Once again, Kamehameha halts Kapolei’s post-season dream

By Paul Honda on December 7, 2021

Some teams just want to survive and advance. The elite thrive and advance. Winning and peaking in the post-season are a way of life on the hill for the Kamehameha Warriors. Kamehameha’s 25-20, 25-17, 22-25, 25-17 opening-round win over Kapolei sends the Warriors into the quarterfinals. The Warriors (9-5) will play a young, unbeaten Baldwin squad that has rocketed to the top of the MIL under new coach Al Paschoal. “I know they’re well coached. Their coach used to be […]

King of the road: Kahuku is No. 1 for sixth week in a row

By Paul Honda on December 6, 2021

Kahuku collected 10 first-place votes to remain atop the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 on Monday. Saint Louis received the remaining two first-place votes from a panel of coaches and media. Kahuku is 7-0 after a 33-7 playoff win over Waianae and has been at the top of the poll for six weeks in a row. Every game has been away due to renovations to Carleton Weimer Field on the Kahuku campus. The rankings remain status quo with no changes. Konawaena, […]

Punahou remains No. 1, Kahuku leaps to No. 3 in Girls Volleyball Top 10

By Paul Honda on December 6, 2021

Seven teams were sifted and reshuffled in the Star-Advertiser Girls Volleyball Top 10 on Monday, but the all-clear for Punahou remains. The Buffanblu (10-2) remained a unanimous No. 1, garnering all 10 first-place votes from a panel of coaches and media. Punahou has not played since Nov. 20, when it defeated Kamehameha in four sets to capture the ILH Division I championship. Punahou plays the Kamehameha-Maui/Mililani winner on Thursday in the quarterfinal round of the New City Nissan/HHSAA Girls Volleyball […]

Lone senior Connor Malinger sparks Eagles to 3rd D-II title in 4 years

By Paul Honda on December 6, 2021

Connor Malinger tried running for his school team back in seventh grade. It was 2016. Five years and an eternity ago. “In seventh grade, I thought the season would never end. I had never gone to so many practices for so long. Cross country was definitely the most draining sport I had ever played,” said Malinger, now a member of two of Hawaii Baptist’s boys cross country championship teams. The senior ran the treacherous, cold, muddy course at the Honolulu […]

HBA girls excel despite rain, mud, cold for D-II state title 3-peat

By Paul Honda on December 6, 2021

In the most difficult of conditions, a three-peat performance was epic for the girls of Hawaii Baptist Academy. At HBA, the “Chariots of Fire” theme song doesn’t play every morning on the intercom, but maybe it should. The Eagles’ growth in cross country over the years continues to peak. Not even the coldest, muddiest state championship meet in recent memory could stop them. When the HBA girls and boys arrived at the Hawaii Preparatory Academy campus on a rainy Saturday […]

Big plays, big ‘D’ spark No. 1 Kahuku in 33-7 semifinal win over No. 9 Waianae

By Paul Honda on December 4, 2021

Sterling Carvalho didn’t like what he saw sometimes on the synthetic turf of Skippa Diaz Stadium. In Kahuku’s 33-7 semifinal win over Waianae, there were 419 combined passing yards by Jason Mariteragi and Waika Crawford. That’s a like. Kainoa Carvalho continued his sensational season with nine receptions for 166 yards, including an 85-yard screen pass for a TD. Another like. Kahuku’s defense was in vanilla mode early on as Waianae established some rhythm with Kolu Quisquirin-Sabagala and the ground attack. […]

By Paul Honda on December 4, 2021

Izzy Ford of Punahou posted at time of 21 minutes, 24 seconds to win the girls individual race at the Honolulu Marathon/HHSAA Cross Country State Championships on Saturday morning. Cloudy, foggy conditions, plus wet, 57-degree temperatures — it was 55 for the earlier boys’ race — greeted the field of 200 female harriers at the hilly Hawaii Preparatory Academy campus in Waimea. Just a few miles away, snow capped the summit of Mauna Kea. Ford is a strong two-sport athlete […]

MIL champ Kaimana Cantere edges OIA champ Ben Zerr by .6 of a second for state cross country title

By Paul Honda on December 4, 2021

The wind and rain of Waimea was named by the ancient Hawaiian people as Kipu‘upu‘u, which is known for its strength, beauty, the shivering cold, as well as poetic references to its violent nature. The most challenging course in the state and today it will be the ultimate test. pic.twitter.com/w4lymLsYsf — HHSAAsports (@HHSAAsports) December 4, 2021 Kaimana Cantere of Maui edged Benjamin Zerr of Kalaheo by sixth-tenths of a second to win the boys individual race at the Honolulu Marathon/HHSAA […]
