Crusader coach trained, prepared

It was a fun night, a fundraiser event for a friend’s organization, and Darnell Arceneaux was kicking back. There was live music and the singing was nice. Then the lead singer collapsed on stage. There was commotion. There was panic. Arceneaux, the head football coach at Saint Louis, had already been trained for this. Coaches [...]

Funky finish by MPI sprinter

Normally, high school sports videos here on Hawaii Prep World are shot by our staff at the Star-Advertiser. Actually, they’re shot and edited by me, yours pupule. But this clip showed up on Yahoo Sports Minute. It’s a Mid-Pacific track athlete — from the intermediate school, not the high school as Yahoo’s host says — [...]

All-State boys hoops: Bonus

(More on the All-State Fab 15 selections that were published in Sunday’s Star-Advertiser.) DeForest Buckner wasn’t surprised by the coaches and media’s selection of Punahou’s Darren Matsuda as all-state coach of the year. “He’s the same, still using some plays we had in club basketball (Honolulu Sharks). That’s how we had a lot of success. [...]

Favorites: Raion Black, Mike Chin

A quick Q&A with Christian Academy track standouts Mike Chin and Raion Black. Together, they are the “dynamic duo,” as coach Rick Chin says. The feature story on the two Patriots ran in this morning’s Star-Advertiser. But here’s a little more. Bonus stuff. Because you are a devoted Hawaii Prep World reader and we love [...]

Punahou-Kamehameha extended

(Here’s the extended version of last Tuesday’s Punahou-Kamehameha boys volleyball match story.) When in doubt, the Punahou Buffanblu waste little time trying to be cute.

The 6-foot-2 sophomore pounded 20 kills, including 11 of his team’s 16 in the opening set as No. 1 Punahou swept No. 4 Kamehameha 25-17, 25-20 before about [...]

MPI-Punahou baseball (extended)

      (Here’s the extended version of the Mid-Pacific/Punahou baseball game story.) Dunn Muramaru rarely uses nicknames or superlatives when it comes to his Mid-Pacific baseball players. But in the longtime coach’s eyes, Travis Garcia-Perreira is simply “the bulldog.” The senior went the distance, throwing 114 pitches while striking out six as No. 1 [...]

More post-match: Punahou volleyball

  (Some extra info following last night’s Punahou-Maryknoll boys volleyball match. See the game story here.) Punahou’s Larry “Tui” Tuileta and Micah Ma‘a may be the best hitter-setter duo in the state, even at their young ages.  “We’ve played beach together, Outrigger (Canoe Club) together. The connection is there,” said the springy Tuileta, who watches [...]

MPI-Punahou softball (extended)

  (Here’s the long version of this morning’s report on Mid-Pacific’s 3-2 win over Punahou yesterday in high school softball. The original was cut due to limited space in this morning’s edition of the Star-Advertiser.) It took an extended effort and a moment of Joy for the defending state champions to stay unbeaten yesterday. Jordan [...]

Pearl City-Mililani game story (extended)

    (Here’s the full version of yesterday’s game story on Pearl City and Mililani. Quite a good game, indeed. The original version ran Friday morning with limited space.)
