Top-ranked Saint Louis fit the billing with a 49-7 win over No. 5 Waianae on Saturday night at Raymond Torii Field. The defending champions were in mid-season form on both sides of the ball, led by senior quarterback Chevan Cordeiro on offense.


Lee: ‘We can’t just live on tonight’s win’

By Paul Honda on August 6, 2017

One game into the 2017 football season, Cal Lee isn’t losing an iota of competitive edge. If anything, the Saint Louis football coach is as hungry as ever to build the Crusaders into a championship team for the second time in as many seasons. A 49-7 win at No. 5 Waianae on Saturday night did little to soften his long-range goals for the top-ranked Crusaders. “I like what I saw, but I think we can get better. We can’t just […]

Waianae learns lessons in loss to No. 1 Saint Louis

By Paul Honda on August 6, 2017

They’re not clones by any means, but the Waianae Seariders aren’t a whole lot different from the Farrington Governors at this point. Both teams, ranked in the Star-Advertiser top 10, are relatively young. Each has a massive number of first-year starters. Farrington lost to an ILH powerhouse, Kamehameha, 24 hours before Waianae took on ILH and state defending champion Saint Louis. Waianae, though, does have more returnees with experience. There just wasn’t much the Seariders could do when Saint Louis’ […]

By Christian Shimabuku on August 6, 2017

Pac-Five’s Makana Bertelmann fractured his leg on Friday night in the first quarter of a 27-7 win over McKinley. It took almost an hour between the injury occurring and the ambulance tending to him before play resumed again. “That’s the thing that I don’t like about football — those bad injuries. That’s part of the game but I can never get used to it,” Pac-Five head coach Kip Botelho said. “It was tough for our kids to get going after […]

Injury dampens Damien’s opening win

By Billy Hull on August 5, 2017

Damien coach Eddie Klaneski said the Monarchs suited up 32 players for Saturday’s 42-7 season-opening win against Castle in Kaneohe. That forced many to play both ways, but the one area Klaneski said the Monarchs were OK at was in the trenches. “We only had one or two guys play both ways (on the line),” Klaneski said. That depth will be tested early as the Monarchs lost starting center Magnus Fonoti-Faumuina to a knee injury in the third quarter. Fonoti-Faumuina, […]
