Punahou gaining momentum with wins over Sacred Hearts, ‘Iolani

By Paul Honda on April 12, 2021

Dave Eldredge has kept his expectation level steady this spring. After the past week, the Punahou Buffanblu have given the longtime coach reason to raise that bar. With wins over Sacred Hearts and ‘Iolani, the Buffanblu are now 2-2 in ILH softball regular-season play. When the single-elimination league playoffs begin on May 5, the top two teams will have first-round byes. A 12-2 runaway win over ‘Iolani on Saturday in six innings came with a caveat. The Raiders were down […]

Punahou, Kamehameha turn down chance to play at Aloha Stadium, TV coverage

By Paul Honda on April 8, 2021

For safety’s sake, Wendell Look wanted to see exhibition football games between private schools played at Aloha Stadium. Following a cancelled football year in Hawaii, it would have been nostalgic. Memorable. Epic, maybe. Instead, the ‘Iolani co-Athletic Director saw his intricately assembled plan come to a halt. Of all the plans laid out by the ILH’s football coordinator since last summer, this one wasn’t dependent on entities outside the private-school league. It wasn’t even at the mercy of the league, […]

The lack of activity for football programs and players since the fall of 2019 could mean tough decisions are close at hand for athletes and their families this spring. There could be many more ready to transfer to the mainland to ensure a senior football season. Private-school football programs on Oahu are close to engaging in scrimmages and games on a limited, exhibition basis this spring. Saint […]
