Simanu ties Waipahu record

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 5, 2015

Waipahu receiver Andrew Simanu matched a 20-year old school record with a 249-yard performance in Waipahu’s 60-34 loss to Kaiser on Friday night. Four of Simanu’s 12 receptions went for at least 35 yards and he caught touchdown passes of 50 and 13 yards while pushing his season totals to 542 yards and four touchdowns in four OIA Red games. Simanu’s night tied Neal Gossett’s 249-yard game against Waiakea set on Aug. 25, 1995. He caught touchdown passes from backup […]

Tom’s triple-threat performance powers Kaiser

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 5, 2015

Nicolas Tom appeared a bit winded after crossing the goal line for the final touchdown of Kaiser’s 60-34 win at Waipahu on Friday night. Hard to blame the Cougars’ triple-threat for being a little leg weary after scoring in all three phases to help power Kaiser (1-3, 1-2 OIA Red) to its first win of the season in a game that ended 10 minutes before midnight. Tom started at quarterback and cornerback and returned kicks for the Cougars. He completed […]

Balance keeps Surfriders on their toes

By Paul Honda on September 5, 2015

In less than two seasons, the brain trust of Kailua Surfriders football has built a foundation of winning. It’s not just the 5-0 record, 4-0 in league play, that proves it. The Surfriders, guided by coach Joseph Hau‘oli Wong and his staff, can change tempo, go contrary to any defensive scheme when necessary, and do it with the kind of maturity that can be rare at the prep level. A 34-21 win over a much-improved Campbell squad was a sample […]


Punahou comes up with impressive comeback

By Hawaii Prep World on September 4, 2015

Yards were hard to come by in the first half for No. 3 Punahou on Friday at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif. So were points, first downs, and just about anything else positive for the Buffanblu. The four-time defending ILH Division I champions showed their seasoned toughness and heart, scoring 22 unanswered points to turn a 15-point deficit into a 22-15 victory over Del Oro (Calif.) on Friday to improve to 3-0 for the season. Senior running back Wayne Taulapapa […]

Hernandez in another Civil War

By Jerry Campany on September 4, 2015

Kapolei coach Darren Hernandez has built quite a coaching tree over the years. But one danger of having so many assistants running teams in the same league is having the fruit from the many branches fall and bop you on the head. Hernandez will have his rematch with former offensive coordinator Jason Cauley on Saturday, a week before he hooks up with Amosa Amosa of Campbell. Hernandez still has bragging rights over Cauley, his Hurricanes beat Na Menehune 30-13 last […]

The night McKinley beat Waianae

By Jerry Campany on September 4, 2015

McKinley will show up on Saturday like it always does, lining up against Waianae and hoping for a miracle. It is not as far-fetched a thought as it would appear, a lot of football depends on how the ball bounces. The Seariders have lost to the Tigers only once since 1973, going 10-1, but that one loss might be a clue on how to accomplish the impossible. McKinley ended Waianae’s season in shocking fashion way back in 2002 by a […]
