Hussey leads by one at Ko Olina
Hans Hussey of Waialae Country Club opened the first round of the TaylorMade-adidas Golf PGA Assistant Professional Championship at the Ko Olina Golf Club with a 71 yesterday to take a one-shot lead over Shane Abe of the Oahu Country Club and Alva Wendland of the Waikoloa Kings' Course.

Hawaii picks up a spot in poll

The Rainbow Wahine won the Waikiki Beach Marriott Challenge last weekend and begin WAC play on Friday with a game against Idaho at the Stan Sheriff Center. Then, they host Boise State on Saturday.
Nebraska (7-0) remained in the top spot, followed by Stanford (7-0), Penn State (6-1), USC (8-0) and UCLA (7-1).
Kamehameha to be tested
No. 3 Punahou will be coming after Kamehameha's No. 1 ranking in the Star-Bulletin's prep volleyball poll.
But voters don't seem to think the Buffanblu have much of a shot of taking it when Punahou visits the Warriors today.
Kamehameha received all 13 first-place votes in the poll and have been No. 1 all season. No. 2 Iolani hosts St. Francis today.
Moanalua is the OIA's top team at No. 5.
