."

Williams gave a verbal commitment to the University of Georgia prior to the start of the prep season. Her campus visit coincided with the Bulldogs pulling off an upset over then-No. 1 Tennessee in a nationally-televised Southeastern Conference football game in early November. 

"That's a long way from but after she came back, she was like, ‘I want to be a part of this. This is unbelievable here,' " Lyman remarked. 

The Warriors moved up a spot to No. 4 in this week's ScoringLive Power Rankings, but came up a bit short in a one-run loss to third-ranked Iolani Monday afternoon. Lyman's team led, 9-4, after five innings, but saw the visitors rally with six runs over the final two frames to win it. For the Raiders, the victory clinched one of the ILH's two berths into next month's Division I state tournament. 

"We have to do well in the (ILH) tournament to make our way into states now," Lyman said. "We're plugging along, trying to make it happen here."

Williams and the Warriors (7-4) close out the first round against Mid-Pacific Saturday. First pitch at Kamehameha is set for 2 p.m. 

The ILH second round (double-elimination tournament) gets underway on Monday.
