‘Controlled chaos’ fuels Mililani defense in shutout of Kahuku

By Paul Honda on August 17, 2019

There is plenty of hospitality when it comes to the Mililani Trojans. Their recent trip to American Samoa built friendships with the Vikings of Fagaitua that showed on Friday night. Selfies with Mililani and Vikings players, who are visiting Oahu, on the sideline, lots of smiles and memories. Before that festive time, Mililani was less generous on the field. The third-ranked Trojans took care of business on the turf of John Kauinana Stadium with a 32-0 win over No. 4 […]

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 17, 2019

Leilehua defensive end Kiaka Pio didn’t mind that Waipahu running back Alfred Failauga broke the state rushing record on Friday.

By Brian McInnis on August 17, 2019

Kailua (0-3, 0-2 OIA Division I), coming off shutout losses to Punahou (40-0) and Leilehua (14-0), showed plenty of promise against a team that was coming off a signature win — Na Menehune beat ‘Iolani for the first time ever on a walk-off field goal […]

Waipahu’s Alfred Failauga turned opportunity as a freshman into record-breaking career

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 17, 2019

The celebration was somewhat subdued, but the achievement remained undeniable. On the way to the bus following a 23-13 loss at Leilehua, Waipahu’s players and coaches stopped for a moment to commemorate senior running back Alfred Failauga becoming the state’s all-time leading rusher. After a photo opportunity with a banner printed for the occasion, the Marauders sang happy birthday to Failauga after his 186-yard performance pushed him past former Mililani standout Vavae Malepeai for the top spot on the rushing […]

Kaimuki’s 1-2 punch of Jayden Maiava, Naomas Asuega-Fualaau makes the Bulldogs a legit contender

By Christian Shimabuku on August 17, 2019

With roster numbers perpetually hovering in the high teens to low 30’s during David Tautofi’s tenure at Kaimuki, the Bulldogs have relied on a quality over quantity approach. That philosophy has churned out Sama Paama, who starred for the Bulldogs as a two-way lineman before signing with Washington, where he is a freshman this fall. This year, the quality seems to reside in the backfield, where quarterback Jayden Maiava and running back Naomas Asuega-Fualaau combine to form one of the […]
