The Bulldogs turned in one of their strongest matches of the season, sweeping Pearl City to clinch the title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll never forget for the rest of my life and all the hard work that we\u2019ve done,\u201d said senior outside hitter Jake Heidsieck. \u201cCame to this moment and we finally got it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Makana Wade said, \u201cI was just so happy for them. Like I said, they\u2019ve been so close for so many years, and for these guys to just be able to end on that note, I just can\u2019t think of a better way for it to end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 21 years old, Wade is only a few years older than his players. <\/p>\n<p>Despite coming on board right before the start of the season, Wade earned the trust of his team almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiimovinginsider.com\/?p=354\">Pearl Harbor to host free Memorial Day weekend events<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we had tryouts, couple of practices and then were already playing in a preseason tournament,\u201d said Wade.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>This is Wade\u2019s first gig as a head coach, though he\u2019s learned from the best.

He\u2019s been around the game for years and years and years and it\u2019s just amazing we have his legacy with us, the Wade legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a week filled with championships for the Wade ohana.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Makana Wade\u2019s victory came days after dad and younger brother, Kainoa, won a national championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery thankful and a very surreal experience.
