Updates from Tuesday’s games at Na Menehune Holiday Classic at Moanalua High School gym. 10:49 p.m. St. Joseph 70, No. 5 ‘Iolani 69, OT. Another great game that went back and forth.

Kahuku-Leilehua Update: Kahuku wins in 2 OTs, 13-10

Update 10:14 p.m. What a finish! Kahuku wins in double overtime, 13-10. The Mules had a chance to win in the first overtime, but Tim Momiyama’s 42-yard field-goal try was wide right. He nailed a 37-yarder in the second overtime, but Kahuku drove and won it on a 3-yard leap over the goal line by [...]

Baldwin-Punahou Update: Punahou 35, Baldwin 0, final

Update 7:04 p.m. All in all, a dominant performance by Punahou. Baldwin’s defense was tough, fast, physical, but the unit was on the field far too long as the offense struggled to cross midfield much of the night. Keelan Ewaliko was a bright spot, but he was chased by Punahou’s defense most of the way. [...]

Tyler Taumua Stat Ticker update

Oh yes, it’s that time again, ladies and germs, to elaborate and congratulate these fine football teams. Perhaps no compliment would be more apt than one to Tyler Taumua as we examine the Tyler Taumua Stat Ticker. It’s been a few weeks since we last examined the junior running back’s prolific numbers. With the Great [...]

Kaimi Fairbairn feature: extended version

(Wrote more than enough for the print edition. Here’s the uncut version.) In the beginning, there was basic, vanilla kicking of points after. He kicked the PATs, but preferred catching the football. Then came high school. Kaimi Fairbairn didn’t see much ahead in football, even at a program on the rise. He took a chance [...]
