Waipahu finally will be tested next week

By Billy Hull on September 16, 2017

Both running back Alfred Failauga and receiver Alika Ahsing were extremely humble after the Marauders’ 49-0 win over Kalani on Saturday night at Kaiser Stadium. Ahsing, who had three receptions for 124 yards and two touchdowns, answered every question saying the Marauders could be a lot better. “We’ll come back Monday and get to work,” he repeated again and again. Failauga, who rushed for 147 yards and four touchdowns, was equally as muted, saying “we played well, but could do […]

By Hawaii Prep World on September 16, 2017

By Nick Abramo on September 16, 2017

A few minutes before the McKinley at Waialua football game on Friday night, the Bulldogs’ homecoming queen arrived in the press box and took a seat near the public address announcer. Maybe she was going to give notes to the announcer to read at halftime while the homecoming court is introduced. But no. Lea’a Puleiala took a pen and paper and a scoresheet and started taking stats. “Are you in the court or are you the queen,” a reporter asked. […]

Campbell sophomore Pokii Adkins-Kupukaa was sensational on Friday night in a 35-19 win at Radford, hauling in four passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns. He also added two interceptions on top of returning kickoffs and punts for No. 10 Sabers (5-2, 5-1 OIA Blue), who have won five of their last six. “The struggle is real, just gotta fight through it every day,” he said when asked […]

By Nick Abramo on September 16, 2017

Sophomore quarterback Alexandria Buchanan has been getting the headlines the last few weeks for the McKinley Tigers, and she did her job once again Friday night managing the game.
