By Paul Honda on August 6, 2020

The Hawaii High School Athletic Association’s announcement on Wednesday means football, girls volleyball and competitive cheer will have to wait.

Interim football head coach Leonard Lau raring to go at Punahou

By Paul Honda on August 5, 2020

The strangest year of high school athletics could not be more of a mystery for Punahou’s interim head football coach, Leonard Lau.

The Buffanblu were 10-2 last year, losing only to national powerhouse Saint Louis.
