By Billy Hull on October 14, 2013

The Mililani girls volleyball team has earned the respect of voters in the Star-Advertiser Top 10, who have moved the Trojans up to No. 4 in this week’s poll due out Tuesday morning. That’s what winning 11 consecutive matches and 23 straight sets will do. However, this is the week we will find out just how good this Mililani team really is. The Trojans are the only team from the West playing in Tuesday night’s OIA Red “semifinals” at McKinley, […]

By Hawaii Prep World on October 14, 2013

The OIA White’s football playoffs are set, with the first two games scheduled for Friday night. Fourth-seeded Radford heads to top-seeded Kaiser, and while the Rams are away, No. 2 seed Kalani and No. 3 seed Pearl City will be using their field. Both games follow 5 p.m. junior varsity games. Pearl City’s 7-6 victory over Radford in the regular-season finale on Friday night caused a three-way tie for second place in the conference between the Chargers, Rams and Falcons. […]

More than just for kicks

By Jerry Campany on October 14, 2013

Last week, when Kapolei’s Paige Mahuka punched though a PAT in a win over Kailua, the senior joined a very select club. Mahuka became one of only 16 girls to score a point in a high school football game on Oahu, according to Dan Cisco’s “Hawai’i Sports: History, Facts, and Statistics” and a running list since the book was published. Mahuka and the Hurricanes play host Farrington at Roosevelt in an OIA playoff game on Friday, and Kapolei coach Darren […]

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 13, 2013

Moanalua’s season ended with a 54-17 loss to Leilehua on Friday night, also capping a record-breaking senior season for quarterback Micah Kaneshiro. Kaneshiro completed 28 of 46 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in his final game for Na Menehune. Pressed into duty early in his junior year, the 5-foot-7, 170-pounder finished his senior year with 2,719 yards and 25 touchdowns against six interceptions. “I just told him I appreciate him and how much he’s grown so much from […]

Kailua goes out on a high note

By Jerry Campany on October 13, 2013

Kailua coach Gary Rosolowich might have a hard time getting his kids to turn in their pads this year. The Surfiders wrapped up a disappointing season with the rally of a lifetime in the fourth quarter of their 42-24 playoff loss at Kapolei on Friday night. The Surfriders closed out their third straight losing season with a 2-7 record. “We just told the kids to keep on going,” Rosolowich said. “We wanted them to change the reality on the field […]

Quintero provides inspiration for Leilehua

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 12, 2013

Even while sitting in a wheelchair, Bryan Quintero might have been trying to devise a way onto the field Friday night. Quintero, a Leilehua senior, recently had surgery to insert a metal rod in his lower leg and returned to the sideline for the Mules’ OIA Red playoff game against Moanalua. He watched the proceedings wearing his jersey and shoulder pads as Leilehua rolled to a 54-17 win to advance to the quarterfinals. “I think he was trying to wheel […]

Kapolei can catch it

By Jerry Campany on October 12, 2013

Kapolei can run the ball, that is no secret. But heading into its playoff game against Farrington, it showed it can throw it a little bit, too. Quarterback Aizon Kahana passed for 203 yards in the Hurricanes’ 42-27 win over Kailua in the first round of the OIA playoffs on Friday, just his second game with more than 200 yards passing this season. That he did it is enough to make Governors coach Randall Okimoto sit up and take notice. […]
