Saint Louis’ Tuitele a gametime decision

By Nick Abramo on October 20, 2017

Saint Louis junior defensive lineman Faatui Tuitele‘s status for Saturday’s Interscholastic League of Honolulu football Division I second-round championship game is unknown. “Tui is a game-day decision,” coach Cal Lee said Thursday. “He hurt his elbow in practice and did not play last week. He will play next week for sure.” Next week, the Crusaders (7-0) — the league’s first-round champion — will only be playing if they lose Saturday’s game against Kamehameha (4-4). If they win, they are overall […]

Q&A: St. Francis football coach Kip Akana

By Paul Honda on October 20, 2017

Kip Akana rarely sits still. Between football and baseball coaching, the day begins early and ends long after the sun sets — just the way he likes it. The St. Francis football coach has seen enormous growth by his team over the past three seasons. On Saturday afternoon, the Saints (7-3) will face defending champion Damien for the second-round title of Interscholastic League of Honolulu Division II. St. Francis will need to win that game, then defeat regular-season winner Damien […]

Q&A: Saint Louis football coach Cal Lee

By Paul Honda on October 20, 2017

In the Interscholastic League of Honolulu, success in the regular season is protected. That’s why No. 1 Saint Louis is sitting in the driver’s seat. The Crusaders had a bye last week, and will face fourth-ranked Kamehameha at Aloha Stadium on Saturday night in the ILH second-round title game. Kamehameha needs to beat Saint Louis for the second-round title, then beat the Crusaders in the overall championship next week to claim the ILH crown. It’s the kind of scenario that […]

Q&A: Waianae football coach Walter Young

By Paul Honda on October 20, 2017

It could be the drive-through at McDonalds or the parking lot at Foodland. If there’s time to get things done, Walter Young finds a way. The Waianae football coach is busy with his young children before and after practice up and down the Leeward Coast. He’s also busy with his football kids. The Seariders will meet Mililani in the Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I semifinals tonight at Aloha Stadium. Waianae outlasted Farrington last week, 27-21, to advance. Last year, the […]

Q&A: Kahuku football coach Makoa Freitas

By Paul Honda on October 20, 2017

There was just a tiny window of opportunity when Kahuku coach Makoa Freitas graciously spent a few minutes chatting with Hawaii Prep World on Thursday. Freitas is in his first season as head coach and the Red Raiders are unbeaten in Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I play, in the throes of what could be another epic title run. Freitas, the former Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman, is as even-keeled as they go. Not surprising for someone who considers Tony Dungy one […]

Q&A: Campbell football coach Darren Johnson

By Paul Honda on October 20, 2017

Darren Johnson played quarterback at Kahuku High School. He also played point guard. He also played baseball. He can also play a pretty good ukulele, in all likelihood, coming from a musical family. But what Johnson does now, decades into his life as a coach, isn’t something he would’ve imagined 35 years ago. This afternoon at Aloha Stadium, he’ll be coaching against his alma mater. Campbell is in the semifinal round of the Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I football playoffs […]

Q&A: Mililani football coach Rod York

By Paul Honda on October 20, 2017

Rod York knows the trenches well. The former ‘Iolani and Hawaii defensive lineman is also a lifelong student of the game. Some people naturally are afraid to ask for help. York has always embraced any opportunity to add more to his bank of knowledge. The result at Mililani is a perennial powerhouse that grasped the read-pass option concept early on and teaches it all the way down to the youth level. York’s unbeaten (9-0) team will meet Waianae in the […]
