Crusaders win, but seek penalty-free perfection

By Paul Honda on October 21, 2017

Cal Lee was in good spirits after Saint Louis’ 38-2 win over Kamehameha on Saturday night at Aloha Stadium.

By Christian Shimabuku on October 21, 2017

Saint Louis’ defense was effective again on Saturday night, with the only points it squandered being a safety by the offense. Backup quarterback Maika Bonner was sacked in the end zone, breaking up a shutout for the Crusaders. But the defense did its job, allowing just 137 total yards in a one-sided 38-2 victory over Kamehameha at Aloha Stadium to clinch its third straight ILH Division I title. Noa Purcell recovered a blocked punt in the first quarter, adding to […]

By Paul Honda on October 21, 2017

Bubba Akana‘s game-tying touchdown pass to Scott McLeod with 1:10 remaining brought St. Francis back into a 14-all tie with Damien, but it was the beginning of a confusing situation when Damien’s Matt Faufata-Pedrina appeared to block the ensuing PAT kick. Damien was penalized for roughing the kicker. St. Francis went on to convert the next PAT attempt en route to a 15-14 playoff win. The teams will meet again next Friday for the Interscholastic League of Honolulu Division II […]

By Christian Shimabuku on October 21, 2017

Time stood still for a few seconds at Aloha Stadium with St. Francis’ season hanging in the balance. Down by six points to Damien with 1:10 left, Saints junior quarterback Bubba Akana lofted a deep ball to Scott McLeod, who had a one-on-one matchup down the left sideline. The physically imposing McLeod, who stands at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, streaked down the field and simply snatched the ball at the 10-yard line, where he eased his way to pay dirt. […]

The No. 1-ranked Saint Louis Crusaders can wrap up a third consecutive ILH championship with a win over Kamehameha.

Safety Kalamaku Kuewa, who missed the Punahou game while on a baseball trip, is expected to play and the Warriors should be at full go. NO. 4 KAMEHAMEHA WARRIORS (4-4) […]
