Govs’ defense gets it done

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 30, 2014

Farrington gave up yards in bunches on Friday. But the Governors protected enough territory to keep Moanalua at arm’s length in a 47-27 win. Na Menehune generated 577 passing yards with receiver Karson Cruz accounting for 310 and two touchdowns. But the Farrington defense came up with four takeaways, one leading directly a touchdown and the other three coming after Moanalua had moved inside Govs’ 15. Na Menehune had first-and-goal on three occasions in the second half, only be thwarted […]

Moanalua receivers do it all

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 30, 2014

Moanalua coach Jason Cauley knew he had a playmaker in receiver Karson Cruz. He just had to convince Cruz — who also plays basketball and volleyball — of his potential on the football field. “I keep telling him ‘you’re a football guy too,’ ” Cauley said. “You just don’t know it, but you’re a football guy. “I had a conversation with him the other day and I was like, ‘I know volleyball is your ticket to college, but if you […]

Leslie has Kahuku quietly rolling

By Billy Hull on August 30, 2014

After the uproar surrounding Lee Leslie‘s hiring at Kahuku earlier this year, it’s hard to imagine the attention not shining brightly on the first-year Red Raiders coach. Somehow, that’s exactly the case despite Kahuku’s impressive 3-0 start. The Red Raiders continued to roll in the OIA Red with a 41-7 win over McKinley on Friday night at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium. Despite moving to 3-0 and up to third in the Star-Advertiser Top 10 poll, Kahuku has rolled along quietly as […]

Punahou: Must be seen to be believed

By Paul Honda on August 29, 2014

I‘ve seen Mililani and came away impressed, wowed enough to change my ballot and place the Trojans atop my list at No. 1. Sure, Punahou is defending champion and deserves to be at the top until they prove otherwise, right? Well… I’ve seen Punahou now. I’m changing my vote back to the Puns. (Don’t e-mail me about bad nicknames. The school’s publications use “Puns” and I’m about to refer to the team multiple times, so please…) I just saw a […]

Anuenue football moving forward

By Paul Honda on August 27, 2014

As of Wednesday morning, the sturdy Na Koa of Anuenue are hanging tough. Despite suiting up just 16 players against Kaimuki on Saturday, Anuenue is continuing on with its football season. Na Koa will play Kalani on Friday. “We don’t really have a (roster) number,” OIA football coordinator Harold Tanaka said of minimum requirements. In years past, any roster number in the low 20s would draw very close attention from league officials. Anuenue is the smallest school participating in OIA […]

McDaniel carrying the load for Higgins

By Jerry Campany on August 26, 2014

Sometimes, an apple does fall far from the tree. And then it just keeps rolling. Kaiser coach Cameron Higgins grew up in Delbert Tengan’s system with Saint Louis in 2004 and 2005, a balanced attack that kept opponents guessing. But now that the quarterback has grown into a coach, there isn’t much of a mystery where the ball is going to go. Higgins has ridden running back Jensen McDaniel through his first two games at the helm, giving the shifty […]

Mamiya, Milton off to good starts

By Nick Abramo on August 25, 2014

It’s almost surreal the way Ranan Mamiya and McKenzie Milton have been playing, so it’s not surprising to see that they have out-of-this-world stats. In the most simplest and bare-bones way, Mamiya can run and Milton can pass. With burning speed and natural cutting instincts, Mamiya, the Farrington senior running back, is averaging 16.8 yards per carry in two games. What? He also has six touchdowns, and he was barely touched in a four carry, 124-yard, three TD performance in […]

Govs keep rolling, ‘Canes face uphill climb

By Paul Honda on August 24, 2014

It’s not very typical for an 0-2 team to have reason for optimism, but that’s where the Kapolei Hurricanes are. Sure, the ninth-ranked ‘Canes lost 28-26 to No. 6 Farrington on Saturday, but after two games — the other being at Kahuku — they’ve gotten plenty of big plays from their defense and offense. That includes first-year starting quarterback Alton Julius, who threw three touchdown passes without a pick against Farrington. “He’s very good, so we’re excited about how good […]
