Homecoming queen doubles as statistician

By Nick Abramo on September 16, 2017

A few minutes before the McKinley at Waialua football game on Friday night, the Bulldogs’ homecoming queen arrived in the press box and took a seat near the public address announcer. Maybe she was going to give notes to the announcer to read at halftime while the homecoming court is introduced. But no. Lea’a Puleiala took a pen and paper and a scoresheet and started taking stats. “Are you in the court or are you the queen,” a reporter asked. […]

Adkins-Kupukaa has Campbell thinking division title

By Christian Shimabuku on September 16, 2017

The state’s leading receiver is also making his presence felt on defense. Campbell sophomore Pokii Adkins-Kupukaa was sensational on Friday night in a 35-19 win at Radford, hauling in four passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns. He also added two interceptions on top of returning kickoffs and punts for No. 10 Sabers (5-2, 5-1 OIA Blue), who have won five of their last six. “The struggle is real, just gotta fight through it every day,” he said when asked […]

Streak over: McKinley wins first game since 2013

By Nick Abramo on September 16, 2017

Sophomore quarterback Alexandria Buchanan has been getting the headlines the last few weeks for the McKinley Tigers, and she did her job once again Friday night managing the game. But it was a bunch of players around 250 pounds who got it done while the 125-pound girl with the ponytail handed it off with little fanfare as the Tigers broke through for their first win since 2013 to break a 29-game losing streak with a 22-0 road win over Waialua. […]

Rivalry swings Kailua’s way

By Brian McInnis on September 16, 2017

It always means a little extra when neighbors square off for bragging rights. That’s perhaps even more true in a time where the OIA’s current division construction has teams from opposite poles of the island squaring off regularly, instead of the traditional focus on East-West regional play. But Castle and Kailua are, for now, back in the same division, the OIA Red. And that means, for now, a fun annual Windward-side competition. It was renewed Friday night when Kailua headed […]

Leilehua’s Andres making most of second chance

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 16, 2017

Moments after a homecoming win, Leilehua coach Mark Kurisu spotted quarterback Kona Andres sprawled on the turf in the Hugh Yoshida Stadium end zone. “All right Kona?” Kurisu playfully shouted toward the senior before resuming a postgame interview. “He’s tired. He wants to go sleep on the field.” After a hectic week on campus and a busy night in the pocket, Andres had earned a moment of downtime following the Mules’ 51-14 OIA Red win over Nanakuli. A member of […]
