By Jason Kaneshiro on August 4, 2018

Waipahu entered Friday’s season opener against Waianae with the numbers — in the record book and on the rosters — tilting heavily toward the visiting Seariders.

Hurricanes defenders Bubba White, Peni Naulu, Liam McMoore, Tariq Lacaden, Isaiah Mareko, Zechariah Kahelemone, Kevin Burkel and Maceal Afaese put down the thunder on Castle’s offense. […]

In fact, it was the composure of the Farrington football staff, particularly on a night when penalties nearly derailed the Governors’ efforts, that kept the visitors one step ahead of Leilehua on Friday. The Govs pulled away for a 35-16 win as Sanchez saw his team play more consistent football after halftime, when it was close at 14-6. “We’re disappointed with the personal […]
