Q&A: Punahou coach Kale Ane

By Paul Honda on August 17, 2018

The Punahou Buffanblu began the Open Division season with a 41-28 loss at Kahuku, but veteran coach Kale Ane remains optimistic. Taking on last year’s state finalist was a big test for Punahou, which got 311 passing yards and three TDs from first-time starter Hugh Brady. But it also provided the Buffanblu with a clear look at what needs fixing. Punahou plays at Kapolei tonight (Friday) in a big game for the Buffanblu. Coach Ane chatted with Hawaii Prep World […]


Q&A: ‘Iolani coach Wendell Look

By Paul Honda on August 17, 2018

The ‘Iolani Raiders are in a sweet spot. The reformation of merged schedule, a three-tiered format, finally has the Raiders in a place they can call home. For a long time, ‘Iolani was a Division 1.5 type of football program. Dominant at the D-II level, but lacking girth and depth at the then-top tier of D-I. With the current Open, D-I and D-II structure, ‘Iolani is off to a strong start in the middle division. The Raiders are 2-0 so […]

Q&A: Kahuku coach Sterling Carvalho

By Paul Honda on August 17, 2018

A 2-0 start for Kahuku is no surprise. The No. 2 team in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 is hungry. The Red Raiders want it all, as always, and that goal hasn’t been achieved as often. Kahuku has captured just one of the last five state championships in the HHSAA’s highest tier. There doesn’t feel like a significant drop-off, though. After winning the state crown in 2015, Kahuku reached the final in the past two seasons, losing to Saint Louis. […]

By Paul Honda on August 17, 2018

Ron Lee has seen his share of productive playmakers during his many years of coaching high school football. But even with a 69-point output by his offense last week against Waianae, Saint Louis’ offensive coordinator has guarded optimism when the No. 1 Crusaders (1-0) meet Narbonne (Calif.) (0-0) tonight at Aloha Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. following the conclusion of an exhibition game between Saint Louis junior varsity and Metro Tigers 14-Under. Last year, Saint Louis rallied for […]

By Billy Hull on August 16, 2018

Q&A: Campbell coach Darren Johnson

By Paul Honda on August 16, 2018

Meet Darren Johnson. Kahuku basketball wiz. Ukulele player. Dallas Cowboys fanatic. Kahuku football player, assistant coach. Kailua head coach. Kahuku basketball coach. Campbell Sabers football coach. That’s right. Coach DJ wakes up early, heads to his job in Kalihi (OCCC), then heads to Ewa Beach for practice, and then back to Hauula. Every day, almost. Somehow, he’s managed a near 100-percent academic eligibility rate in his two seasons — perfect, actually, this fall. On the field, the Sabers are in […]
