By Hawaii Prep World on August 18, 2017

For the first time since 2013, Farrington will take the field unranked in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser Top 10. That same year is also the last time the Govs started a season 0-2, but they bounced back to win the next eight. Can they do it again? The road begins in the Valley against Nanakuli, which earned its fist win since 2015 last week against Aiea. Nanakuli leads the series 3-1-1 but hasn’t beaten the Governors since 1984.

The struggle of shrinking football programs

By Paul Honda on August 18, 2017

The first two weeks of the prep football season offered a mix of questions and validation of the superpowers in the ILH and OIA. Neighboring rivals Mililani and Leilehua meet for battle on Friday night, and traditional rivals Kahuku and Waianae tussle on the Leeward Coast. Division II gets quite a spotlight, as well, when 1) Damien hosts a mainland school at what is now the busiest football hub in town, Skippa Diaz Stadium, and 2) Aloha Stadium hosts an […]

Waianae FINALLY gets Kahuku at home

By Billy Hull on August 17, 2017

Last year before the regular season game between then-No. 1 Kahuku and Waianae, we wrote about the long rivalry between the two schools. Kahuku vs. Waianae: The Crunch Bowl? Since then, Kahuku went on to win its 25th OIA championship, extending its lead over Waianae, which has 18. Kahuku also beat Waianae in the OIA playoffs, making it 17 straight wins against the Seariders. Maybe even more impressive is the four straight shutouts Kahuku has logged against Waianae. You have […]
