Ex-Kealakehe SB Boo Jones sparks Konawaena over former team

By Paul Honda on August 21, 2019

The new-look Konawaena-Kealakehe rivalry fell a bit flat. With a new coaching staff, new quarterback and new system — plus some quality transfers from Konawaena — Kealakehe has the potential and promise that has fans excited. Expectations, however, are a bit on hold after Konawaena’s 24-7 win to open the BIIF Division I regular season on Saturday. For the Wildcats, a full house at Julian Yates Field saw more of the same. Konawaena has had the upper hand in recent […]

Canada’s No. 6-ranked team takes on injury-riddled Waialua

By Paul Honda on August 21, 2019

Strange conundrums, indeed. The Trojans of Vincent Massey Collegiate, a public school in Manitoba, Canada, love their football. That’s why Thursday brings both exhilaration and bittersweet sacrifice. “The (Oakland) Raiders and (Green Bay) Packers play in Winnipeg this Thursday,” Trojans football coach Kelsey McKay said by phone on Tuesday night. “But we’re going to Hawaii.” Vincent Massey will play Waialua on Friday night at Tosh Nakasone Field. Waialua is 1-1 after a win over Nanakuli and a loss to Roosevelt. […]

Hilo’s dominant win over KS-Hawaii leaves coach Kaeo Drummondo less than satisfied

By Paul Honda on August 20, 2019

There’s nothing like a dominant win to confirm who rules the roost. Hilo’s 54-10 victory over Kamehameha-Hawaii over the weekend was definitive. The reigning BIIF Division I champion had no trouble with the league’s defending D-II king. Hilo (1-0, 0-0) is atop the hill at this point even if the game with KS-Hawaii was nothing more than an exhibition that doesn’t count toward the league standings. More so, Vikings coach Kaeo Drummondo is less than satisfied. “In all honesty, I […]

By Paul Honda on August 19, 2019

The crown never comes before the coronation. Damien’s move to Division I, along with a No. 3 ranking in the final Star-Advertiser Boys Basketball Top 10, made it quite feasible that the Monarchs would be the top team in the state for the 2019-20 season. A Division II state champion moving up to D-I and winning the title immediately is rare. Damien fit the bill. However, the departure of their junior point guard, Jydon Hall, could be a setback for […]
