The group of high schoolers waited above in the blue section of the stadium as seventh and eighth graders took the field when the event began at high noon.

By Kyle Galdeira on February 8, 2015

As Punahou wrapped up its stellar sweep of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA State Canoe Paddling Championships in the wind-whipped waters of Maui’s Kahului Harbor Saturday afternoon, Kamehameha-Maui athletics director Blane Gaison said calmly “Give ‘em a broom.” The former Kamehameha-Kapalama athletics director, pro football player and current canoe paddling enthusiast has become familiar with watching the Buffanblu excel at the state level in Hawaii’s state sport dating back to 2002 when the state competition was sanctioned.

Story’s facts are iron-clad if head ref says so

By Nick Abramo on February 8, 2015

Head referees in soccer have a lot of power. They can give you red cards and yellow cards and they can call for penalty shots against you if you’ve committed a foul in the box. They also keep official scoring, which turned out to be fairly important Saturday night. While watching Mililani beat Kalani 1-0 in double overtime in the OIA title game, it appeared that the Trojans’ goal was the result of a certain player’s cross being redirected into […]
