By Brian McInnis on November 24, 2019

LAHAINA >> Roosevelt resolved that Lahainaluna would not be the be-all, end-all to its season for a second year in a row. Unfortunately for the Rough Riders, that’s exactly what happened on Saturday night at the Lunas’ Sue D. Cooley Stadium in a 35-0 loss to the three-time defending HHSAA Division II champions. Kui Kahooilihala’s team came in riding high on a 31-7 road win at Kamehameha-Hawaii in the first round. But when the Riders lost fumbles on their first […]

By Brian McInnis on November 24, 2019

The Lahainaluna offense put up the points, sure, and star running back Joshua Tihada added more state-tournament records to his impressive haul. But it was the Lunas’ defense that set the tone in a 35-0 blanking of Roosevelt on Saturday night in a HHSAA Division II semifinal at Sue D. Cooley Stadium, and the Lunas’ offensive stars were more than happy to give them the plaudits. Tihada, who had 27 carries for 162 yards and a touchdown, now owns the […]

By Brian McInnis on October 27, 2019

Any moments of offensive rhythm between Mililani and Kahuku on Saturday night were like visits from a long-lost friend who couldn’t stay around to chat and catch up. Kahuku got the better of a rock fight at Aloha Stadium, prevailing 7-3 to claim its 27th OIA championship and deny Mililani a repeat Open Division title and a fifth overall under coach Rod York.

By Brian McInnis on September 28, 2019

All eyes were on Kyler Dicion. The Waialua quarterback had already put together the finest passing game of his career — three touchdowns, no interceptions and 283 yards in the air in the Bulldogs’ 49-14 homecoming/senior night victory over McKinley. But this moment was important. He wanted to nail it. And he did. Dicion, the first up of a dozen Waialua seniors during postgame ceremonies, shredded the Bulldogs’ traditional “senior agility test” put on by coach Lincoln Barit and his staff. […]
