On one side of the triangular matchup at the McKinley field last Saturday, you had a program having trouble putting enough players in uniform to participate. And no, it wasn’t the McKinley Tigers. It was the Kaiser Cougars, who have taken the mantle from the Tigers as the team that could forfeit games on a week by week basis. But it wasn’t so long ago that McKinley was in that exact same predicament. Before them, it was Anuenue, a school […]

Having five returning starters protecting him up front certainly doesn’t hurt. Gabriel made his varsity debut as a freshman, earned the starting position last year and passed for 2,656 yards and 28 touchdowns behind the protection of an offensive line comprised of three juniors and two freshmen. The unit returns intact and represents the foundation for the Mililani offense as the fourth-ranked […]
One of the constants of Leeward Oahu has been and probably always will be Waianae football. From the Pee Wees of Pop Warner (Waianae Tigers) on up to the high school, there’s a certain consistency and tradition, coaching and community pride, that is all part of the time-capsule brand of teamwork that endures. But there’s always something unexpected with high schoolers. Rico Rosario, a bedrock of stability on the offensive side of the ball, nearly upset the cart when he […]
