Trojans jump to No. 3; Govs back at No. 7

By Billy Hull on August 28, 2017

After posting its second consecutive shutout on the field, the Mililani Trojans made enough of a case in a 49-0 win over Castle on Saturday to jump Punahou for the third spot in the latest Honolulu Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 released today. The Trojans, who also own a forfeit win over Kaiser, have yet to give up a point this season as they hit the road to play Clayton Valley Charter (Calif.) on Friday. Mililani finished one vote ahead of […]

By Billy Hull on August 28, 2017

Despite allowing its first touchdown of the season in a 40-6 win over Moanalua on Friday, the Kahuku Red Raiders jumped two spots to No. 23 in the MaxPreps Xcellent25 national high school football rankings released Monday. Kahuku (3-0) has outscored its first three opponents 101-6 this season, yet is ranked No. 2 in the state, behind Saint Louis, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. The Red Raiders play at Aiea this weekend before heading to the mainland for the Polynesian […]

Kailua’s extra ingredient

By Brian McInnis on August 27, 2017

No. 8 Kailua did a lot of things right in a 40-14 dismantling of Nanakuli on Saturday night at Alex Kane Stadium. There was firm response to a big first-quarter play by the Golden Hawks, a 90-yard connection from Nahum Kipi to Reno Curtis after Curtis had snuck behind the secondary. There was a strong ground game — four players rumbled for 50 or more yards — and timely passing by quarterback Aaron Mejia. Running back Chauncy Gonsalves-Bell led the […]

By Paul Honda on August 27, 2017

The young Farrington Governors made their first-ever win at Skippa Diaz Stadium a big one, a 28-7 upset of No. 5 Kapolei on Saturday night. Chasen Castilliano was part of a Govs defense that came up with big plays all game long. The senior defensive back had three interceptions, including a pick-6.

Farrington’s essential ingredient: preparation

By Nick Abramo on August 27, 2017

Farrington wasn’t about to get kicked around again, especially at home. Despite a slow start this season, the unranked Governors showed just how much pride they’ve got by knocking off No. 5 Kapolei in dominant fashion, 28-7, Saturday night at Skippa Diaz Stadium. The previously super-hot Hurricanes took a double whammy this week, first finding out their 41-7 win over Castle last week had turned into a forfeit loss due to an ineligible player and then getting outplayed all night […]

‘Iolani’s Mizutani joins 500-yard club

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 26, 2017

Asked about setting ‘Iolani’s single-game passing record, Tai-John Mizutani responded with a question of his own. “I hit a record?” Mizutani hadn’t yet had a chance to review the numbers after ‘Iolani’s 57-34 win over Kaimuki in the Father Bray Classic on Saturday. But when he went to the bench early in the fourth quarter, he’d thrown for a school-record 503 yards, breaking the previous mark of 485 he set as a sophomore in 2015. Mizutani became the sixth Oahu […]

Tina-Sobarano has Kalani in good hands

By Christian Shimabuku on August 26, 2017

Based on his ’88’ jersey number and speed, Kalani senior Seth Tina-Sobarano might look like a converted wide receiver playing quarterback. But make no mistake, he’s exclusively a quarterback. And he proved it with his arm in the Falcons’ 57-24 win over McKinley on Saturday night at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium. The third-year Falcons starter was 14-for-20 for 302 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Many of his deep balls were delivered with just the right combination of power and touch. […]

Buchanan shows improvement in 2nd start

By Christian Shimabuku on August 26, 2017

After making history last week, McKinley sophomore quarterback Alexandria Buchanan had quite the lead-up to Saturday’s matchup with Kalani. “It’s pretty crazy. There’s a lot of support coming in from friends and family of course, but also complete strangers, people I don’t even know,” she said. “It’s amazing getting this support from my team. It means a lot to me and I’m pretty sure it means a lot to my team, too.” Buchanan set out to prove that the Kalaheo […]
