By Jerry Campany on October 5, 2013

Sometimes, that’s just the way the ball bounces. Campbell earned the West’s second seed in the OIA playoffs with a tight 18-14 win at home over Kapolei on Friday night, the kind of game in which every play matters. And in the regular-season finale, no plays meant more to Campbell than fumble recoveries. The Sabers got their first break early after stuffing Kapolei on fourth and goal from the 1. Quarterback Isaac Hurd moved Campbell out of trouble to the […]

By Billy Hull on October 4, 2013

No. 1 Punahou can make things easy by taking care of business Friday night at Aloha Stadium against No. 4 Saint Louis. The Crusaders can really mess things up with a win of their own.

When the whistle blows to end the latest edition of the Kahuku–Farrington rivalry on Thursday night at Aloha Stadium, the winner will almost certainly not have the last word. The two teams have played multiple times in four of the last five years, but will have to make a stand against a tough West team to meet each other in the playoffs. It is a familiar refrain this time around, as the Govs and the Red Raiders represent the top […]
