No. 1 Kahuku passes another volleyball test

By Nick Abramo on September 22, 2016

If you didn’t know it before, you know it now. Kahuku girls volleyball coach Mounia Tachibana expects a lot from her players. Sure, she was quite happy that the Red Raiders were in sync and stuck to the game plan in a 25-15, 25-15 sweep of Moanalua in a matchup of unbeatens Wednesday night. In a sense, it was a huge win for Kahuku (7-0), which for the past two seasons could never get past Na Menehune (6-1). But, simply […]

No looking back for Kahuku football team

By Nick Abramo on September 21, 2016

In Kahuku to cover the Red Raiders volleyball match Wednesday, Hawaii Prep World personnel noticed lights at Carleton Weimer Field on and the varsity football team putting some equipment away after practice. A good time to find out more about their trip to Las Vegas last weekend? Not exactly. One thing HPW did learn, however, is that the 35-7 loss on Saturday to national No. 1 Bishop Gorman is already a distant memory. Head coach Vavae Tata had left moments […]

By Christian Shimabuku on September 20, 2016

(http://www.staradvertiser.com/2016/09/20/sports/farringtons-faamatau-is-in-hot-pursuit-with-a-purpose/) The senior talked briefly about his college recruitment. Due to NCAA rules, he has not qualified academically due to his SAT and as a result hasn’t fielded an offer yet. He is taking the SAT in November and December and can qualify academically for the NCAA if he gets a high enough score. If so, his recruiting activity could really increase. “I wouldn’t care […]
