Balance is always a luxury for most offenses, but the Campbell Sabers are finding that they can be less predictable and very explosive by air and land. The Sabers overwhelmed Aiea 48-13 on Saturday, pounding on the ground just one week after taking to the air against Farrington.
Three games into the Darren Johnson era at Campbell — including a 2-0 start to OIA regular-season play — the Sabers are finding their new identity. A week after junior quarterback Krenston Kaipo passed for 386 yards in a win over Farrington, the seventh-ranked Sabers found more running room in a 48-13 win over a pesky Aiea squad on Saturday night at Campbell. The Sabers rushed 26 times for 163 yards while Kaipo was 9-for-16 with 191 passing yards. That […]
No June Jones. No Taulia Tagovailoa. No problem. The Kapolei offense is in fine hands with new offensive coordinator Amosa Amosa, new quarterback Kaniala Kalaola and … the head coach who has been there since the start of the Hurricanes football program — Darren Hernandez. The thinking by many in the preseason was that without Jones as OC and without Tagovailoa at QB, the Kapolei offense would be nowhere near where it was last year, when the Hurricanes made it […]
Pearl City and Roosevelt meet in the second game of a doubleheader tonight at Aloha Stadium in what has always been an entertaining series. The series is tied 7-7-1 but Pearl City has won the last five dating back to a tie in 2007. Roosevelt’s last win over Pearl City was way back in 2002. These teams have never played each other at Aloha Stadium. Roosevelt hasn’t won at Aloha Stadium since beating Aiea in 1992, a span of nine […]
Two teams with opposite results to open the season meet in the first game of a doubleheader tonight at Aloha Stadium. Kaimuki is coming off an impressive 63-0 blowout of defending OIA D-II champion Waialua while Kalani suffered a 22-16 overtime loss to Pearl City after an incredible fourth quarter comeback to force the extra period. Kaimuki Bulldogs (1-0, 1-0) Head coach: David Tautofi 2017 Bulldogs roster VS. Kalani Falcons (0-1, 0-1) Head coach: Scott Melemai 2017 Falcons roster Kaimuki […]
No. 5 Kapolei is looking for its first 3-0 start to the season since 2007 when it hosts Castle, which got a win last week over Radford. NOTES: Kapolei leads the series 4-1. The Hurricanes and Knights have played each other in each of the last three years with Kapolei winning each time. Kapolei pitched three straight shutouts against Castle from 2012-2015. Kapolei has never had a 100-yard rusher against Castle. Darren Hernandez has never lost to Castle on Kapolei’s […]
Aiea has not beaten Campbell since 2010, a string of seven straight losses. Wendell Say is 4-10 all time against Campbell and 3-3 against Darren Johnson. Aiea has not had a 100-yard rusher against Campbell since Pepe Lopez had 166 in 1989, a span of 15 games. Campbell leads the series 15-8. Krenston Kaipo was the third quarterback to throw for more than 300 yards for a Darren Johnson-coached team last week, joining Ranson Kepa of 2002 Kailua (373 yards) […]
McKinley leads the series 12-8 but Kalaheo won last year’s meeting for its only victory of the season. Kalaheo has never won the week after forfeiting a game. McKinley has not won a game since 2013, a span of 26 games with four forfeits included. Kalaheo pass vs. McK: Shon Flores, 211 yards in 1994 Kalaheo rush vs. McK: Eldon Lee, 125 yards in 1990 Kalaheo receiver vs. McK: Julius Nofo, 140 yards in 1993. McK pass vs. Kalaheo: Abel […]
