Q&A: ‘Iolani coach Wendell Look

By Paul Honda on August 11, 2018

There are numbers and there is efficiency. ‘Iolani wants the latter. Even after a perfect completion rate by first-year starter Jonah Chong in a 63-0 nonconference win over Kalani, the Raiders aren’t buoyed by gaudy numbers. “Don’t believe in stats,” said Wendell Look, now in his 28th season as Raiders head coach. Look wasn’t disappointed, of course. Chong was 8-for-8, 136 yards and three touchdowns without a pick. The stat lines of most every other Raider just wasn’t enormous. In […]

Q&A: Waipahu coach Bryson Carvalho

By Paul Honda on August 11, 2018

Year 4 has begun for Bryson Carvalho as head coach at Waipahu. It’s this point when every head coach feels comfortable enough, knowing every player from varsity to JV understands the system, the terminology, the expectations. The culture. But one thing gnaws at Carvalho, whose Division I Marauders pulled a stunning 34-13 nonleague win over Open Division Waianae last week. Whether it’s complacency or Fortnite or any other aspect, his squad had a ton of academically ineligible players to start […]


Leilehua, Kailua entertain in OT duel

By Brian McInnis on August 11, 2018

Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here? The words of Maximus Decimus Meridius, of Gladiator fame, came to mind as Leilehua and Kailua played to an at-times ugly, at-times brutal, at-times action packed duel at the Surfriders’ Alex Kane Stadium on Friday night. The Mules’ 9-yard touchdown connection between quarterback Max Nichols and receiver Jayzon Ramos was the difference in the 20-14 Leilehua win in overtime, but only after Kailua made a thrilling comeback to tie […]

Sulu returns to help power Damien

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 11, 2018

The last time Aperamo Sulu appeared on a football field, he was being driven out of Vidinha Stadium. The Damien freshman running back suffered a leg injury on the Monarchs’ first play from scrimmage in a state tournament win over Kauai last November and left the stadium in an ambulance. Just over nine months later, Sulu appeared to be back at full strength in his return to action on Friday. He started at running back for the Monarchs and ran […]

Moanalua turns to “plan W” to get ‘W’

By Billy Hull on August 11, 2018

In a game in which Moanalua outgained its opponent 408 total yards to 73, Na Menehune found themselves trailing Castle by two points with less than three minutes to go. And that wasn’t even their biggest worry. Moanalua coach Savai’i Eselu found himself without an available player who had practiced a single rep at quarterback leading up to the season. Starter Nick Au, who threw for 375 yards and four touchdowns, was knocked out of the game after taking a […]

Lack of depth doesn’t hurt Kaimuki

By Jeremy Nitta on August 11, 2018

Just as every team does before a game, the Kaimuki football team lined up next to their opponent on the sideline to sing their alma mater. As they did, one thing became glaringly obvious: the lack of numbers on the Kaimuki roster. “We weren’t really sure what it was going to be like tonight,” Kaimuki coach David Tautofi said. “Especially with us only suiting up 21 guys, we were prepared for it, but it worked out in our favor.” According […]

Lee, Tuitele dissatisfied with TD given up

By Paul Honda on August 10, 2018

The state of the Saint Louis Crusaders requires no address. They simply dominate all three phases. In a 69-6 trouncing of Waianae on Friday night, No. 1 Saint Louis was unstoppable on offense, relentless on defense and owned the field-position battle via special teams. “They’re good. They’re in midseason form,” Waianae coach Walter Young said. Waianae mustered minus-2 yards rushing against a ferocious front seven, but that didn’t bring any smiles to Saint Louis’ veteran coach, Cal Lee, or standout […]
