By Nick Abramo on October 15, 2017

Despite a valiant effort in a close shootout, host Kamehameha-Maui lost to Baldwin 59-47 in a Maui Interscholastic League game Saturday night. The loss eliminated the Warriors (4-5) from state-tournament contention and allowed Lahainaluna (8-1) to clinch the MIL D-II title and a spot in the D-II state tournament, where it will be the defending champion. Baldwin (4-5) is still alive for the MIL D-I championship. The Bears play against MIL D-I first-round champion Maui (4-5) in the second-round finale […]

Tafai’s play sparks Sabers in comeback win

By Paul Honda on October 14, 2017

For all of the offensive-juggernaut highlights provided by Campbell and Leilehua over the years, Friday night’s OIA 10-6 quarterfinal win by Campbell came down to grit and defense. “We felt it would come down to a one-score game. We felt we needed to be up 4 (points) because they’ve got a kicker,” Campbell coach Darren Johnson said, referring to talented Leilehua placekicker Akoni Tom-Makue, who made two first-half field goals. For Tyrese Tafai, Campbell’s standout sophomore linebacker/running back, it was […]

By Paul Honda on October 14, 2017

No. 10 Kapolei visits No. 2 Kahuku in the quarterfinals of the Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I playoffs. The Red Raiders score 28 unanswered points to advance, getting a TD pass from Sol-Jay Maiava to Duke Heffernan on the final play of the first half. With no time on the clock, Kahuku quarterback Sol-Jay Maiava scrambles away from Kapolei’s pass rush to fire a 21-yard touchdown pass to Duke Heffernan for a 28-7 lead going into the half.

Failauga carries Waipahu to OIA D-II title game

By Kyle Sakamoto on October 14, 2017

Waipahu’s Alfred Failauga turned in a super-human performance Friday against Roosevelt. When it was all over, Failauga reminded his coach that he is, after all, human. Failauga rushed 40 times for a season-high 239 yards and two touchdowns, and surpassed 1,000 yards for the season, as host Waipahu beat Roosevelt 38-0 in an OIA Division II semifinal game. “He actually told me after the game, ‘Coach, remember I’m human’ because he was just gassed,” said Waipahu coach Bryson Carvalho. “That’s […]

Kahuku’s offensive evolution: More diversity

By Paul Honda on October 14, 2017

The Kapolei Hurricanes were on the verge of a breakthrough after a season of extreme ups and downs. No. 2 Kahuku wasn’t willing to budge. The Red Raiders are in a metamorphosis, a power-running team for decades on end that can turn to sophomore quarterback Sol-Jay Maiava for the quick third-down conversion by air. That happened again and again as the patient Red Raiders patiently imposed their will with sheer force and precise finesse en route to a 35-7 victory […]

Kamehameha notches breakthrough win

By Billy Hull on October 14, 2017

It was a fitting end to Kamehameha’s first win over Punahou in its last 11 tries. Warriors running back Kanoa Shannon, the workhorse of the Kamehameha offense all season, scored his first rushing touchdown against an ILH opponent on carry No. 162 this season, scoring from 7 yards out with 2:10 remaining to ice Kamehameha’s 44-31 victory over Punahou on Friday night at Aloha Stadium. Shannon, who finished with 86 yards on 28 carries, is averaging 24 carries a game […]

Moanalua ready to build on 2017 season

By Brian McInnis on October 14, 2017

Moanalua knew it needed to play a perfect game to hang with No. 3 Mililani in the OIA Division I quarterfinals on Friday night. Na Menehune sure tried, but they were not perfect, falling 49-14 at John Kauinana Stadium. So ended a turnaround season, one that seemed lost in early September but was salvaged in very respectable fashion. Moanalua (4-6) began 0-5, staged a three-game rally to make the playoffs, then upset Kailua 17-14 in the first round last week […]
