Brotherhood and a dream at Kalaepohaku

By Paul Honda on November 18, 2015

Cal Lee doesn’t have a lot of quick answers, if any, about many of the things that teenagers care about. Favorite movie? Pause. “I just don’t have the time for that,” he explains. Favorite TV show? Pause. “You know how old I am? I gotta think way back,” Lee said before practice on Wednesday afternoon. “These are tough ones. Like taking the SAT. I like Family Feud.” For many of the Crusaders, there is no off-field hobby. There is schoolwork. […]

The game before the game: Kahuku/Saint Louis

By Jerry Campany on November 18, 2015

With the First Hawaiian Bank / HHSAA state football championships coming up on Friday, let’s play a little bit of extreme fantasy football. The difference in this, however, is that is is completely and utterly subjective from the beginning to the end. The big game got us to thinking, what would a matchup of all-time teams for Kahuku and Saint Louis look like? What if they all gathered together in their prime, took over the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Park and […]

Kahuku, Saint Louis renew the rivalry

By Billy Hull on November 18, 2015

Saint Louis’ historic run of Prep Bowl titles ended only because of a format change. The Crusaders had won their 13th consecutive Prep Bowl in 1998, sliding past Kahuku, 28-20. A year later, the first Hawaii high school state tournament was put together by the HHSAA and featured eight teams. It didn’t slow Saint Louis down as the Crusaders won the first official “state championship” shutting out the Red Raiders in the final, 19-0. From then on, things quickly began […]

Magic number is 5 for Kahuku’s defense

By Jerry Campany on November 18, 2015

Kahuku coach Vavae Tata is counting more than wins. Shortly after dismantling Mililani in the OIA championship game, Tata’s first response to Paul Honda was ‘That is seven, right? Seven shutouts?’ Sure, the Red Raiders defense blanked the Mililani machine, but the Trojans scored six on a fumble return. Whether it is truly a shutout is a matter of debate, but with those points or without them Tata has his defense on a historic run. Kahuku has to hold Saint […]

Salanoa: ‘It will probably come down to wire’

By Paul Honda on November 17, 2015

In the frenzy of postseason football, the Radford Rams found another identity. The Rams (12-0) aren’t just a run-first, no-holds-barred-defensive minded team. When pushed to the limits, they can adjust on the fly. Saturday’s 48-46 win over Konawaena pushed Radford someplace a bit uncomfortable, yet the result was soothing. Radford threw the ball on the quick Wildcats, and when necessary, they rammed the ball between the tackles on the game’s most crucial drive, taking more than 5 minutes off the […]

Trojans’ Malepeai wishes finalists ‘the best’

By Nick Abramo on November 17, 2015

Mililani’s Vavae Malepeai etched his name into the Hawaii high school history books with his rushing exploits for the Trojans the past three falls. Malepeai, who broke Joe Igber of ‘Iolani’s all-time rushing record in last week’s Division I state semifinal loss to Saint Louis (4,549 to 4,428), has lots of friends and relatives on both teams in the No. 2 Kahuku (12-0) vs. top-ranked Crusaders (9-1) championship game Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Aloha Stadium. Malepeai is not rooting […]

By Hawaii Prep World on November 16, 2015

Kahuku enters Friday night’s Division I title game in the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships as the No. 1 overall seed with a perfect 12-0 record.

Yet, according to the latest Honolulu Star-Advertiser Top 10 football rankings released Monday, the Crusaders are the clear favorite. Saint Louis received 13 of 14 first-place votes in the final poll before the season ends this week. Kahuku, […]
