No. 1 Kamehameha takes its game to Nevada

By Jerry Campany on September 18, 2013

First the ILH, now it is time to take on the rest of the nation. The Kamehameha girls volleyball team is taking a trip to Las Vegas this weekend to play in the Durango Fall Classic, a collection of the best schools from around the United States and Canada. The Warriors made the same trip last year and reached the final bracket before losing all three matches on the final day. When the Warriors came home and licked their wounds, […]

Afalava thinks he’ll return sooner

By Billy Hull on September 15, 2013

Soli Afalava thinks he might be playing when the Kahuku football team plays McKinley in an OIA Red East matchup on Friday. It may or may not be wishful thinking, and it depends on who you talk to on how long the Kahuku sophomore running back will be out of action. Afalava, who has rushed for 363 yards and three touchdowns in four games for the Red Raiders (3-2, 3-0), tore ligaments in his shoulder against Moanalua on Sept. 7, according […]

Kaiser, Kalani set records

By Billy Hull on September 14, 2013

The quality of football on Oahu’s East side has increased dramatically in the last two years with former UH coaches Rich Miano at Kaiser and both Ron and Cal Lee handling coordinator duties under Greg Taguchi at Kalani. Friday night, the two schools put up a record number of points in big wins. Over at Kaiser Stadium, the Cougars atoned for their stunning loss to Nanakuli in the semifinals of last year’s OIA White playoffs with a 70-20 blowout of […]


From the NFL to the ILH

By Dave Reardon on September 14, 2013

An interesting sidebar to tonight’s big game is that both head coaches are former NFL players. Punahou’s Kale Ane was a center who specialized in long-snapping for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1975 to 1980 and with the Green Bay Packers in 1981. Kamehameha’s Doug Cosbie played tight end for the Dallas Cowboys from 1979 to 1988. Ane doesn’t recall matching wits as a head coach previously against a fellow NFL alumnus. “I think I came back to Punahou after […]

Governors get back to what works

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 12, 2013

It took a little while for Farrington’s running game to find some traction this season before Sanele Lavatai and Vimoto Fuimaono broke loose for dual 100-yard games last week. Lavatai went for 157 yards and three touchdowns and Fuimaono finished with 110 yards on just seven carries in a 31-14 win over Kailua. The accomplishment had become relatively commonplace last year when Tyler Taumua and Abraham Silva both powered past the century mark in five games: Kaimuki—Silva 176, Taumua 115. […]

Leilehua looks to bounce back this week

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 12, 2013

Losing streaks don’t come often at Leilehua. Coming into this season, the Mules are 15-6 in games following a loss during Nolan Tokuda’s eight years as Leilehua’s head coach (not counting 2011, when Mark Kurisu served as interim head coach). Last year, Leilehua rebounded from a loss to Aiea with a 47-0 win at Kapolei. The Mules later narrowly avoided dropping consecutive games when they followed an overtime loss to Campbell with an overtime win over Waipahu. Leilehua’s resilience will […]

Seariders no stranger to Ewa Beach

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 11, 2013

The road to Ewa Beach has become quite familiar for the Waianae football team. The sixth-ranked Seariders will board the bus again on Friday for an OIA Red West game at No. 8 Campbell, the third straight meeting in the series to be played on the Sabers’ home field. Waianae (4-1, 2-1 OIA Red West) played all of its games on the road last year while the school’s bleachers were renovated, though the Seariders were the designated home team in a […]

Kamehameha’s Kahookele up against it

By Jerry Campany on September 11, 2013

If Kamehameha running back Brandon Kahookele wants to walk out of Aloha Stadium a winner on Saturday, he might want to take a trip up to Manoa to get a little advice from former Kahuku standout Aofaga Wily. Punahou’s defense has allowed a rusher to top 100 yards only six times since 2010, and Wily has done it to them three of those times. Even better for Kahookele and the bruisers in front of him, Kahuku won all three. No. […]
