Moanalua’s Yuen shakes off early jitters

By Jeremy Nitta on August 6, 2016

Senior quarterback Alakai Yuen was supposed to be the star this season for the Moanalua football team. But early on in the season opener against Damien on Friday night, Yuen struggled. Two of his first four passes were intercepted by the Monarchs, and Yuen was visibly frustrated on the sideline. “He had major jitters, and I was trying to calm him down on the sideline,” first-year Moanalua coach Savai’i Eselu said. “Alakai is a workhorse, and he does such a […]

Kapolei’s intricate routes look very familiar

By Nick Abramo on August 6, 2016

You’ve seen it before. That clockwork offense employed by the University of Hawaii under June Jones. Short routes, medium routes, deep routes. Kill ’em short and then throw a bullet over the middle. Then, when they’re least expecting it, have one receiver go in and one go out and let the defense decide who’s going to take who. Go deep. The quarterback’s arm is loaded and he knows exactly where the receiver is going to be. It took a quarter […]

Amorozo is 4th Waipahu QB to top 300 yards

By Stan Lee on August 6, 2016

Braden Amorozo threw for 316 yards and accounted for two second-half touchdowns to help Waipahu hold off host Nanakuli 20-12 on Friday in the season-opener for both teams. Amorozo completed 22 of 33 passes for the Marauders (1-0). His 3-yard run broke a 6-all tie and Waipahu completed the two-point conversion for a 14-8 lead with 2:30 left in the third quarter. Nanakuli (0-1) closed to 14-12 after Nainoa Banks connected on his second touchdown pass to Joey Vea-Quitog with […]

Kamehameha’s Ma‘afala takes blame for loss

By Billy Hull on August 6, 2016

In every question that Abu Ma’afala answered following his debut as Kamehameha’s football coach, there was a running theme he meant to tell with every other sentence he spoke. “The number one thing we tasked them with going into this was to play hard and play together and they played literally until the last snap,” Ma’afala said after No. 4 Kamehameha’s last-second comeback fell short in a 26-20 loss to No. 8 Waianae. “If there is anyone to blame, blame […]

Punahou’s defense clamps down

By Paul Honda on August 5, 2016

Even without stellar linebacker Seyddrick Lakalaka (foot injury), Punahou’s defensive unit is formidable to say the least. Leilehua’s offense found that out on Friday night. Kona Andres passed for 203 yards, but it was a battle to get downfield in the first half, when the host Mules managed just a field goal. By the break, it was 49-3, and Punahou barely relented in a 70-9 runaway win to start Week 1 of prep football. Andres returned from a mid-game injury […]

Maiava comfortable behind Kahuku O-line

By Nick Abramo on August 5, 2016

Hawaii Prep World got its first glimpse of freshman Sol-Jay Maiava in a Kahuku uniform on Wednesday. During the summer, the quarterback was given a scholarship offer by Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. That’s the same Harbaugh who coached the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl a few years back. The same Harbaugh who played for Michigan and piloted the Indianapolis Colts’ offense as an NFL quarterback. So, what gives? Why now? Is Maiava that good? Well, one practice doesn’t […]

By Hawaii Prep World on August 5, 2016

It’s opening night in the 808 with seven high school football games scheduled for Oahu.
