No regrets for Waianae’s Rosario

By Christian Shimabuku on November 10, 2017

Before the season started, Waianae senior Rico Rosario almost didn’t suit up for the Seariders. With his family set to move to Las Vegas, Rosario had a choice: play his senior season at Liberty High School in Henderson, Nev., or stay with his grandparents in Waianae. Rosario chose the latter and finished the season with 872 rushing yards on 162 carries and 12 touchdowns, including 25 carries for 86 yards in a 10-7 loss to Kahuku in the HHSAA Division […]

Answering the Bella: Spartans outlast Lunas

By Paul Honda on November 10, 2017

They are fast enough to run with anyone. They’re good enough to shoot with anyone, too. What coach Chico Furtado wants from his Maryknoll Spartans, however, is complete awareness. The Spartans pulled away in the second half with an 9-0 run en route to a 52-36 victory over Lahainaluna on Friday afternoon at McKinley Student Council Gymnasium. Rhianne Omori finished with 17 points, Kamalu Kamakawiwo‘ole scored 10 points with four rebounds, and Chayse Milne tallied eight points. The key, however, […]

Q&A: Mililani football coach Rod York

By Paul Honda on November 10, 2017

Rod York doesn’t ask for precision and teamwork. He demands it. The former ‘Iolani and Hawaii defensive lineman is in his eighth season as head coach at Mililani. Through the ups and downs — mostly ups — York and his staff have been steadfast about learning. For York, the game is in his blood, and the quest for new knowledge never ends. The Trojans will meet top-seeded Saint Louis tonight in the semifinal round of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Open […]

Q&A: Saint Louis football coach Cal Lee

By Paul Honda on November 10, 2017

The Saint Louis Crusaders are 8-0 with wins over some of the state’s finest teams. Punahou. Kamehameha. Waianae. Toss in a wild victory over Narbonne (Calif.) and they are No. 1 in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10, and also the top seed in the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Open Division State Championships. They have outscored foes 360-104, and that resume includes Top 10 teams in seven of those eight games. For Cal Lee, none of that matters. Today’s matchup with Mililani […]

UCSB signee Vierra sparks Warriors over Tigers

By Paul Honda on November 10, 2017

The week has gone quite nicely so far for Kiana Vierra. On Wednesday, the 5-foot-10 wing signed a letter of intent to play basketball at UC Santa Barbara. On Thursday, she sank five treys in nine attempts and finished with 15 points as Kamehameha defeated McKinley 56-28 at the McKinley Black and Gold Classic. A year from now, she’ll be suiting up for the Gauchos, who are in the Big West Conference. That means home-and-home matchups with Hawaii. “Their coaches […]

Rickard on loss to ‘Iolani: ‘The girls needed this’

By Paul Honda on November 10, 2017

Todd Rickard has seen more than his share of great team basketball. The longtime Lahainaluna girls basketball coach has high expectations every winter for the Maui Interscholastic League’s dynastic program. For now, though, that elite standard is just a bit out of reach, and Rickard is none too pleased. After a 49-45 loss to ‘Iolani on Thursday at the McKinley Black and Gold Classic, he was as cranky as an rusty engine. “I’m disgusted. We didn’t have one plus tonight. […]
