By Billy Hull on January 29, 2016

‘Iolani senior Keoni-Kordell Makekau said Friday he has committed to Navy and will sign with the Midshipmen next Wednesday on National Letter of Intent Signing Day.

Other schools came after the season, but they were too late. Gaisoa wanted to get through the season […]

She beat everyone in front of her to take the Garner Ivey, Officials and Paani. Carlson continued her steady climb into the girls Pound-for-Pound, pinning both of her opponents last week while watching Roosevelt’s Menjam Tamang lose to Moanalua’s Amanda Higa 6-4. Even if Alo returns to spoil Carlson’s […]
