By Paul Honda on September 17, 2016

Kahuku, the No. 1 team in the Star-Advertiser Girls Volleyball Top 10, is ranked No. 53 nationally by PrepVolleyball.com. The rankings were released on Thursday. Kamehameha, ranked No. 2 here, is ranked right behind Kahuku at No. 54. Kahuku defeated Kamehameha during nonconference play recently. The Hawaii teams didn’t do anything to hurt their national rankings on Friday at the Durango Classic in Las Vegas. Kahuku and Kamehameha both won their pools with undefeated records on the first day and […]

Kapolei’s new weaponry on display

By Paul Honda on September 16, 2016

It’s not common for a team that’s rolling along with a 5-1 record (4-1 in league play) to wonder, could there be more? The Kapolei Hurricanes are, so to speak, in a calm before the storm. With the return of some key players from injury — three of them on offense who hadn’t played a snap of regular-season football until Friday night — their explosive offense is suddenly in a bit of a reboot. It’s not an overhaul by any […]

Pacific’s Hawaii players enjoy ‘homecoming’

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 16, 2016

By design, Trey Kodama came up a few credits shy of completing his business degree at Pacific University last spring. Kodama was on track to finish his undergraduate work in finance and marketing in four years, but held off on taking his final class until the fall, thereby extending his football career with the Boxers and giving himself an opportunity to play one more game in Hawaii. The fifth-year senior and Kamehameha graduate returns to the Kapalama campus Saturday for […]


The day the Govs won it all (in Nevada)

By Jerry Campany on September 16, 2016

Even though it is ancient history, it has been done before. As Kahuku prepares to meet Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas on Saturday, it can take some comfort in the fact that it is not the first Hawaii team to travel to beat the Gaels and return to the islands a winner. Farrington did the trick way back in 1968, when a team that included Randy Cadiente, Onosai Tanuvasa, Russ Onaga, Wilfred Makaehu, Howard Ilae and Cliff LaBoy made the […]

By Hawaii Prep World on September 16, 2016

Score Prediction: Bishop Gorman vs. Kahuku

By Hawaii Prep World on September 16, 2016

According to USA Today’s high school sports scoring predictor (and just about everyone else), the nation’s No. 1-ranked team, Bishop Gorman, has the advantage against No. 17 Kahuku. USA Today’s interactive game simulator predicts the Gaels to defeat the Red Raiders, 41-14. It uses data to compare the two teams and plays multiple simulations to determine the most likely result.

HISTORY: Pac-Five leads the series 3-1 but St. Francis won its first ILH game in program history last year beating the Wolfpack in the […]
