By Paul Honda on September 26, 2018

Rod York is as hungry as ever as a coach. York simply loves to build. He and his staff lifted Mililani into a state-championship program (twice). To improve the team’s future, he and his staff started the Mill Vill JPS program for middle-school players.

By Paul Honda on September 25, 2018

The Mililani Trojans are unbeaten in OIA Open Division play, and Dillon Gabriel would be perfectly fine if he hadn’t broken a record along the way. Gabriel is the new all-time career passing yards leader after a 362-yard, five-TD performance against Waianae. His game-day routine is basic and rich with family time.
