Campbell’s Ramos back in football mode

By Billy Hull on August 19, 2015

Campbell junior Markus Ramos spent 43 days away from home this past summer. Trust me when I say it was worth it. The 6-foot-3 wide receiver on the Sabers football team got noticed on the mound pitching for the Trosky Baseball traveling team. Despite throwing only “eight or nine” innings for the eventual state champion Sabers baseball team in the spring, Ramos was impressive enough early in the summer to draw attention from a host of Division I colleges. One […]

Punahou set to defend

By Jerry Campany on August 19, 2015

The Punahou girls volleyball team won’t be sneaking up on Kamehameha this time around. The defending state champion Buffanblu beat the Warriors in last year’s state championship despite losing to them throughout the season. Now it is their turn to wear the bulls-eye. The first look at the Punahou machine will come on Thursday at Iolani’s annual Ann Kang tournament, where they open with ‘Iolani II at 8 a.m. Punahou beat Mira Costa for the tournament championship last year, its […]

Yearly OIA test awaits ‘Iolani

By Billy Hull on August 19, 2015

Back in its Division II days, this was the week that would give ‘Iolani an idea of how it might fare against a Division I schedule. This year, it’s a preview of things to come. The Raiders haven’t been afraid to test themselves against good nonleague competition, playing 10 games against OIA Division I teams in the month of August dating back to 2006. ‘Iolani has gone 3-7 in those games, beating Waipahu, Waianae and Kapolei. Aug. 17, 2013: Leilehua […]

Army offers scholarship to Kahuku’s Sasaoka

By Nick Abramo on August 18, 2015

Kahuku kicker Kekoa Sasaoka has one scholarship offer and two other schools intereested in his services. Army offered Sasaoka in March, and the senior Honolulu Star-Advertiser All-State second team selection is being actively recruited by Hawaii and Cal. The recruiting point man at Army is former Waipahu head coach Sean Saturnio, who is a Black Knights assistant. Sasaoka made the switch from Farrington to Kahuku this season and believes more offers may be coming his way. “My mom has lived […]

Hernandez wants greatness from his ‘D’

By Paul Honda on August 18, 2015

They wanted more. The Kapolei Hurricanes played some stellar defense in the face of Kahuku’s smashmouth attack, but never got anything going offensively until the second half. The good news is that much of the ‘Canes’ difficulties — bad snaps, dropped snaps, dropped passes — are correctible. Not that it softens the sting of defeat, 27-7 at the hands of the then-fourth ranked Red Raiders on Friday night. “Never happy with a loss. I’m never happy with a moral victory.,” […]
