The square roots of Waianae football

By Paul Honda on November 5, 2015

Walter Young the Math Teacher is about numbers. Walter Young the Football Coach is about trust. And roots. And especially, education. As a youngster, his penchant for solving math problems led to a college education, which led to a desire to teach. And a will to coach. As head of the math department, he’s a builder as much as he is a math whiz. The accolades of Waianae’s science program are a lofty standard worth comparison. “The math program, we’re […]

By Nick Abramo on November 5, 2015

It’s Novemeber and the Damien football team is practicing on campus.

The players are reveling in the experience. “Everyone is super excited,” junior linebacker Shawn Borges said […]

Grounded Bulldogs get airborne soon

By Paul Honda on November 4, 2015

The sky is mostly blue with bright white clouds above the lush field at Kaimuki High School. The sun is scorching, but the breeze is constant. The mood is pleasant.

For any football team still suiting up this late in the season, the vibe is certainly jovial. Every day, before practice, they line up in rows and sing their alma mater. […]

Mililani to start another freshman QB

By Nick Abramo on November 4, 2015

Rod York has had to solidify the quarterback position more this season than he has in his whole time as the Mililani coach. The line of succession through the years from Trent McKinney to Jarin Morikawa to McKenzie Milton seemed — to outsiders anyway — smooth and seamless. But, when Milton — the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s All-State player of the year as a junior — went down with a broken AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder late in the regular season, York turned […]
