By Hawaii Prep World on October 27, 2017

The two teams meet tonight at Aloha Stadium for the fourth time to decide the ILH Division II champion and a berth in the Division I state tournament. The Monarchs won the first meeting, 27-20, but lost last Saturday, 15-14, in a game that came down to the final play. Sept. 15: Damien 27, St. Francis 20 […]

The most dangerous 5th-place team in history

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2017

The room was still. The room was frantic. The room was insanely loud. No matter what Moanalua did, Kahuku had an answer. And before long, as Moanalua scratched and clawed from behind, Kahuku put an end to Na Menehune’s season with an incredible 25-23, 20-25, 25-22, 21-25, 15-11 win. An astounding quarterfinal victory by a team that finished fifth in its league. Beating a league champion. Advancing to the final four. Perhaps it’s only in Hawaii that this happens, more […]

Freshman kicker delivers Waipahu an OIA title

By Christian Shimabuku on October 27, 2017

Quarterbacks dream about the scenario. Coaches scheme for it and kickers dread it until it’s over. Everything Waipahu had worked for since March presented itself when the Marauders recovered a Pearl City fumble on the Chargers’ 41-yard line with under five minutes remaining in the OIA Division II championship game at Aloha Stadium on Thursday night. Down by six points, Waipahu quarterback Braden Amorozo seized the moment, delivering a 33-yard dime to Isaac Yamashita that set up a 3-yard rushing […]

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2017

The team in blue, Moanalua, played with heart to the end, but it was the team in red — Kahuku — that advanced to the semifinal round of the New City Nissan/HHSAA Girls Volleyball State Championships on Thursday night. Just like that, unseeded Kahuku knocked out No. 2 seed Moanalua with an epic 25-23, 20-25, 25-22, 21-25, 15-11 victory, and they did it on Moanalua’s home court. For Kahuku, which lost to Moanalua during the regular season (maxing out in […]

The OIA Division II championship is up for grabs tonight at Aloha Stadium as undefeated Waipahu, ranked No. 9 in the state this week by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, faces a Pearl City team it beat 37-6 earlier this season.

By Paul Honda on October 26, 2017

The Waipahu Marauders have been there before. When Bryson Carvalho was an assistant (and JV) coach Bryson Carvalho, the program won the OIA Division II football title. Waipahu football took the OIA D-II titles in 2006 under Sean Saturnio and in ’11 under Eric Keola. The Marauders (9-0) enter tonight’s OIA title game with Pearl City (7-2) in an ultimate winner-take-all: a championship and the lone state-tournament berth. Coach Carvalho chatted with Hawaii Prep World on Wednesday. Bryson Carvalho Waipahu […]
