The threat of Hurricane Lane that caused football games to be canceled or postponed the weekend of Aug. 24-25 has also caused the ILH to adjust its Open Division football seeding procedure, according to sources. The ILH is not going to count either Mililani’s 31-24 victory over Kamehameha on Aug. 18 or Punahou’s 43-21 victory over Mililani on Sept. 8 in the standings.

Q&A: ‘Iolani’s record-breaking kicker, Mika Makekau

By Paul Honda on October 2, 2018

Her 44-yard FG was one of three successful kicks in a 30-19 win over Damien two weeks ago. The win is key to ‘Iolani’s post-season qualifying chances, and she might get a shot at the national girls record of 48 yards before her prep career is done. Makekau, younger sister of current Navy starting wide receiver Keoni-Kordell […]

By Nick Abramo on October 1, 2018

Moanalua senior Natasha Paleafei made sure her hair was under her helmet so as to not give her away. But that effort to blend in isn’t going work any more. Her cover is blown. Paleafei is the starting right guard for No. 8 Moanalua, and the fact that she’s a girl is the only thing that is not quite blending. Ability-wise, she is right there on par with her offensive linemates, according to Na Menehune coach Savaii Eselu. Paleafei, a […]
