Mike Fanoga wins Waianae debut as he tries to bring fans back to the stands

By Paul Honda on August 2, 2019

As the almost immortal Alfred Failauga passed the 200-yard mark with relative ease early in the fourth quarter, it seemed that No. 7 Waipahu would somehow find a way to rally. The visiting Marauders had spotted Waianae a 21-point first-quarter lead, but the home team couldn’t seem to stop Failauga, a 5-foot-9, 190-pound running back. Failauga has been tremendous through three varsity seasons, but now, he is built and performs like a grown man pummeling boys. Or he did, for […]

Leilehua smooth in 35-0 dashing of Farrington

By Nick Abramo on August 2, 2019

Leilehua got off to a fine start to the 2019 football season Friday night, dumping Farrington 35-0 at the Govs’ Skippa Diaz Stadium. The nonleague victory doesn’t mean as much as it would if Farrington was at full strength. The home team was missing 19 players, mostly due to academic probation, according to coach Daniel Sanchez. But that doesn’t take away from the fine form the Division I Mules were in, especially for a season opener against a team that […]

By Christian Shimabuku on August 2, 2019

Not many had a Friday as eventful as De’Zhaun Stribling just experienced. On Friday morning, the Kapolei senior woke up to an offer from San Diego State. On Friday night against Castle, he showed why, catching a game-high 10 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns in a 40-24 win. “It motivated me to push for more and keep working and always be humble,” Stribling said of the gameday offer. Stribling, who is 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds, also earned an […]
