Amosa has never lost to the Surfriders, instantly ending Kailua’s five game winning streak when he took over. How much of a […]

One […]

The multi-talented Laie resident did not mention if he will go on an two-year […]
Two time Star-Advertiser first teamer Solomon Matautia is staying home. Matautia, a safety from Campbell, switched from Oregon State to Hawaii according to his Twitter account. Here is a snippet from the Star-Advertiser’s Stephen Tsai from his story in tomorrow’s paper: The past June, Matautia made an oral commitment to play for Oregon State.
