By Billy Hull on October 28, 2019

Eleven days after suffering a high-ankle sprain against Tennessee, Alabama junior quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to return to the practice field. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban told reporters Monday at the Monday Morning Quarterback Club in downtown Birmingham he thinks Wednesday is probably the first day the Saint Louis alumnus and 2016 Star-Advertiser offensive player of the year will be back on the field. The second-ranked Crimson Tide have a bye week before next Saturday’s showdown with No. 1 […]

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2019

It wasn’t a smooth ride, but Coach Chris Blake and the Kamehameha Warriors were equipped for the duration. The Warriors rose out of the ILH playoffs to upend regular-season winner Punahou for the league crown. Then Kamehameha worked through the state tournament, rallying to beat Punahou in four sets for the title. This is Kamehameha’s 22nd girls volleyball state championship, and 10th under Blake, who has guided the program to the state finals for 17 years in a row.

Mililani looks to jump-start offense for states

By Brian McInnis on October 27, 2019

Any moments of offensive rhythm between Mililani and Kahuku on Saturday night were like visits from a long-lost friend who couldn’t stay around to chat and catch up. Kahuku got the better of a rock fight at Aloha Stadium, prevailing 7-3 to claim its 27th OIA championship and deny Mililani a repeat Open Division title and a fifth overall under coach Rod York. The night started for Mililani with a clanged field-goal attempt off the left upright and didn’t get […]

Losses lifted Kaimuki to list of OIA winners

By Christian Shimabuku on October 27, 2019

The midday sun beamed on the Kaimuki sideline from the start of its biggest game of the year. With a 2 p.m. kickoff and temperatures rising to as high 96 degrees on the field, the mauka side of Aloha Stadium and its lack of shade was not kind to the Bulldogs. David Tautofi’s squad didn’t have a choice but to gut it out. With just 26 players suited up, Kaimuki rose to the sweltering occasion and pulled out a 27-24 […]

Kahuku stays true to form to get back to where it belongs

By Christian Shimabuku on October 27, 2019

The year 2017 may be too recent to evoke feelings of nostalgia, but not if you’re a follower of Kahuku football. On Saturday night at Aloha Stadium, the Red Raiders downed Mililani 7-3 to win the OIA Open Division title, making it just two years since their last league title. To some, that gap felt like an eternity. “We were thinking about that this whole week, that it’s actually been a while,” said cornerback Kaonohi Kaniho, who was a sophomore […]
