Kamehameha’s Akana signs with Hawaii

By Paul Honda on November 14, 2018

Braelyn Akana was wide awake at 3:30 a.m. as her family made the trek from the North Shore to the Hawaii Convention Center. The Kamehameha volleyball standout signed with Hawaii at the Hawaii Class of 2019 National Letter of Intent Signing Day ceremony presented by Education-1st. In all, 69 seniors signed letters. “From the start of this week, I was super excited. This morning, it was really weird because I didn’t feel tired,” said Akana, who played middle blocker for […]

By Paul Honda on November 14, 2018

If signing the most important document of your life at 6 in the morning isn’t memorable enough, maybe the preparation is. Kaena Keliinoi found that out this morning, commuting from Waianae to the Hawaii Convention Center for the National Letter of Intent signing ceremony hosted by Education 1st. The standout catcher at Division II state champion St. Francis signed her document to play softball for Hawaii. Kellinoi, Roosevelt’s Maya Nakamura and Kapolei’s Cira Bartolotti all signed with UH to play […]

Konawaena ace Grace now at St. Francis

By Paul Honda on November 14, 2018

Defending Division II softball state champion St. Francis got a boost with the arrival of junior pitcher Shaylann Grace, a transfer from Konawaena.

Grace homered and went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and three runs scored against St. Francis. She will bolster a talented […]

CLOSING THE BOOK: ‘Iolani Raiders

By Jerry Campany on November 13, 2018

The ‘Iolani Raiders made it to the state tournament only to lose by a single point to Waipahu. It’s the second time an ‘Iolani team has had to board the bus wondering where they could have squeezed out one more point in a state tournament game. ‘Iolani’s Wendell Look joined Saint Louis’ Cal Lee as the only coaches to lose multiple games by a single point in the state tournament. Despite that, the Raiders can still look back and consider […]

By Billy Hull on November 13, 2018

Texas freshman Jhenna Gabriel, a 2018 Maryknoll alumna, was named the Big 12 rookie of the week on Monday.

Straight has Kamehameha running and gunning

By Paul Honda on November 13, 2018

Just five practices into the new season, the Kamehameha Warriors had some things to figure out, just like any other girls basketball team. Three games later, they’re finding their footing. Fast pace. Just a blur. Bombs away in transition and bombs away in patient, precise halfcourt offense. Kalina Obrey hasn’t posted up quite as often as she did as a junior and sophomore, but her ability to knock down the 3 makes her essentially a stretch 5 now, and that […]

Q&A: Roosevelt safety Marcus Hee

By Paul Honda on November 13, 2018

He is Hee. Marcus Hee grew up loving football and making a plan for success around football. As of mid-November, 2018, the Roosevelt senior safety/linebacker has made many of those dreams come true, and the season is not over yet for the OIA Division II champions. With Roosevelt (12-1) preparing for two-time defending state champion Lahainaluna this week, Hee is locked in. He chatted with Hawaii Prep World on Sunday about mom’s home cooking, early-morning workouts and another dream: to […]

6 games in, chemistry improves gradually for Kalani

By Paul Honda on November 13, 2018

The old saying is Rome was not built in a day. Neither is any basketball team just one week into the preseason, so all expectations and hopes for the Lady Falcons of Kalani can be tempered. Just a little. The defending OIA Division I champions notched their first and only win in the Matsumoto Law Group McKinley Black and Gold Classic on Monday, pulling away from Mid-Pacific 54-39. It was another energetic effort by freshman point guard Kalena Halunajan, who […]
