Rivalry week: Cane Knife Classic

By Jerry Campany on September 25, 2013

Campbell football coach Amosa Amosa knows that you win some and you lose some. But one thing he has never lost is the perpetual trophy given out to the winner of the Waipahu-Campbell rivalry. The winner of the football game between the sugar communities has been awarded the Cane Knife since 1963. Waipahu has come for the Cane Knife three times since Amosa has been the head coach at Campbell, and all three times the former UH offensive lineman has […]

Video: #6 Campbell at #4 Mililani

By Paul Honda on September 23, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 The Sabers arrived ready and able to play, jumping to a 21-7 lead by halftime. Solomon Matautia’s 100-yard interception return jolted the Trojans with 5.3 seconds left in the half. The second half, however, was an entirely different story. Mililani scored 35 points and shut down Campbell’s potent offense. The Trojans remain unbeaten in OIA Red West play.

Update: Mililani 42, Campbell 21, final

6:10 p.m. Isaac Hurd scores on a 1-yard sneak. PAT partially blocked, no good. Campbell 6, Mililani 0, 7:24, first quarter. This came after a interception by the Sabers. 6:25 p.m. First play after a fumble by Vavae Malepeai, a 57-yard play-action bomb from Isaac Hurd to Jayce Bantolina. What a fake. Threw me and my video camera off a bit. Sabers go for 2, hit the pass to Austin May from the backup QB (#15). 14-0, 5:53, first quarter. […]


Pupule’s ballot: Guess who at No. 2

By Paul Honda on September 19, 2013

Still some video to edit, but I’m squeezing this in. For the first time in weeks, we have virtually no debate about who is No. 1 in the islands. But I can’t help wondering just a bit about how good Mililani really is. They gave Punahou a serious battle in Week 2, a closer game than Kamehameha gave the Buffanblu. Even Lahainaluna, despite its lack of strength of schedule, has been impressive defensively. A dominant rushing attack. A dominant defense. […]

How high can Campbell’s Hurd go?

By Jerry Campany on September 19, 2013

Campbell’s quarterback is on the verge of the unheard of. Isaac Hurd takes the No. 6 Sabers to Mililani to face the No. 4 Trojans on Saturday in an OIA West showdown. For Miliani’s tough defense, the task is simple. Contain Hurd, and you have a good shot. Let him run and throw at will, and it might be a long night. Hurd not only has led Campbell in passing in each game this year but also has led the […]

Video: #6 Waianae at #8 Campbell

By Paul Honda on September 17, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Waianae played well, played better than Campbell for more than a half. But the Sabers never quit. They clawing and clawing until they got the biggest break of the game.

Update: Campbell 32, Waianae 24, final

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2013

4:58 p.m. Nothing like beating traffic and getting situated early. The old pressbox at Campbell is open after a one-year hiatus. Always good for old reporters to take cover in case the rain falls. That would mess up the notebook, laptop and video camera. Expecting a good battle between No. 6 Waianae and No. 8 Campbell. Two savvy, talented and mobile quarterbacks against stellar defenses. Varsity kickoff is in about two-plus hours. 7:34 p.m. Final score of the JV game […]

Pupule’s ballot: Still 1a and 1b

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2013

This may seem manic or chaotic or just wishy-washy, but here goes. I voted Kamehameha No. 1 on my ballot for the Star-Advertiser Prep Football Top 10 this week. Yet, I expect Punahou to win on a last-minute field goal against the Warriors tonight. Say whuhhh… It’s like this. The Warriors, my opinion, have proven to be worth of the top spot by virtue of five wins, almost all against elite competition. Punahou deserves the spot, too, but until we […]
