By Kyle Sakamoto on January 26, 2019

Saint Louis’ Skyler Goo scored a season-high four goals, including two on penalty kicks, as Saint Louis defeated Pac-Five 4-2 in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu Division II boys soccer tournament final on Saturday at the Crusaders’ field. Saint Louis (8-2-2), which also won the regular-season title, will be the ILH’s lone representative in the eight-team HHSAA state tournament, which starts Feb. 7. “We got one (goal) done earlier this year, we got another one done now and we have […]

By Jerry Campany on January 26, 2019

State champions Waipuilani Estrella Beauchamp of Baldwin and Lahainaluna’s Nanea Estrella met at 132 pounds on Saturday at Maui High, with the Bear earning an important victory over one of the state’s most accomplished grapplers. Estrella Beauchamp beat Estrella 9-2 in the first round of the round robin and a rematch was scrapped when Estrella forfeited. The cousins met three times last year with Estrella winning each of them. They used the experience against each other to lead them both […]

By Paul Honda on January 25, 2019

The four-time defending champion Konawaena Wildcats are back in the big dance. Sophomore Grace Lyn Hing scored 16 points and senior Caiyle Kaupu added 11 as No. 7 Konawaena edged No. 8 Hilo 37-33 on Friday night at Col. Ellison Onizuka Gym.

ILH coaches move quickly to simplify soccer schedule

By Nick Abramo on January 25, 2019

ILH soccer coaches were looking for a fix and they may get it quickly. The problem is an overload of matches to decide the league champion. It came to a head on Tuesday, when Kamehameha and ‘Iolani played for the girls title. Both coaches, Kristin Masunaga of the Raiders and Missy Moore of Kamehameha, were not thrilled that their teams were playing for the fourth time in seven days. It was, they told the media after the match, not an […]

Hoopbook: When a Top 5 team is left behind

By Paul Honda on January 25, 2019

The girls basketball season has entered jettison stage. There is shrinkage and not everyone likes it this way. In the Oahu Interscholastic Association, six teams qualified for the state tournament this week. That’s half of the state field because the OIA has half of the teams in all of Division I girls basketball. What longtime hoops fans lament is that the Interscholastic League of Honolulu, by that same ratio formula, is permitted just two state entries. That’s why Kamehameha’s 68-64 […]

Castle wins first OIA D-II girls basketball title

By Paul Honda on January 25, 2019

It wasn’t a perfect day for Briarra Nakihei, but the Castle hoopster breathed a sigh of relief after the Knights pulled out a 63-52 overtime win over Farrington for the OIA Division II girls basketball title on Thursday night. Nakihei has been a force for the Knights, but her shot didn’t fall often on this night. She shot 3-for-13 from the field, but hustle (eight rebounds) and nonstop pressure defense were crucial from top to bottom for Castle. So was […]

Leiah Naeata’s 33 points powers Kahuku to OIA title

By Paul Honda on January 25, 2019

On paper, this was Kalani’s championship for the taking. Three players back since the last time the Lady Falcons met Kahuku, including Kamalu Kamakawiwo‘ole and Alayna Akiona. When Kahuku won at Kalani 51-48 during the regular season, it wasn’t a true test of the OIA East’s top teams at full strength. On Thursday night, there was no doubt. No. 9 Kahuku got a career-high 33 points from sophomore guard/post boss Leiah Naeata in a 63-59 win over No. 9 Kalani […]

Mililani holds off Kalani late to reach OIA final

By Nick Abramo on January 24, 2019

The field-goal kicker’s big moment didn’t quite add up to victory, but Mililani still found a way to get past Kalani 3-2 in the OIA boys soccer semifinals at Kaiser Stadium on Thursday night. Liam McGehee, who in the fall was a place-kicker for the state Open Division runner-up Trojans football team, put Mililani ahead 2-1 with about 11 minutes to go on a 50-yard free-kick blast that skimmed off the turf and bounded high into the left corner. Kalani, […]
