KCS News & Happenings

The 2025 boys' volleyball team accomplished a historic feat for KCS on October 4, winning the school's first volleyball championship since the start of its high school program in 2012. During the HSF postseason tournament weekend, a loyal and energetic crowd of alumni, students, family, friends, and staff enjoyed two exciting games of high-level volleyball, cheering the team along with every point.

Entering the tournament as the #3 seed with an 8-4 record, KCS played Friendship Christian School in Friday's semifinal matchup. Utilizing a productive week of practice to make strategic adjustments for the postseason, the boys overcame three regular-season losses to Friendship to win in straight sets, 25-20, 25-13. This set up a rematch of last year's championship game, as KCS faced Calvary Chapel Christian School, the 5-time reigning champs. Driven by the desire to redeem last year's loss, the team made key defensive plays and ran a balanced offense to finally claim the championship title, 20-25, 25-22, 18-16.

Reflecting on their journey to first place, co-captain Tytus Ahn '26 says he is most proud of their team chemistry this year, stating, "My teammates [are] like another family to me." The team's reliance on one another and their ability to look out for each other carried them through a rollercoaster third set on Saturday. As KCS faced Calvary serving for the game, Tytus credits staying mentally strong and maintaining the mindset of making every point count as the keys to overcoming the deficit. The team elevated their play to win the final few points, thus sealing their legacy in KCS history.

Congratulations again to our boys' team and coaches Dr. Kwong and Zachary Kao '22 for a memorable season, highlighted by home games at Kilauea District Park, a K-12th grade pep rally, Senior Night, and our very own KCS hype song.
