By Noelle Kakimoto on September 21, 2019

Coming off of a defeat against Roosevelt last week, the Pac-Five Wolfpack (3-3, 3-3) were out for redemption facing Kalaheo (0-7, 0-6) at Alex Kane Stadium on Friday. The Wolfpack’s 31-0 shutout revealed a team in control and ready to take advantage of the Mustangs’ multiple costly turnovers. Junior QB Chase Hedani was the playmaker of the game, utilizing his weapons both on the ground and in the air to hold scoreless a Kalaheo team that scored five touchdowns only […]

Kaimuki’s Koby Moananu is 2-way wonder in win over Roosevelt

By Brian McInnis on September 21, 2019

You could reach into the bag and pull out any number of huge plays from Friday night’s thriller between Kaimuki and Roosevelt at Skippa Diaz Stadium. Bulldogs running back Naomas Asuega-Fualaau channeled his idol Marshawn Lynch and went full beast mode on a 21-yard touchdown run, running straight into a would-be tackler in the secondary, shedding him and and spinning his way another dozen yards to glory. Rough Riders return man Shepard Kekahuna exploded up the middle on a kickoff, […]


Homecoming win keeps Kalani in playoff chase

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 21, 2019

Kalani coach Scott Melemai can envision a scenario in which the Falcons’ season comes down to a coin flip. In a sense, it already did. A fourth regular-season loss would have shoved the Falcons to deep into the pack in the chase for the fourth and final spot in the OIA Division II playoffs. Instead, they rode a wind-aided start to a 17-6 homecoming victory over Pearl City on Friday at Kaiser Stadium, lifting them into the fourth spot in […]

By Nick Abramo on September 21, 2019

Kapolei had its third string quarterback starting and he learned quickly what the Kahuku defense is all about. Freddie Gregorio, a junior, wound up getting sacked 11 times as the Red Raiders took the bus ride home from Kapolei to the North Shore with a 39-0 victory Friday night. Kapolei’s more experienced quarterbacks Noa Bailey (collarbone) and Mason Gomez (ankle) are out with injuries. Earlier in the day, Gomez rolled his ankle in physical education basketball. “I kind of felt […]

No. 8 Leilehua heads straight to the bus after beating Castle

By Christian Shimabuku on September 21, 2019

No. 8 Leilehua kept itself in the race for the top seed in the OIA Division I playoffs with a resounding 41-13 win over Castle in a game in which the visiting Mules (6-1, 4-1 OIA D-I) repeatedly pounced on the Knights’ (2-4, 2-2) errors. Unfortunately for Leilehua, it doesn’t control its own destiny to get said top seed. Its lone loss came to No. 6 Moanalua (5-0, 3-0), a narrow 24-20 defeat at home on Aug. 30. But on […]

Saint Louis’ Jayden de Laura, Punahou’s Alaka‘i Gilman in epic mastermind battle

By Paul Honda on September 21, 2019

The game can be simple as checkers. On this night, it was chess. Punahou safety Alaka‘i Gilman made sure of it, leading his teammates on another stalwart defensive effort. Even in a 25-19 loss to No. 1 Saint Louis, No. 2 Punahou showed grit to go with plenty of talent. They got to Saint Louis quarterback Jayden de Laura a few times in the backfield, but they also limited his dangerous open-field runs. The senior finished with 12 rushing yards […]

By Paul Honda on September 20, 2019

With an erratic kicking game, top-ranked Saint Louis needed some kind of lift to get past No. 2 Punahou. The Crusaders, ranked No. 6 nationally, got it from the smallest of their offensive starters. Slotback Koali Nishigaya came through with touchdown runs of 1 and 4 yards in the second half as Saint Louis rallied from a 16-6 deficit for a 25-19 win over the Buffanblu to secure sole possession of first place in ILH Open Division. Nishigaya had already […]
