Hilo’s Huddleston a special talent

By Paul Honda on August 13, 2017

Kahale Huddleston has played long enough to know it’s not a one-man show. Not even after a six-touchdown afternoon at storied Eddie Hamada Field. The Hilo senior rushed for 244 yards and scored six touchdowns, brisk and elusive as the warm trade winds slipping over the natural grass field. Huddleston, whose height and weight weren’t listed in the roster, stands at roughly 6 feet and isn’t quite 190 pounds, according to Coach Kaeo Drummundo. But he was brilliantly untouchable on […]

Kaimuki’s iron men play at another speed

By Paul Honda on August 13, 2017

Everywhere they go, home and away games, they ride the bus. That hasn’t stopped the Kaimuki Bulldogs from emerging as a stronger team each season under Coach David Tautofi. They made an immediate impression to the rest of the OIA Division II universe with a 63-0 shellacking of a decimated Waialua squad on Saturday night at Edward Skippa Diaz Stadium. Even with just 25 players in uniform, Kaimuki was in hurry-up mode in the first half and dictated the tempo. […]

Kapolei, Waianae wage heavyweight fight

By Nick Abramo on August 13, 2017

If defense is not your cup of tea, then you didn’t have an appreciation for the close-to-the-vest, 7-0 win by Kapolei over host Waianae on Saturday night. But, if Dick Butkus or Ronnie Lott are your kind of players, then you had a ball of fun watching this intense, early-season matchup of rivals and Honolulu Star-Advertiser Top-10 ranked teams. Train your binocolars on the line of scrimmage and watch the warriors slug it out. The fistfight was a draw. One […]

No. 1 Crusaders have long wait ahead

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 13, 2017

After watching Saint Louis complete a second straight dominant performance, Crusaders coach Cal Lee was typically reserved in his initial evaluation of a 61-0 rout of Baldwin on Saturday. “We gotta look at the film and see where we can get better,” Lee said as the Crusaders boarded the team buses at the top of the ramp leading out of Aloha Stadium’s north tunnel. Whatever issues arise in reviewing the footage, the Saint Louis coaches will have ample time to […]

Nanakuli scores memorable first win since 2015

By Christian Shimabuku on August 13, 2017

Nanakuli would not be denied on Saturday night. Not with a 10-game losing streak that dated back to 2015 and continued last week with a 51-14 season-opening loss to Division II Waipahu at home. The Golden Hawks pulled out all the stops in Aiea and willed their way to a 12-7 victory over Na Alii, one that included four fourth-quarter stands on defense that would have squandered their lead otherwise. “That’s one of the more unique things about the kids […]

Injury forces Castle’s Smith to step in at QB

By Kyle Sakamoto on August 13, 2017

Castle’s Makana Smith proved Saturday that he’s not your typical backup quarterback. Smith came off the bench to complete 6-of-12 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed for a score as Castle beat host Radford 33-28 in an OIA Division I game. Smith, a senior, entered midway through the first quarter after starter Jaylen Uyemura-Lee left the game after being sacked. Smith started the game at wide receiver. Smith completed 35 passes for 333 yards last season, […]

First OT game of the year goes Pearl City’s way

By Billy Hull on August 12, 2017

Makoa Cooper‘s absence last week in a 20-7 loss to Lahainaluna was felt by everyone on Pearl City. Defensive back Kasey Kikuyama, who filled in at running back for Cooper against the Lunas, might have been the happiest to see his good friend back on the field Saturday night at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium for the Chargers’ OIA Division II opener against Kalani. Kikuyama broke up a fourth-down pass in the end zone to hold Kalani scoreless on its first offensive […]

McLeod sets receiving mark in St. Francis win

By Billy Hull on August 12, 2017

Over the first four years of varsity football at St. Francis, the Saints have tried to keep it simple on offense. Establishing a downhill running game has helped St. Francis go from a 1-8 season in 2013 to a 5-3 record in ’16 in which the Saints contended for the ILH Division II crown before losing to Damien. To take that next step, which they hope happens this season, the Saints are opening things up on offense, meaning the ball […]
