Punahou sweeps ILH paddling

By Jerry Campany on January 24, 2017

The Punahou boys canoe paddling team earned a chance at history on Tuesday. The Buffanblu beat Kamehameha in a make-up race from week three, officially securing the ILH championship with 36 points to Kamehameha’s 24 and Mid-Pacific’s 15. Punahou’s boys repeated as ILH champion for the first time since 1987-1990. All three crews clinched a spot in the state meet Feb. 4 at Keehi Lagoon. The Buffanblu boys have won the state championship the last two years, no school has […]

Girls Top 10: Kaimuki’s rise, Punahou’s slide

By Paul Honda on January 24, 2017

Is Kaimuki the Cinderella princess-to-be wearing a black dress with green and gold trim? Mililani, a powerhouse from the OIA West, will have plenty to say about that. So will the other semifinalists: Farrington and Leilehua. The Lady Trojans have been down this road before, and this year’s crew has endured just enough bumps in the road to be battle tested. They’ll face a hot Kaimuki team (10-1) that has transformed since its early season turbulence in the semifinals of […]

Kaiser’s Kaufusi can do it all

By Billy Hull on January 24, 2017

If there’s one person that could argue there should be more than 24 hours in a day, it’s Kaiser’s Andrew Kaufusi. It’s hard to figure out when the Cougars senior has time to sleep. A 4.0 student in the classroom, Kaufusi, who was featured in Tuesday’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser, played five positions for the Kaiser football team in the fall and is a starting fullback for the undefeated boys soccer team, which plays Campbell in the quarterfinals of the OIA playoffs […]

Oregon State adds another commit from Hawaii

By Billy Hull on January 22, 2017

First Oregon State got Kahuku’s Kesi Ah-Hoy to open up his recruitment after committing to Hawaii. Then it got Leilehua’s Charles Moku Watson to commit after he had originally pledged to Washington State last summer. Now the Beavers are adding some beef to their offensive line from Hawaii with the commitment of Waianae’s Onesimus Lutu-Clarke. The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Clarke, who participated in the inaugural Polynesian Bowl at Aloha Stadium on Saturday night, made his commitment public on Twitter tonight. Committed […]

Watson’s commitment to OSU was tough decision

By Christian Shimabuku on January 22, 2017

As one of six preordained participants of the Polynesian Bowl to make his college commitment during the game, the pressure was on Leilehua’s Charles Moku Watson to make a decision. After 10 scholarship offers and a decommitment to Washington State last fall, Watson narrowed his options down to Oregon State and BYU before Saturday night. Regardless, Watson didn’t decide until that morning, ultimately choosing the Beavers. “I kind of slept on it. It was a really hard decision. It took […]

Slade-Matautia followed his heart to Eugene

By Christian Shimabuku on January 22, 2017

All of the stars aligned at the end for Saint Louis senior Isaac Slade-Matautia. The four-star linebacker announced his commitment to Oregon during the fourth quarter of the first annual Polynesian Bowl on Saturday night at Aloha Stadium. A combination of past program success, Hawaii ties and future promise played a large role in his decision. Two of the last top-10 picks in the NFL Draft hailing from Hawaii are UO products. There’s Ducks legend and 2014 Heisman Trophy winner […]
