Offseason work pays off for Leilehua DL Kiaka Pio

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 17, 2019

Leilehua defensive end Kiaka Pio didn’t mind that Waipahu running back Alfred Failauga broke the state rushing record on Friday. In fact, the Mules junior sent words of respect Failauga’s way after the game at Hugh Yoshida Stadium. For the eighth-ranked Mules, a 23-13 victory powered by a swarming defensive performance were the numbers that mattered most at the end of the night. “I want to congratulate him. We used to play in outside leagues so it’s a big stepping […]

Kailua comes agonizingly close to first win of season

By Brian McInnis on August 17, 2019

The Kailua Surfriders put up points for the first time in 2019 on Friday night. What they wouldn’t have done for a point or two more in a 19-18 loss to Moanalua at Alex Kane Stadium. Kailua (0-3, 0-2 OIA Division I), coming off shutout losses to Punahou (40-0) and Leilehua (14-0), showed plenty of promise against a team that was coming off a signature win — Na Menehune beat ‘Iolani for the first time ever on a walk-off field goal […]

Waipahu’s Alfred Failauga turned opportunity as a freshman into record-breaking career

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 17, 2019

The celebration was somewhat subdued, but the achievement remained undeniable. On the way to the bus following a 23-13 loss at Leilehua, Waipahu’s players and coaches stopped for a moment to commemorate senior running back Alfred Failauga becoming the state’s all-time leading rusher. After a photo opportunity with a banner printed for the occasion, the Marauders sang happy birthday to Failauga after his 186-yard performance pushed him past former Mililani standout Vavae Malepeai for the top spot on the rushing […]

Kaimuki’s 1-2 punch of Jayden Maiava, Naomas Asuega-Fualaau makes the Bulldogs a legit contender

By Christian Shimabuku on August 17, 2019

With roster numbers perpetually hovering in the high teens to low 30’s during David Tautofi’s tenure at Kaimuki, the Bulldogs have relied on a quality over quantity approach. That philosophy has churned out Sama Paama, who starred for the Bulldogs as a two-way lineman before signing with Washington, where he is a freshman this fall. This year, the quality seems to reside in the backfield, where quarterback Jayden Maiava and running back Naomas Asuega-Fualaau combine to form one of the […]

Roosevelt’s Aalona Monteilh follows in footsteps of his uncle

By Nick Abramo on August 16, 2019

A kid by the name of Keao Monteilh intercepted four passes for Saint Louis in his first high school start 17 years ago. That Monteilh evolved into a fine college player at the University of Hawaii. Now, his nephew is doing big things in high school for Roosevelt. Aalona Monteilh, whose father Anthony is Keao’s brother, was a defensive presence in Roosevelt’s 28-7 victory over Waialua at the Bulldogs’ Toshiyuki Nakasone Field on Friday night. In the first quarter, he […]

Quarterback battle possibly brewing at ‘Iolani

By Kyle Sakamoto on August 16, 2019

If ‘Iolani has learned anything in the early season, it is a team which has two capable quarterbacks. Senior Jonah Chong, last season’s starter, and junior Samuel Faumuina both had their moments in a 31-10 triumph over host Aiea in an OIA-ILH Division I game Friday. Chong, a senior, received most of the playing time over the Raiders’ first two games, completing 15 of 30 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns. Faumuina was 3-for-7 for 55 yards and a […]

Freshman John-Keawe Sagapolutele comes through in crunch time for No. 2 Punahou

By Billy Hull on August 16, 2019

Patience. No. 2 Punahou needed a lot of it Friday against No. 6 Kamehameha and is going to need a lot more of it as it grinds its way through the OIA-ILH Open Division slate. Held scoreless for three quarters, the Buffanblu bided their time until they got the game-turning play on special teams — a blocked punt courtesy of senior Alaka’i Gilman. Senior Koa Eldredge then caught two touchdown passes from freshman John-Keawe Sagapolutele in a five-minute span in the […]
