Yale and Harvard aren’t just on the wish list of Saint Louis senior Isaac Silva. Those are among several schools the football and basketball player has sent applications to, and with a 4.3 grade-point average, Silva knows his dream could be realized. There are also schools on the West Coast, mostly smaller, that are burgeoning opportunities. There’s also Washington and UCLA. One way or another, he plans on continuing with football, where he was third in receptions for the Open […]

The opportunity to split the top of the ILH boys basketball was there for Maryknoll. Instead, No. 1 Kamehameha made all the clutch plays down the stretch in a 49-41 win over No. 2 Maryknoll on Saturday afternoon. “This (lead) is as big as it’s going to get, probably. We’ve got four games next week,” Kamehameha coach Larry Park said. “We talked before about the game about having confidence and being the more mature team. Maryknoll is a great team, […]

Last summer, there was a bit of a tug-of-war over Kordel Ng. Coming off an All-State Fab 15 season, the sky walking junior was in search of a new school after St. Francis closed its doors.

While the ILH sorts itself out through its gigantic pendulum and gauntlet, Kahuku is soaring high in the OIA East. The Red Raiders made a massive jump in today’s Star-Advertiser Boys Basketball Top 10, moving from No. 10 to No. 4 after upsetting then-No. 3 Kalaheo last week.

Watching the Maryknoll Spartans is a lesson in checkbox execution. Again, No. 2 Maryknoll checked enough of those prime-time, clutch-play boxes to wiggle out a 39-35 win over Saint Louis on Saturday afternoon at Clarence T.C. Ching Gymnasium. Liko Soares continued his stellar scoring with 15 points, including 5-for-6 at the free-throw line, to spark the Spartans. Maryknoll improved to 6-1 in ILH play (22-2 overall) with another methodical, walking-on-eggs battle for either team. Spartans coach Kelly Grant wasn’t impressed. […]

In a game of giants, Reggie Eiland knew his place: right in the thick of traffic. The 5-foot-10 senior came up with a key defensive play down the stretch as No. 2 Maryknoll closed the game with a 7-3 run for a 44-40 win over No. 5 Damien on Thursday night at Bishop Scanlan Gymnasium. The game was 40-39, in favor of the visiting Spartans, when Damien’s 6-5 Tino Atonio went to the low post to work on a potential […]
