Elephant in room; elephant package not as much

By Nick Abramo on November 21, 2016

Nobody’s talking about the elephant in the room, and now is a good time to get the conversation started. Or should we call it the elephant package that wasn’t used as much as it could have been? The focus right now is squarely and deservedly on Saint Louis, and more specifically on star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after the Crusaders’ 30-14 victory over Kahuku for the Open Division championship Saturday night at Aloha Stadium. But that focus up until kickoff (actually, […]

The inaugural Polynesian Bowl continues to fill out its roster with the addition of four more players from Hawaii. Kahuku safety Codie Sauvao and linebacker Sioeli Naupoto have accepted invites as has Punahou kicker Jeff Chan and Saint Louis defensive back Jalen Saole.

By Hawaii Prep World on November 21, 2016

A 30-14 loss to Saint Louis in the Open Division final of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA State Football Championships dropped Kahuku out of the USA Today Super 25 rankings on Monday. The Red Raiders finished the season 11-2 and had their 24-game winning streak against in-state teams snapped against the Crusaders (10-1).

Kahuku’s dynamic D finishes a win short

By Christian Shimabuku on November 20, 2016

Kahuku went 24-2 overall in the past two seasons, thanks in large part to a suffocating defense led by its secondary. Starting cornerbacks Kekaula Kaniho and Stokes Nihipali-Bothelho, both seniors, ended their high school careers with a 30-14 loss to Saint Louis in the HHSAA Open division championship game. Though it’s not the way either wanted to end their prep careers, both took it in stride. “They earned that win. Any team can win on any given night and they […]

Tua Terrific: Improv in the Clutch (video)

By Paul Honda on November 20, 2016

It was a night to exorcise Saint Louis missed opportunities in state-title games of the past, including last year’s loss to Kahuku. It was also a night of straight-up, no-guts-no-glory play calling. It was Saint Louis’ night at the end, a stunning 30-14 victory over No. 1 Kahuku. Three clutch field goals by Jacob Tobias, who hadn’t made a FG all season, were huge. But there was no play as crucial on Saint Louis’ side of the ball, as the […]

Defense, Super Subs and a Cal Lee smile

By Paul Honda on November 20, 2016

All systems were go for the Godzilla of all Hawaii high school programs on Saturday night. The No. 1-seeded Kahuku Red Raiders were ready to play air-tight defense and classic, smashmouth football. The blueprint was well defined. Soggy field on a wet night at Aloha Stadium in the title game of the Open Division in the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships. The moist conditions, in theory, would make things better for the state’s premier rushing team, a defending champion […]

Saint Louis senior quarterback Tua Tagovailoa surpassed Chang’s record of 8,001 career passing yards in style with a 52-yard touchdown pass on a deep ball to Jonah Panoke to give the Crusaders a 13-7 lead over Kahuku with 5:36 remaining in the second quarter of the Open Division championship game on Saturday night at Aloha Stadium. Tagovailoa, who needed 87 yards in the game to set the record, completed six of […]
