Pupule ballot: #1 to #35; Baldwin, Maui fear Lunas

By Paul Honda on December 27, 2017

Maybe it’s the soccer effect. Volleyball? Softball. All of the above? Pegging 35 teams and ranking them in girls basketball is not as fluid or smooth as it is with boys basketball, but I give it the ol’ pupule try. After all, the state’s best programs are as good as ever. Maryknoll has dominated local teams, hungry after back-to-back runner-up finishes at the state tourney. Kamehameha is still the second-best team in the rankings despite losing center Kalina Obrey (hand) […]

By Paul Honda on December 26, 2017

Faatui Tuitele is spending the morning after Christmas in a classroom. Driver’s Education isn’t mandatory at Saint Louis, but it’s the quickest, safest and most efficient way, he says, to get a driver’s license. “Freedom. You don’t have to rely on your parents to pick you up and drop you off. You can just take yourself,” he said. “I’ve ridden The Bus probably 40 or 50 times in my whole life. I’m taking the class, then it’s behind the wheel, […]

The force of Robinson lands Lunas in boys Top 10

By Paul Honda on December 26, 2017

Maybe it was overdue, but the voters are convinced about the Lahainaluna Lunas now. The Lunas have won three of their last four games, including victories over then-No. 10 Moanalua and a lopsided win over Baldwin. Coaches and media sent Lahainaluna all the way up to No. 8 after the West Maui hoopsters were unranked through the first two weeks of the poll. Senior Koa Evalu Robinson was a revelation at the ‘Iolani Prep Classic. The 6-foot-4 post demonstrated the […]

The 2008 prep football season began with Leilehua quarterback Andrew Manley, coming off his improbable run from the junior varsity team to leading the Mules to the 2007 state championship, trying to get back to another state final.
