Q&A: Cal Lee on Saint Louis-Punahou title tilt

By Paul Honda on October 26, 2018

Perhaps Cal Lee, Kalani graduate, Linfield linebacker, Kalani/Saint Louis/Hawaii/Hawaiian Islanders/Kalani/Saint Louis football teacher, former athletic director and winningest head coach in island prep football history, has plenty of distractions. It’s unlikely. He may not eat and drink football, but he certainly puts a large percentage of brain usage toward his Saint Louis Crusaders. As they head into a winner-take-all battle with Punahou on Saturday, Lee is in his comfort zone. Saturday’s game at Aloha Stadium between unbeaten, No. 1 Saint […]

What have we learned: time for volleyball Sweet 16s?

By Paul Honda on October 26, 2018

What have we learned about girls volleyball in 2018? So far, we already knew that the sport as a whole across the state is down a tad bit. KS-Maui was once the optimum program in the MIL, but finished 7-5. Talent seems to have matriculated to King Kekaulike, which was unbeaten and ranked No. 3 in the Star-Advertiser Top 10 without having beaten a single ranked team all season. King Kekaulike lost to ILH runner-up ‘Iolani — ranked No. 2 […]


CLOSING THE BOOK: Kapolei Hurricanes

By Jerry Campany on October 26, 2018

The Kapolei Hurricanes probably knew that competing in the Open Division might bring some struggles, but the Hurricanes suffered their first losing season since 2014. The numbers say there was not as much of a difference between this edition of Hurricanes and some of the past ones. Kapolei averaged 19.2 points per game, its lowest since 2014 but only a few points lower than last year’s 21.6. While the offense did its usual thing, the defense was victimized by the […]

Q&A: Kale Ane on Saturday’s ILH title game

By Paul Honda on October 26, 2018

There’s an abnormal bend in the frequency this week. A disruption in the force. Or maybe it’s normal at this point. When No. 1 Saint Louis and No. 2 Punahou take the field on Saturday for the ILH Open football championship, the loser will be done for the season. The winner will advance to the state tourney. Such is the cold, cruel and, in the eyes of many, fairest way in the land. League ratios and representation. It is something […]

King Kekaulike keeps on knocking, but ‘Iolani advances

By Nick Abramo on October 26, 2018

Coach Al Paschoal comes to Oahu for the state championships every year with his King Kekaulike team. Even though it’s usually one and done in the championship bracket, his girls remain upbeat. On Thursday night, Na Alii lost in four sets — 25-18, 22-25, 25-12, 25-8 — to ‘Iolani in the Division I quarterfinals of the New City Nissan/HHSAA Girls Volleyball State Championships at Moanalua. While the Raiders will be trying to get to the final in a semifinal matchup […]

CLOSING THE BOOK: Waianae Seariders

By Jerry Campany on October 25, 2018

When the Waianae Seariders faithful gather to talk about the glory days, they will skip over 2018 unless it is as a springboard to the greatest comeback ever in 2019. The Open Division did not treat the Seariders kindly, leaving them with a 1-8 record for the worst mark in the school’s storied history. The only time Waianae won only one game was in its first season in 1959 but even that squad scored more points than Waianae’s 7.4 this […]

Q&A: Castle coach John Hao on Knights’ rise

By Paul Honda on October 25, 2018

October 20 won’t ever be the same again in the Hao household. On Saturday, Grace Hao gave birth to Kūlia Nalani Lokomaikaʻi Hao, who was born, 8 pounds, 1 ounce and 21 inches tall. Less than 12 hours later, dad John Hao was at Castle’s battle with Moanalua. Castle upset the unbeaten Na Menehune 28-14. “Because we won the game that night, we named her Kulia, which means fortunate and blessed,” Hao said, catching a breather on Thursday afternoon. The […]
