Barquis is Mililani’s ‘Mighty’ 5-foot-1 RB (w/video)

By Nick Abramo on November 15, 2018

There are plenty of Mililani football players whose contributions could be described as mighty. But there is only one with who gets to use a capital M … and it’s not the obvious guess — the 6-foot, 250 pound Kilifi Malepeai. We’re talking about senior Dreyston Barquis. He is 5 feet 1 and 140 pounds, and his teammates call him “Mighty” — a reference to the Mighty Mouse cartoon character. Unlike Malepeai, Barquis does not enjoy star status, at least […]

Q&A: Cal Lee on facing Kahuku once again

By Paul Honda on November 15, 2018

Cal Lee knows what National Letter of Intent Signing Day can be like for college coaches. His years at Hawaii, at this time of year, was about receiving faxes from recruits. Tying up loose ends. Fortifying the Warrior defense. In his four seasons at Kalani as an assistant, and now his fifth season, in his second go-round at Saint Louis — 28th season in prep football — he’s on the other side of the connection. His unbeaten Saint Louis Crusaders […]

By Nick Abramo on November 15, 2018

Campbell is not quite the same team that played most of this regular football season. The fifth-ranked Sabers (8-4), who play in the state Open Division semifinals against second-ranked Mililani (9-2) Friday evening at Aloha Stadium, have made adjustments and the whole package is now a bit more snug. “We needed to go with guys who are going to make plays, and we’ve got playmakers who can make plays,” Campbell coach Darren Johnson said Wednesday. “This is about the team, […]

Due to sloppy field, Kahuku commutes to practices

By Nick Abramo on November 15, 2018

There are only a few so-called five-star football programs in Hawaii and Kahuku is one of them. But the fourth-ranked Red Raiders’ practice field gets only one star. This week, with a mega game coming up against Saint Louis in the state Open Division semifinals on Friday at Aloha Stadium, Kahuku has spent some time on the bus traveling to Farrington and Castle, where there is artificial turf and solid white lines and numbers standing out brilliantly against the solid […]

CLOSING THE BOOK: ‘Iolani Raiders

By Jerry Campany on November 13, 2018

The ‘Iolani Raiders made it to the state tournament only to lose by a single point to Waipahu. It’s the second time an ‘Iolani team has had to board the bus wondering where they could have squeezed out one more point in a state tournament game. ‘Iolani’s Wendell Look joined Saint Louis’ Cal Lee as the only coaches to lose multiple games by a single point in the state tournament. Despite that, the Raiders can still look back and consider […]

By Paul Honda on November 13, 2018

He is Hee. Marcus Hee grew up loving football and making a plan for success around football. As of mid-November, 2018, the Roosevelt senior safety/linebacker has made many of those dreams come true, and the season is not over yet for the OIA Division II champions. With Roosevelt (12-1) preparing for two-time defending state champion Lahainaluna this week, Hee is locked in. He chatted with Hawaii Prep World on Sunday about mom’s home cooking, early-morning workouts and another dream: to […]

Kahooilihala: Lunas are great, Rough Riders love a challenge

By Paul Honda on November 11, 2018

Twelve is such a beautiful number for Rough Rider nation. Roosevelt is an amazing 12-1 after a typical gut-check victory.
