HAWAII GROWN: Robins-Hardy on USA team

By Billy Hull on April 11, 2017

Brigham Young junior setter Alohi Robins-Hardy has been chosen to compete on the U.S. Women’s Collegiate National Team that will tour Europe this summer. Robins-Hardy, a 2014 Kamehameha alumna, will play for the CNT-Europe squad, one of three teams within the U.S. Collegiate National Team program, that will play in the 13th Annual European Global Challenge on July 11-14 in Pula, Croatia. The team will also play friendly matches in Europe and train in Maribor, Slovenia. Robins-Hardy is one of […]

TOP 10: Campbell, Kamehameha a cut above

By Hawaii Prep World on April 10, 2017

Fourteen years ago, Kailua and Kamehameha pulled off the rare feat of playing in both the state softball and state baseball finals in the same season. Two years ago, Campbell became the first team since Kamehameha in 1987 to win both the state softball and state baseball championships in the same year. Voters seem to think either one, or both, of those things could happen again this year with the league playoffs beginning over the next two weeks. The Sabers […]

ILH’s Yamaguchi, Donahue are friends and foes

By Nick Abramo on April 9, 2017

Every time No. 4 Saint Louis and No. 5 Punahou play baseball this season, there’s a little mini drama going on, especially when the Crusaders’ Dawson Yamaguchi is pitching. That’s because the senior left-hander and Buffanblu junior first baseman Kyson Donahue are the best of friends, growing up in Kahala about two blocks from each other. Yamaguchi had his way on Saturday at Ala Wai Community Park. He went the full seven innings, struck out seven and didn’t walk a […]

Nanakuli’s Watson continues what brother started

By Nick Abramo on April 7, 2017

Kili Watson is not that far removed from high school and now he is a high school football head coach. Last month, Nanakuli announced a transfer of power, so to speak, from Keala Watson to his brother Kili to lead the Golden Hawks. Unlike some other head coaching changes, this was not a big shakeup. As a matter of fact, Keala, a former standout for the University of Hawaii, still shows up to help whenever he can for the players’ […]

Mililani’s Pascua-Stanton clutch under duress

By Paul Honda on April 7, 2017

Pristine Mililani, with 56 towering pine trees in the sight line between the left-field and right-field foul lines, was an idyllic setting for a proper pitchers duel on Thursday. There was the resilient Kaena Nistal, appropriately named with her unique combination of historic and breathtaking skill and power. Leilehua’s elite-level potential has been driven in part by Nistal’s performance. There was the master of endurance, Misha Carreira, whose countenance rarely strays, always poised and arguably a marathon hurler with few […]

Cantillo’s curve ball makes a return

By Paul Honda on April 7, 2017

Trust is a mighty big part of success, none more so than in big blue country. When Joey Cantillo took the mound against Kalani yesterday with first place in the OIA East on the line, the Kailua ace was in a place that few high schoolers dwell in. The site was Kaimuki’s diamond — Kalani’s home games are on ice until its adopted City and County field is playable — but Cantillo and his arsenal of weapons are as cerebral […]

D-I state football may go down to 6 teams

By Nick Abramo on April 6, 2017

Changes are coming to the football state tournament this fall. One likely change, according to multiple sources close to the decision-making process, will be a field of six teams in all three divisions. Last season, under the pilot three-tier program, the top-tier Open Division and the third-tier Division II had a field of six teams, but the middle D-I had eight teams. That change is expected to part of a proposal to be voted on at the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic […]
