There were injuries galore, penalties aplenty, the odd scuffle and no timeouts spared. Kaimuki’s battle against McKinley at Farrington’s Skippa Diaz Stadium went long and late into Friday night. Maybe it was fitting that there was no working public address in the press box stemming from last week’s power outages due to Hurricane Lane; it was just a weird game, period, with both teams coming off inactivity. Finally, the Bulldogs put to bed a 22-0 win over the Tigers, as […]
Leilehua is so overstocked on weapons that it’s hard to tell who’s the biggest engine that makes it move. There are plenty of candidates for that honor, but it doesn’t really matter. The biggest takeaway is that they can hurt you if you’re not paying attention. Check the stats from Friday’s 63-12 victory over Nanakuli: >> Quarterback Max Nichols, 302 passing yards and five touchdowns. >> Wide receiver Jeremy Evans, six catches, 113 receiving yards, three touchdowns. >> Wide receiver […]
St. Francis’ most prolific playmaker spent most of Friday night on a trainer’s table, his right ankle heavily wrapped. But before and after an injury to running back Jonan Aina-Chaves, the Saints defense set the tone for a 27-13 OIA-ILH Division II win over Pearl City. St. Francis junior Shepherd Kekahuna opened a dynamic two-way performance with a 57-yard interception return on Pearl City’s second play from scrimmage and finished with two of the Saints’ four picks. Tapena Tuitupou was […]
For a brief moment, Mililani held a lead against the No. 1 team in the land. Facing a St. John Bosco squad that had not given up a point yet this season and allowed only 9 total yards all game last week, the Trojans scored on their opening drive and took a 7-0 lead against the team ranked No. 1 by MaxPreps and No. 2 by USA Today. That lead didn’t last long however as George Holani scored on an […]
Richard Kennewell doesn’t do a lot of splashy stuff when he’s on the field. He keeps his nose to the grindstone, running routes, making catches, blocking for his teammates. On Friday afternoon, his value as a defender took center stage in a tight battle won by Clackamas (Ore.) 7-0 over host ‘Iolani. Kennewell’s sack of Raiders quarterback Jonah Chong helped put out the fire just as the home team was seizing momentum in the second half. The 15-yard loss was […]
It was the kind of rarity that had to be seen to be believed, even against Oregon’s defending 6-A state champion. Clackamas, with five returning starters on defense, was dominant on that side of the ball. If not for that, things may have turned out differently for the visiting Cavaliers in a 7-0 win over ‘Iolani on Saturday afternoon. The Raiders didn’t have a single first down in the opening half. In fact, four possessions were three-and-out, and three more […]
There is a video making the rounds on social media, showing Castle football players doing a drill that appears to be seriously dangerous. The video was taken by a parent, who can be heard saying things like, “This is a concussion waiting to happen.” It also shows two players getting hurt, including one who is seen getting attention from coaches. The school and the Hawaii Department of Education have taken steps to make sure the Knights coaches are not putting […]
