By Paul Honda on February 12, 2014

Pupule’s Top 10 ballot BKB 2/10/14 1. FAR (22-4) 2. MS (22-3) 3. IOL (17-7) 4. PUN (21-4) 5. KS (18-9) 6. BAL (19-3) 7. HPA (15-3) 8. KLH (24-7) 9. KON (19-4) 10. STF (17-11) First, a disclaimer. My ballot is not scientific. I use head-to-head play as a primary criteria, but after Team A beats Team B which beats Team C, then Team C beats Team A… well, it becomes a bunch of guesses. So, if you have […]

Roundball wrap 2/8

By Paul Honda on February 8, 2014

What a day and night it’s been here at good ol’ Neal Blaisdell Arena — and elsewhere — in the world of Hawaii girls high school basketball. Here, the D-I quartefinals doubleheader was a mixed bag. King Kekaulike was out of gas in its 62-34 loss to No. 3 seed Punahou. King K played with energy and verve in its comeback win over Moanalua — Na Alii rallied from a 17-point deficit — on Friday. Tonight, it was all Punahou […]

The junior is one of the more intriguing athletes in the state, a 6-foot-2, 310-pound athlete with raw strength and nimble feet. He shows that unique agility on the basketball court for the […]

Referees have feelings, too

By Paul Honda on January 29, 2014

I was 16 when I was asked to coach my little brother’s 12-under team at Boys Club of Honolulu (now known as Boys and Girls Club of Honolulu). That was fun. Strange, different and fun. A few years later, while I was in college, a friend who coached in the ILH asked me to help as a referee in the summer intermediate league. I had no experience, but I knew the rules well enough. That got me to the title […]

LIVE BLOG: #1 Punahou at #7 Kamehameha

By Paul Honda on January 24, 2014

Punahou 10, Kamehameha 8, end Q1 Both teams applying tight defensive pressure. Kamehameha using a 2-1-2 halfcourt press, not real tight but enough to slow Punahou’s fastbreak. Punahou 23, Kamehameha 20, halftime The Buffablu got nice shooting from Dayson Watanabe to open a 10-point lead, but let it slip. Kamehameha’s patient halfcourt offense is making Punahou’s man defense work. Noa Kinimaka sank a 23-foot trey from the top just before the half. Kamehameha 39, Punahou 34, end Q3 Strong defensive […]
