Manu ‘leaning’ toward Oregon

By Nick Abramo on September 22, 2014

Mililani senior defensive tackle Rex Manu confirmed Monday that he is not committed to any school at this point. He was once orally committed to Stanford, but recently de-committed from the Cardinal. There was recent speculation that Manu conmitted to Oregon, but he said that is not the case after Monday’s practice. “I was watching a game with an Oregon hat on (the Ducks’ win over Michigan State on Sept. 5, during a recruiting visit) and somebody took pictures of […]

‘Bad call’ took away Castle’s momentum

By Nick Abramo on September 20, 2014

Castle coach Nelson Maeda called a timeout to tell the officials that the call they made could be a game-changer. And he was right, but the officials didn’t change what both Maeda and Waianae coach Daniel Matsumoto termed a “bad call” after the Seasiders’ 21-13 win Friday night at Raymond Torii Field. With the Knights leading 7-0, a short pass by Stephen Lee appeared to fall incomplete. But Waianae’s Mosiah Brame picked the ball off the ground and ran 22 […]

Kapolei’s defense draws the line

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 20, 2014

Kapolei defensive coordinator Brad Hewahewa made his line a promise. “I told them if I ever get interviewed the first guys I’m going to (mention) is the D-line,” Hewahewa said. Hewahewa got that chance after the Hurricanes’ 20-0 homecoming night shutout of Kailua on Friday. The Hurricanes held Kailua to 127 yards in total offense, 43 coming on the Surfriders’ final possession, and Hewahewa was quick to credit the defensive front. “I always tell them it starts with the D-line,” […]

When Trojans look like Ducks

By Paul Honda on September 20, 2014

Rod York was a defensive lineman at UH. He’s now the engineer of a offense that scores 53 points per game. That’s what being an observant, logical and intuitive student of the game can do. For two quarters, his Mililani Trojans were stifled. Sure, they had 15 points on the scoreboard at James Campbell High School. But if not for one of Tielu Mamea’s three interceptions, which led to a Trojans touchdown shortly before halftime, the men of Troy could […]

Kaiser shocks Kahuku with its defense

By Billy Hull on September 19, 2014

Everything broke just right for the Kaiser Cougars. After forcing six Kahuku turnovers only to turn them into 13 points, Kaiser seemed on the verge of giving away a potential upset of the third-ranked Red Raiders. But then, with two minutes on the clock, linebacker Parker Higgins capped off a monster night defensively with a big hit on running back Kesi Ah-Hoy to force yet another Kahuku fumble. With one final chance, Kaiser ran the ball 10 consecutive times on […]

LIVE BLOG: Kaiser 20, Kahuku 19, final

By Billy Hull on September 19, 2014

For just the second time in the last 25 years, Kahuku will make the long trek all the way East to Hawaii Kai to play at Kaiser Stadium against the host Cougars in an OIA Red game on Friday night. Since 1973, Kahuku has won 10 of the 13 meetings between the two schools, including three consecutive shutouts of the Cougars, who haven’t scored against Kahuku since a 49-6 loss on Nov. 1, 1991.
