Welcome to the Moanalua ‘resort’

Plush! Moanalua fans and visitors will get a chance to enjoy the fresh, newly renovated restrooms at the school’s gym this winter. See photos below.

Basketball Top 10 Polls: Art vs. Science

Our first Top 10 polls for high school basketball are out and it’s a buffet, to say the least. My vantage point is always a mixed bag. I may see a few more games than most fans, but having more information cuts the other way, too. There’s no way I can see every game, even [...]

Then there were two

The long shots have bowed out gracefully. • AOP, with its hearty leader (Micah Dunhour) and stalwart role players, was amazing for two nights. But the cumulative effect of those difficult wins over Roosevelt and Moanalua took a toll. Kamehameha was simply too fresh, too accurate and too good last night. • Kamehameha-Hawaii has the [...]
