Aided with wins against six-time defending state champion Kamehameha, Punahou jumped 11 notches to No. 9 in the PrepVolleyball.com's first in-season top 100 national rankings, the website announced Thursday.

The Warriors (2-1), whose only loss is to the Buffanblu (4-0), are ranked 16th. Punahou also beat Kamehameha in a Warriors'-hosted preseason tournament.

Punahou was ranked 20th in the preseason rankings, while Kamehameha was 15th.

They were the only Hawaii teams in the top 100.
