Athletic Scholarships Athletic scholarships are available for several high school sports for anyone seeking a college scholarship as a pathway to a post-high school education, and the best ones may vary depending on the college and the level of competition. Some of the most popular sports for college scholarships include:

Football – Football is one of the most popular sports in the United States and offers a large number of scholarships to talented high school players. However, due to its popularity there is more competition.

Basketball – is another popular sport that can offer high school players the chance to earn a college scholarship. As with football you will be competing heavily with many extremely talented athletes.

Baseball – is a popular sport that offers scholarships to talented high school players who can demonstrate their skills on the field.

Soccer – is no longer a growing sport in the United States, but one that is in high demand by parents for their youth. The large field of active athletes may present a challenge for high school players attempting to earn a ride on their athletic prowess alone.

Volleyball – is a popular sport for female athletes and can offer opportunities for scholarships to talented high school players.

Softball – is another sport that is popular among female athletes and offers opportunities for college scholarships.

Swimming – is a sport that requires a high level of skill and can provide opportunities for athletic scholarships to talented high school swimmers.

Track and Field – is a sport that offers a wide variety of events, and athletes who excel in their events have a great opportunity here.

Wrestling – is a sport that requires a high level of physical fitness. Talented and dedicated high school wrestlers have an a real opportunity here.

Cross Country – is a sport that requires endurance and can provide opportunities for college scholarships to talented high school runners.

It’s important to note that earning an athletic scholarship in a sport requires more than just talent. High school athletes also need to work hard to maintain their grades, prepare for college entrance exams, and promote themselves to college coaches.

King Kekaulike High School Wins in Five Sets

Fernandez records 22 kills in five-set victory over Sabers

KAHULUI – The race for second place is on in Maui Interscholastic League Division I girls volleyball.

King Kekaulike High School needed five sets, but outlasted Maui High in a battle between two of the three teams sharing the No. 2 spot in the standings entering Tuesday night, riding the performance of senior outside hitter Taylor Fernandez to a 25-22, 18-25, 18-25, 25-23, 15-12 win at the Sabers’ gym.

Fernandez had 22 kills – six in the final set – seven digs and two aces, helping Na Alii (3-3) remain in a tie for second place with Baldwin. Maui High (2-4) fell to fourth. Kamehameha Maui, undefeated in seven matches, is the eight-time defending MIL champion.

“Very close, it’s everybody’s game,” King Kekaulike coach Kapeka Vares said. “We’re always glad to just take one team at a time. We just don’t want to put so much expectations on us.”

Second place in the 12-match MIL regular season guarantees at least a playoff for a state berth. Fourth place means an extra night in the league tournament and possible date with the regular-season champion in the semifinal round.

“It’s a real battle right now, but it’s real important to grab at least second place for the tournament seeding,” Vares said after her team’s third five-set match of the season. “We’re just in the second round and it really is anybody’s game right now. We are lucky to have Baldwin, Maui High and Lahainaluna to bring the best out of us, that is just how it is.”

The Sabers took a 16-14 lead in the fourth set, but back-to-back kills by Fernandez tied the set for the ninth and final time, part of a 7-2 run culminated by Hiilei Mahuka-Kihewa’s kill. A kill by Fernandez ended the set.

In the fifth, Mahuka-Kihewa smacked a resounding kill for a 10-9 lead, and after the Sabers tied it, four Fernandez kills in a span of six points gave Na Alii a 14-12 advantage. A Maui High error ended the nearly two-hour match.

Kayla Uyesugi had six kills, three aces and three digs for King Kekaulike. Pua Borden had six kills, Mahuka-Kihewa had five kills and two digs and Sylvania Amor had five digs.

The Sabers, who have not been to the state tournament since 2006, were missing veteran Michelle Weckwerth, who was visiting her newborn niece in Washington state.

“This is a new team for me and all 18 have to play and just grow,” said first-year Maui High coach Lena Quilantang. “We don’t have any stars on the floor. We have a lot of returners, but no one like Taylor Fernandez – you can tell she is an experienced player.”
