By Billy Hull on November 8, 2018

The first of two final picks for the Polynesian Bowl from Hawaii has been made today with Kamehameha defensive back/linebacker Tiger Peterson earning an invite to the annual high school football all-star game. Peterson, who is 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, is committed to the University of Hawaii, choosing the Rainbow Warriors over offers from Air Force and Utah State. The 2019 Polynesian Bowl will take place Saturday, Jan. 19, at Aloha Stadium. Peterson is the fourth player from Kamehameha selected, […]

Tipping off: A look at top girls teams and players

By Paul Honda on November 6, 2018

Sometimes, the seasons arrive too soon. Unless it’s basketball. It’s never too soon for prep basketball, even if it feels like the 2017-18 season was an overnight dream. Yes, as we enter Year 12 of girls basketball in the Hawaiian winter — rather than spring — the change of seasons combined with the earlier-than-ever start date makes this week phenomenal. Maryknoll has already played Moanalua, last Saturday (Nov. 1) and the Lady Spartans won. Preseason is never neat and tidy, […]

Q&A: Waipahu senior safety Deacon Kapea

By Paul Honda on November 6, 2018

It takes all 11 players to make a defensive unit this strong. Waipahu does that, and there’s leadership to sustain the kind of success the Marauders have achieved. They have allowed nine points in two playoff games en route to the OIA Division I football championship just one year after taking the D-II title. Deacon Kapea, who grew up playing sports at Village Park, returned from Damien during his sophomore year for a chance to play at the alma mater […]

HAWAII GROWN: Oregon’s Apelu out for regular season

By Billy Hull on November 5, 2018

Oregon senior linebacker Kaulana Apelu made four tackles in Saturday’s 42-21 win over UCLA before leaving the game with an injury. Ducks coach Mario Cristobal said Monday that Apelu suffered a small fracture to his lower leg, which will keep him out of Oregon’s final three games against Utah, Arizona State and Oregon State. It’s not as severe as the fractured ankle that caused him to miss the final eight games of his junior season, but the injury is in […]

Remembering Vince Manuwai, King of the Bamboolas

By Jerry Campany on November 4, 2018

Former Farrington lineman Vince Manuwai died today at age 38, leaving behind six children. Manuwai went on to become one of the best offensive linemen in UH history and made it all the way to the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but his legend was forged as one of the kings of the Bamboolas, as Farrington’s offensive line is known. Manuwai was a first-team All-State selection for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin after his senior season, earning honorable mention for the Honolulu […]

CLOSING THE BOOK: Farrington Governors

By Jerry Campany on November 4, 2018

The Farrington Governors finished a brutal season 2-10 in 2018, but they benefited from a coin flip by showing marked improvement in the OIA Open playoffs against Campbell. The Open Division was not kind to the Governors, causing them to win their fewest games since 2001 under Davis Pila and lose 10 games for the first time in the program’s long history. It was also the worst season by margin of victory (-16.6) since 1953 under first-year coach Francis Aiwohi, […]

Maui sews up final state tourney berth

By Nick Abramo on November 3, 2018

They play No. 9 Hilo at Keaau on Friday in the Division I semifinals. No. 5 Campbell took hold of the […]
