St. Francis continues to build strong program

By Christian Shimabuku on October 22, 2016

In four short years, St. Francis has gone from a football team to a football program. Formerly an all-girls’ school, it went co-ed in 2006 and the student body is currently about equal in male and female enrollment. In October 2012, the school got permission from the ILH and Sister Joan of Arc Souza announced plans to start a varsity program. Those plans came to fruition in the 2013 season. St. Francis dropped their first 16 ILH games. It wasn’t […]

GAME NIGHT 10/21: Saint Louis/Punahou

By Hawaii Prep World on October 21, 2016

No matter what happens Friday night in the ILH Division I title game between No. 2 Punahou and No. 3 Saint Louis, both teams will play in the state tournament. The creation of a three-tier format this year means neither of these teams will end their seasons in the ILH title game, taking away some of the pressure from years past. Still, an ILH title is on the line between the defending champion Crusaders (7-1) and the Buffanblu (7-1), who […]

Iolani reaches state volleyball tournament

By Jerry Campany on October 21, 2016

The Iolani girls volleyball team won the ILH but fell in the state final last year. This time they hope the roles are reversed. The Raiders beat Punahou 23-25, 25-18, 26-24, 25-19 on Friday night to clinch the league’s second state berth. The Raiders will host their first-round match on Monday against an opponent to be determined. Kamehameha, which beat Iolani in last year’s state final, won the ILH championship on Thursday. Punahou’s season is over. The win over their […]

GAME NIGHT 10/21: Damien/St. Francis

By Hawaii Prep World on October 21, 2016

This is the game St. Francis wanted last season. The Saints (5-2) will play for their first ILH football championship against the defending league champs, the Monarchs (5-2), tonight at Aloha Stadium. The Saints lost their first 16 ILH games since forming a football program at the start of the 2013 season. Since beating Pac-Five 12-9 last year for their first league victory, St. Francis is 5-1 in league play with the only loss coming to Damien earlier this season. […]

GAME NIGHT 10/21: Waialua/Kaimuki

By Hawaii Prep World on October 21, 2016

This might be Waialua’s best shot. The Bulldogs (5-2), who have never played a game in the state tournament, can clinch a berth this season with a victory over the other Bulldogs (5-3) tonight at Kaiser in the semifinals of the OIA Division II playoffs. The two teams return to the site of their Aug. 13 battle that was, perhaps, the most exciting game of the season. Kaimuki survived in overtime, 22-20, when Waialua overthrew the two-point conversion trailing by […]

GAME NIGHT 10/21: Pearl City/Waipahu

By Hawaii Prep World on October 21, 2016

For much of the OIA Division II season, Pearl City held the top spot. The Chargers won their first five league games by an average of 22.8 points before losing to Kaimuki and Waialua, dropping Pearl City from the No. 1 seed to the No. 4 seed in the last week of the regular season. Now the Chargers (5-3) have to beat Waipahu (7-1) to clinch a berth in the OIA D-II final and spot in the state tournament. The […]

GAME NIGHT 10/21: Leilehua/Mililani

By Hawaii Prep World on October 21, 2016

While ILH titles are decided in Division I and Division II and the semifinals of the OIA Division II playoffs happen Friday night, there’s the matter of this one OIA consolation game in Division I. Moanalua forfeited its game against Campbell due to injuries and illness, leaving Mililani to play Leilehua in the only OIA consolation playoff game this weekend at John Kauinana Stadium. The reason for the games was to determine seeding in the Division I state tournament this […]

Govs put their trust in One Family

By Paul Honda on October 21, 2016

As a coaching lifer, Randall Okimoto has been consistent. Gadgets and trickeration have their place in the longtime Farrington coach’s playbook, but one of his main focuses in any season — this is his 15th as head coach — is development. When the No. 6-ranked Governors meet No. 4 Kapolei in the OIA Division I football semifinals on Saturday at Aloha Stadium, Okimoto will be counting on everyone on his roster to be ready. More than two months into the […]
