Mid-Pacific gets new boys basketball coach

By Curtis Murayama on September 9, 2013

Young hoops fans know of Jrue Holiday, a star point guard formerly of the Philadelphia 76ers and now with the New Orleans Pelicans. Not many of them, though, know of his uncle, Dwight Holiday. Dwight Holiday, who was hired by Mid-Pacific Institute to be its boys basketball coach, was a member of one of the most popular teams in Hawaii history — a University of Hawaii basketball team known as the Fabulous Five. Holiday was a starting shooting guard on the […]

Kamehameha’s Kaahanui officially back

By Jerry Campany on September 9, 2013

The last time Kamehameha’s Davis Kaahanui approached the starting line at a cross country meet, he dusted a field of Hawaii’s best runners by more than 30 seconds last October. The next time he toed the line, he might have been even more impressive. Kaahanui finished second in the Honolulu Marathon/Kaiser Invitational cross country meet on Saturday, beating all Hawaii competition but losing to Jackson Marshall of Woodbridge (Calif.) by 12 seconds. That’s OK, though, Kaahanui was just happy to […]

Punahou-Kamehameha a pivotal game

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 9, 2013

Punahou didn’t wait very long after Saturday’s win over Damien to start preparing for a matchup with second-ranked Kamehameha. “We’re watching film right now,” quarterback Larry Tuileta said before heading to the locker room following the 48-0 victory at Alexander Field. Punahou (3-0, 1-0 ILH) edged Kamehameha (5-0, 2-0) by a single point for the top spot in last week’s Star-Advertiser rankings, and Saturday’s game — the finale of an ILH tripleheader at Aloha Stadium — will be a pivotal point […]

Makekau makes good on start

By Brian McInnis on September 8, 2013

Senior Brandon “Pono” Makekau rewarded his coach’s faith with some memorable moments on Friday night. The Castle quarterback made good on his first start of the season with 21-for-28 passing for 193 yards and two touchdowns (both to Ikaika Urasaki) and no interceptions in about 2 1/2 quarters of work in a key 21-7 win over McKinley. The 5-foot-10 Makekau led the Knights in passing three times as a junior in 2012, so he wasn’t totally unfamiliar with the role. […]

Mililani expects to get back to full strength soon

By Hawaii Prep World on September 7, 2013

After Mililani pulled away from Waipahu without one of its top performers, coach Rod York anticipates the Trojans being back at full strength the next time they take the field. Mililani running back Vavae Malepeai sat out the Trojans’ 39-12 win on Friday due to bruised ribs. Mililani has a bye next week, and York said Malepeai will be back for the Trojans’ Sept. 20 game against Campbell. York added that the Trojans are also set to welcome slot receiver […]

Kamehameha kills clock, ‘Iolani

By Jerry Campany on September 7, 2013

Of all the drives that ended in touchdowns for Kamehameha in the Warriors’ win over ‘Iolani at Aloha Stadium on Friday night, one that didn’t end with a touchdown celebration might have been the most important. Kamehameha’s offense scored on four of its last six drives, settling for a field goal on their first one after halftime and taking a knee to end their last one of the game. The Warriors lined up to receive the second-half kickoff clinging to […]

Kalani’s Brum sets school record in loss

By Billy Hull on September 7, 2013

Noah Brum has been knocking at the door for the better part of two seasons as Kalani’s starting quarterback. On Friday night against Radford, he finally walked right in. The Kalani senior set a school record with 384 yards passing in a 47-37 loss to the Rams at Kaiser Stadium, breaking the previous high set by Ryan Kahana, who threw for 368 yards in a 42-20 loss to Roosevelt on Nov. 1, 1991. Brum has topped 300 yards in four […]

Punahou SS Branton commits to Stanford

By Paul Honda on September 6, 2013

Punahou shortstop Beau Branton has orally committed to Stanford. “I found out that I was officially admitted today,” Branton said on Thursday morning. “I feel pretty awesome. It’s one of the best feelings ever.” There was interest from other schools, but Branton narrowed his choices to Stanford, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Penn and Dartmouth. “Stanford is a place with the highest standards for academics and athletics. It doesn’t get much better than that,” said Branton, who played with the Utah Bucks […]
