MMililani’s Kaimana Souza-Paaluhi proved it can be done. The Trojans outfielder hit a deep home run over the right field fence against Pearl City in the first round of the Wally Yonamine Foundation / HHSAA State Baseball tournament at Les Murakami, the only ball hit out of the yard by a schoolboy this year. When Maryknoll and Aiea hook up in tonight’s Division II championship game and Campbell and Mid-Pacific follow, don’t expect to see a repeat of Souza-Paaluhi’s heroics. […]

‘Iolani is losing two spring sports coaches, according to athletic director Carl Schroers. Baseball coach Brent Shimokawa and softball coach Corey Okamura will not return for next season. “I am proud of both of them,” Schroers said. “They gave their heart and soul to a bunch of our students.

It wasn’t the smoothest of wins, but coach Rory Inouye was glad for his team, period. Waiakea’s bumpy road has been mostly on the upside, and Wednesday’s battle with Kailua, a 4-3 win in the opening round of the Wally Yonamine Foundation/HHSAA Baseball State Championships, was another test of the Warriors’ mettle.
