Something special about this Mililani team

By Jerry Campany on August 31, 2013

The Mililani football team had almost nothing going for it early in Friday’s win at Waianae. So the Trojans turned to special teams to make things right. The Trojans trailed 14-0 in the second quarter, punted the first five times they had the ball and collected only two first downs. Feature back Vavae Malepeai couldn’t get anything going on the ground, being held to 16 yards on nine carries, and quarterback McKenzie Milton hooked up on only three of his […]

Campbell QB Hurd attacks by land and air

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 31, 2013

Campbell coach Amosa Amosa gave quarterback Isaac Hurd a number to shoot for in the summer pass league. “In pass league if you’re not completing 70 percent of your passes you’re not doing much because there’s no rush, there’s no pressure,” Amosa said. Completion percentage is one of the few stats Amosa tracks in summer play and Hurd hit his targets 72 percent of the time in what his coach described as “the best pass league we’ve had at Campbell […]

Former Hawaii prep stars contribute to UH’s volleyball upset of No. 1 Texas

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 31, 2013

Hawaii’s season-opening upset of top-ranked Texas on Friday showcased some of the state’s top prep volleyball talent of recent years playing in a top-level college setting. Four members of the Star-Advertiser’s 2010 Fab 15 contributed to the four-set Rainbow Wahine victory: Kalei Adolpho (Molokai, No. 5 on the 2010 All-State team) — 11 kills, .421 hitting percentage, seven block assists. Ginger Long (Kamehameha-Maui, No. 9) — two digs. Nikki Taylor (Kaiser, No. 10) — 10 kills, .500, four digs, six […]


OK Kamehameha, we see you

By Billy Hull on August 31, 2013

Forget for a minute that I only considered the other two ILH Division I teams for my No. 1 ranking last week, but I went as far as to place Waianae ahead of Kamehameha. Oops. Even as Saint Louis held a 17-10 third-quarter lead against Kamehameha on Friday night at Aloha Stadium, I was already coming up with a way to justify moving the Warriors up on my ballot despite a potential loss. The Kamehameha secondary quickly made sure that […]

Kalani comes back from its darkest day

By Jerry Campany on August 29, 2013

Call it the Carney Curse. When Kalaheo traveled to Kaiser to play Kalani in 2010, Mustangs running back Jesse Carney ran over the Falcons for 379 yards on 15 carries in a 59-22 blowout. Fans took time out of their day back then to call the Star-Advertiser to complain about the Mustangs running it up on the OIA’s perennial whipping boys. They were just as upset that Carney jumped over legendary names like Damien’s Kama Bailey, ‘Iolani’s Joe Igber and […]

Crusaders, Kamehameha might only get one shot

By Jerry Campany on August 29, 2013

For those old-timers who look forward to seeing Saint Louis and Kamehameha play each year, Friday might be their only chance. Because of the newly implemented playoffs in the ILH this could be the first time since 1968 that the Warriors and Crusaders meet up only once in a season.

Crusaders wary of being the team to beat

By Jerry Campany on August 27, 2013

When Saint Louis slapped Kahuku around in the fourth quarter of a showdown two weeks ago, Crusaders coach Matt Wright wasn’t a big fan of what it meant for his program. It was a good start, but there was so much more to work on. Sure, every team wants to be No. 1 at the end of the year. But taking the top spot early in August just gives opponents an extra incentive to knock a team off its perch. […]
