HAWAII GROWN: Milton back starting at UCF

By Billy Hull on October 18, 2016

Five months ago, McKenzie Milton was still in school at Mililani finishing up his senior year. In that short span of time, he’s gone from record-setting Trojans quarterback to the No. 1 starting quarterback option at Central Florida. UPDATE: UCF head coach Scott Frost said Monday that Milton is UCF’s starting quarterback “moving forward.” Milton started his third game of the season Saturday in a 26-25 loss to Temple. He finished 13-for-22 for 210 yards and two touchdowns with one […]

Opinion: extra OIA football games are otiose

By Nick Abramo on October 17, 2016

Two surprises came upon this Hawaii Prep World reporter recently. >> The first one was that the Oahu Interscholastic Association’s quarterfinal losers would play an extra game this weekend for seeding purposes in the upcoming Division I state tournament. >> The second one was that Moanalua would be forfeiting one of those games against Campbell. OK, well, from this corner of the world, it seems like those games are unnecessary anyway. There is no title at stake. Yes, the teams […]

By Hawaii Prep World on October 17, 2016

Kamehameha’s first losing season in 24 years ended Friday in a 57-24 loss to Punahou in the ILH second round. The Warriors finished 3-6 in Abu Ma’afala‘s first year as head coach with all six losses coming to teams ranked in the top five of this week’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 released Monday. It begs the question. Should a team with a 3-6 record that is forced to play the kind of schedule Kamehameha did still be ranked as […]

By Hawaii Prep World on October 17, 2016

Kahuku’s 63-0 shutout of Leilehua on Friday in the quarterfinals of the OIA Division I playoffs wasn’t enough to move up in the latest USA Today Super 25 national rankings.
