Nanakuli scores memorable first win since 2015

By Christian Shimabuku on August 13, 2017

Nanakuli would not be denied on Saturday night. Not with a 10-game losing streak that dated back to 2015 and continued last week with a 51-14 season-opening loss to Division II Waipahu at home. The Golden Hawks pulled out all the stops in Aiea and willed their way to a 12-7 victory over Na Alii, one that included four fourth-quarter stands on defense that would have squandered their lead otherwise. “That’s one of the more unique things about the kids […]

By Kyle Sakamoto on August 13, 2017

Castle’s Makana Smith proved Saturday that he’s not your typical backup quarterback.

Kikuyama broke up a fourth-down pass in the end zone to hold Kalani scoreless on its first offensive […]

By Billy Hull on August 12, 2017

Over the first four years of varsity football at St. Francis, the Saints have tried to keep it simple on offense. Establishing a downhill running game has helped St. Francis go from a 1-8 season in 2013 to a 5-3 record in ’16 in which the Saints contended for the ILH Division II crown before losing to Damien. To take that next step, which they hope happens this season, the Saints are opening things up on offense, meaning the ball […]
