HAWAII GROWN: Oda tied for 2nd in PGA tourney

By Billy Hull on August 16, 2018

Moanalua and UNLV alumnus John Oda is sitting pretty in a tie for second place after the first round of the PGA Wyndham Championship on Thursday in Greensboro, N.C. Oda shot a 7-under 63 and is tied with Ryan Moore behind Brandt Snedeker, who stole the headlines with a 59. Oda teed off in the afternoon and rattled off seven birdies in an 11-hole stretch and did not post a bogey on his scorecard. He is playing in his seventh […]

PREPPING for 2018: Kailua Surfriders

By Nick Abramo on August 16, 2018

21ST IN SERIES For two years in a row, Kailua coach Joseph Wong has had to play large chunks of the season with backup quarterbacks who were called in when the starters were hurt. They did a great job, according to Wong, but they were slotted to play elsewhere. This year, he feels fortunate to have two quarterbacks at the position — Cole Weber and Raynen Ho-Mook — and likely not have any fall-off if either gets hurt. Ho-Mook got […]

PREPPING for 2018: Kapolei Hurricanes

By Nick Abramo on August 15, 2018

20TH IN A SERIES In sports, you win some and you lose some, and that’s how 2018 has started for Kapolei. After a convincing 53-7 victory over Castle, the Hurricanes lost a physical, defensive, 21-7 defensive battle against Kamehameha last Saturday. The win some, lose some scenario plays out at a different level, too. The past two seasons, Kapolei has lost more than a handful of kids to other schools. “We have to get better as a program retaining our […]

PREPPING for 2018: Kalani Falcons

By Nick Abramo on August 15, 2018

19TH IN A SERIES It’s something high school coaches have been going through since football was invented. The cycle. Every three or four years or so, you have a bunch of seniors and somehow the ship sails smoothly. And then, the seniors graduate and you find some rough seas. It appears that such is the case for the Kalani Falcons this year. They’ve dropped their first two games — 63-0 to ‘Iolani and 49-0 to Kaimuki. The second one is […]

Waipahu poised to bounce back from ‘Iolani loss

By Nick Abramo on August 15, 2018

That fall back to Earth came quick for Waipahu. The Marauders, who opened the season with a 34-13 upset of Waianae, got stomped by ‘Iolani 55-14 on Saturday. They had it coming, in a way. A game that was originally scheduled for home was switched to ‘Iolani. It was also at 3 p.m. in the blazing heat. “In hindight, maybe we should have had some 3 o’clock practices during the summer,” Waipahu coach Bryson Carvalho said. “I don’t know how […]

OIA not counting ILH games brings strategy into question

By Paul Honda on August 15, 2018

Back in June, the exact details of the OIA-ILH alliance began to take root. The concept of reuniting the two leagues for football had been around since the breakup in 1970. So, this fall, the leagues returned to an integrated regular-season schedule for the first time in nearly five decades. But there is one catch: while the Interscholastic League of Honolulu counts games against Oahu Interscholastic Association teams in its standings, the OIA does not. The pilot-program approach by the […]

VIDEO: Kahuku O-line adjusts against Punahou

By Paul Honda on August 14, 2018

Punahou’s defense had the edge for some time, but Kahuku’s offensive line eventually made adjustments and helped lead the Red Raiders to a 41-28 win over the No. 4 Buffanblu on Saturday. Four of the five O-line starters chatted after the game: left tackle Enokk Vimahi, center Trycen Mau, right guard Marcus Lombard and right tackle Micah Soliai Howlett. (Missing: left guard Bryce Beatty.)

Pupule: Raiders, Monarchs deserve Top 10 spots

By Paul Honda on August 13, 2018

Here’s a look at this voter’s Top 10 football ballot for the Star-Advertiser rankings that were released today. Pupule football ballot Monday, Aug. 13, 2018 I’m adding sumo-style rank status to my ballot summaries. Why? Sometimes numbers are deceiving. And sub-groups say a little more than flat-out numerical order. 1. Saint Louis (1-0, 1-0 ILH Open Division) The Crusaders may not be completely satisfied with the 69-6 win over Waianae, but they were supreme in all three phases. Quarterback Jayden […]
