PREP FOOTBALL COUNTDOWN: No. 4 Mililani

By Jason Kaneshiro on July 31, 2017

The experience of two varsity seasons contributes to Mililani quarterback Dillon Gabriel’s comfort and calm in the pocket. Having five returning starters protecting him up front certainly doesn’t hurt. Gabriel made his varsity debut as a freshman, earned the starting position last year and passed for 2,656 yards and 28 touchdowns behind the protection of an offensive line comprised of three juniors and two freshmen. The unit returns intact and represents the foundation for the Mililani offense as the fourth-ranked […]

PREP FOOTBALL COUNTDOWN: No. 5 Waianae

By Paul Honda on July 30, 2017

One of the constants of Leeward Oahu has been and probably always will be Waianae football. From the Pee Wees of Pop Warner (Waianae Tigers) on up to the high school, there’s a certain consistency and tradition, coaching and community pride, that is all part of the time-capsule brand of teamwork that endures. But there’s always something unexpected with high schoolers. Rico Rosario, a bedrock of stability on the offensive side of the ball, nearly upset the cart when he […]

Kaiser football players turn dark into light

By Nick Abramo on July 30, 2017

The Kaiser varsity football team is playing against the odds and so far it’s looking like a ball of fun. The lesson is in front of them. Not football. Life. The Cougars had 17 players suited up for a three-team scrimmage against McKinley and Aiea at the Tigers’ home field Saturday. Another handful were on the bench in street clothes, not ready for action for various reasons. Playing Division I football in the Oahu Interscholastic Association with such a small […]

PREP FOOTBALL COUNTDOWN: No. 6 Kapolei

By Billy Hull on July 29, 2017

Two weeks ago, the rich got richer. Kapolei head coach Darren Hernandez, who led his team to a program-best 10-3 record and a spot in the semifinals of the state tournament in the Open Division last year, already felt great about his defense. Six returning starters hold at least one Division I scholarship offer, and despite losing standouts Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa, Leonard Lee and Omar Mareko to graduation, the Kapolei defense has a chance on paper to be even better this […]

VIDEO: Kahuku at Kamehameha scrimmage

By Paul Honda on July 29, 2017

Though it was extremely early in preseason, the Kahuku Red Raiders and Kamehameha Warriors showed plenty of promise in their controlled scrimmage at Kunuiakea Stadium on Thursday night before a crowd of about 1,000.

PREP FOOTBALL COUNTDOWN: No. 7 Kamehameha

By Jason Kaneshiro on July 28, 2017

Thomas Yam’s first varsity start remains vivid in his memory. “I knew I was going to play, but I didn’t know I was going to go in that early,” Yam recalled of his debut at Waianae in Kamehameha’s 2015 season opener. “But going in there I just had to calm myself down. I was nervous in front of the Waianae crowd and I had to lean on my seniors to help me settle down and just play the game.” The […]

Saint Louis and Campbell bang heads [+video]

By Nick Abramo on July 27, 2017

Near the end of Thursday’s football scrimmage on the Saint Louis campus, coaches Cal Lee of the Crusaders and Campbell’s Darren Johnson greeted one another jovially behind the line of scrimmage. Seeing the two ol’ deep-rooted veterans of football wars shaking hands was a sure sign that the long-awaited high school season is here. And the best joke of the day was at Johnson’s expense. One of the assistant coaches came over to Johnson when the scrimmage was done and […]

SCRIMMAGE BLOG: Kahuku at Kamehameha

By Paul Honda on July 27, 2017

Kamehameha still working out the kinks. Kahuku ends the Warriors’ possession with a whistled sack. Quite a performance by the Red Raiders. ### New QB in for Kahuku. No ID, but he’s definitely not Maiava. Sun has set a hot afternoon has transformed into a beautiful evening at Kapalama Heights. Still a top 3 site to enjoy a football game. The laulau plate sold out early. Mostly Bob Marley tunes piped through the system. Even the backup is not hesitating […]
