Alegre: Warriors, Govs, Rams, Puns win

By Paul Honda on December 3, 2010

(Lack of space in this morning’s print edition, so here’s the extended version of the James Alegre Invitational roundup, day 1.) Micah Christenson is a dream come true for the Kamehameha Warriors. His fantasy-like stat line — 26 points, 13 rebounds, five blocks and five steals — powered Kamehameha in a 71-57 win over Kailua last night in the opening round of the James Alegre Classic at Radford High School. Kamehameha improved to 2-0 in nonconference play and will meet […]

Kamehameha rallies past Moanalua 65-54

By Jerry Campany on November 28, 2010

. (Limited space in today’s print edition, so here’s the full version of the game story.) Micah Christenson isn’t happy at all, but after a 22-point, 15-rebound effort on an off night, the Kamehameha Warriors won’t fret. Christenson missed his first five shots and didn’t grab a rebound in the first quarter, but warmed up and led Kamehameha to a 65-54 comeback win over Moanalua last night before a spirited crowd of about 400 at Kekuhaupi‘o Gym. Dyrbe Enos tallied […]

Matsuda offers more than stability to Punahou

By Jerry Campany on July 21, 2010

It’s not just about stability. When Punahou hired Darren Matsuda to guide its boys basketball program on Friday, it was about reaching the pinnacle. The program now has its fourth coach in six years — astounding turnover for any team, let alone one at the No. 1-rated athletic department in the nation. But hiring within means the pipeline to Punahou will likely continue. Matsuda engineered one of the top basketball clubs in the state, the Sharks. Only the Raiders, a […]

Chun: ‘D-III will happen one day’

By Paul Honda on June 13, 2010

Fiscal responsibility is utmost in Chris Chun’s mind. The attorney-turned-executive director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association made it through the busy spring season and this week’s athletic directors conference with renewed energy. He’s got little time to digest the proposals that passed the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Directors Association conference before they go up for vote before the HHSAA’s executive board on Monday morning. Without the HHSAA’s approval, no HIADA proposal is enacted. It’s happened often times before: three […]

MIL, BIIF spoke loud and clear

By Paul Honda on June 13, 2010

The groundswell had been building, all right. So had the ammunition. The Maui Interscholastic League and Big Island Interscholastic Federation were outnumbered, but not outgunned when discussion on the open floor ensued on Friday, the final day of the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Directors Association conference. The cool air-conditioning of the ballroom at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Hotel belied the intensity of thoughts and exchange on a few issues. The load wasn’t large; several battles offered by the neighbor islands were […]
