Hilo’s Gianna Yokoe among new stone-cold state champs in air riflery

By Paul Honda on October 29, 2019

It isn’t common, a sister and brother winning state championships. Gianna Yokoe liked that idea, so she withstood the pressure and rallied to win the girls individual title at the Civilian Marksmanship Program/HHSAA State Air Riflery Championships at Blaisdell Exhibition Hall on Tuesday. “I kind of liked the noise. I feed off the energy,” she said of the excitable audience during the championship round. “My brother (Guy) won in 2016. It seems unreal.” Guy made the trip to Oahu to […]

By Nick Abramo on October 29, 2019

RJ Javar scored a touchdown and then went to the hospital in an ambulance in the second quarter of Saturday’s OIA Division I title game at Aloha Stadium. The Moanalua quarterback got just inside the pylon to give Na Menehune a 14-0 lead in what turned out to be a 21-20, double-overtime victory. It was a scary thing for those watching live and on TV, though, when Javar was knocked out by a helmet-to-helmet blow on the play. As he […]

FINAL RANKINGS: Kamehameha ends season back on top

By Billy Hull on October 28, 2019

For a team that has won 22 state championships overall and 10 out of the last 17, Kamehameha was in an unfamiliar position this season.

It wasn’t until two weeks ago, after winning four matches in five days to secure the ILH championship, that Kamehameha finally reached the top spot. That’s where they stay to close out the 2019 season […]
