Rising Maryknoll aims at Konawaena dynasty

By Paul Honda on February 2, 2017

What was once the bastion of private schools has become a public-school thing. It is now eight state girls basketball crowns in the past 13 seasons by teams from the public schools. Or maybe it is neighbor-island dominion. All eight of those public-school titles were by Konawaena (seven) and Lahainaluna (one). Or maybe, just maybe, the reign of Konawaena — seven state titles in the past 13 seasons by one of the smallest public high schools in the state (enrollment […]

Q&A: Kaimuki hoopster Victoria Kintz

By Paul Honda on February 2, 2017

The road less traveled is one that Victoria Kintz knows well. The Kaimuki senior has felt the ups and downs of life as a student and athlete, moving from Mid-Pacific to Kaimuki, picking herself up from academic apathy to scholarship peaks. The Bulldogs were OIA runners-up and won their opener in the Snapple/HHSAA Girls Basketball State Championships on Monday against Nanakuli. They take on ILH champion Maryknoll tonight. Kintz took time out to respond to this Q&A with Hawaii Prep […]

Kurisu vows to keep Leilehua moving forward

By Nick Abramo on February 1, 2017

Mark Kurisu has lots of experience as Leilehua’s defensive coordinator and so the Mules probably won’t skip a beat now that he is the new head coach. Kurisu, who took over in November after veteran coach Nolan Tokuda stepped down, is already putting his stamp on the successful program. “This is a tremendous opportunity,” Kurisu said Wednesday in what is believed to be his first public comments since he got the promotion. “I have big shoes to fill, being the […]

By Hawaii Prep World on February 1, 2017

Dreams for many Hawaii high school seniors will be fulfilled Wednesday when student-athletes are able to put pen to paper and sign national letters of intent to various schools in football, soccer and water polo.

Hawaii girls soccer players get noticed

By Jerry Campany on February 1, 2017

For all of the attention football gets, Hawaii talent in girls soccer had an even better day. Local girls had 34 players, many of them taking a break from this week’s state tournament, commit to colleges on Wednesday morning at the Sheraton Waikiki. The biggest names were Iolani’s Kylee Kim-Bustillos going to Sacramento State, True Dydasco of Punahou pledging to Oregon, Alyssa Yoshida of Kapolei going to Colorado State, Jordan Hill of Aiea signing with Azusa Pacific and Hawaii landing […]

Kamehameha’s Pauole picks Air Force over friend

By Billy Hull on February 1, 2017

Before he was offered late in the recruiting process by Fresno State, Kamehameha defensive lineman Nakoa Pauole was in the same situation his best friend, Alema Kapoi, was in last year. Kapoi, who started next to Pauole on the defensive line for Kamehameha in 2015, was offered by three service academies and eventually decided to enroll at Navy. A year later, Pauole had the same three offers to choose from before Fresno State came in and made a late offer. […]

Waianae’s Lutu-Clarke at ease with decision

By Christian Shimabuku on February 1, 2017

Waianae’s Onesimus Lutu-Clarke is setting out to make the very most of his collegiate experience. The first step toward that was signing with Oregon State on Wednesday morning to make his commitment official. He chose the Beavers because of the environment within and beyond the locker room. “It had to be the family-oriented atmosphere that they had there,” Lutu-Clarke said. “I realized how strong of a bond they had with each other and how coach (Gary) Andersen plans to use […]

Kailua’s Mejia took laid-back approach to WSU

By Christian Shimabuku on February 1, 2017

Social media has been an integral part of an athlete’s college recruitment for some time now, but Kailua senior and Washington State commit Christian Mejia took a more old-fashioned approach by avoiding it altogether. “I’m quiet about that. I’m not a social media guy, I’m just laid back,” he said after making his commitment to WSU official. “Just me and my family kind.” After offers from Vanderbilt, Hawaii and Washington State, Mejia was down to the Rainbow Warriors and Cougars.
