By Hawaii Prep World on October 28, 2016

It’s title night in the OIA at Aloha Stadium with the Division I and Division II OIA championship games taking place. The Division II battle features 2006 and ’11 OIA D-II champion Waipahu (8-1) against Waialua (6-2), which is looking to end a 61-year title drought. The Marauders avenged their only loss of the season with a 13-7 win over Pearl City last weekend in the semifinals. Waipahu is the only team on Oahu with a 1,000-yard passer (Braden Amorozo) […]

North Shore unites at Aloha Stadium

By Nick Abramo on October 28, 2016

Right now, the Waialua Bulldogs are playing for their first football league championship since 1955 and it doesn’t hurt to have the whole North Shore on your side. A little magic blessing from Kahuku, the defending Division I state football champions from the Eastern end, can’t hurt. Well, Waialua — from the Western end of the North Shore — just happens to be on the Mauka sideline at Aloha Stadium for its Oahu Interscholastic Association Division II title game against […]

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2016

NERDPOD: Running backs v3.0 The Star-Advertiser and Hawaii Prep World’s Paul Honda breaks down some of the best running backs in the state. Wow. Wowowow.

Yet, he never stays down for long. He gets back up and keeps answering the call. Today, we take a look at […]

Waialua could end 61-year league title drought

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2016

Few places on Oahu have gone unchanged over the decades. Waialua remains as vibrant and serene as ever, in its quiet, understated way. Lifetime residents — and coaches — would have it no other way. When the Waialua Bulldogs face Waipahu on Friday night for the OIA Division II football championship, they’ll be chasing history. Waialua placed first the OIA Blue in 1992 when the league had Red, White and Blue Conferences. There were no conference playoffs. Instead, the top […]

Last (seeded) and Furious: Baldwin fans irate

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2016

Silent but furious. According to longtime Maui News sportswriter Robert Collias, that’s the state of most Baldwin football fans — and island media — this week since learning that their team is the lowest seed — fourth — when the HHSAA Division I State Championships kick off Nov. 4. The Bears won the Maui Interscholastic League D-I title, but found themselves parked behind top seed Hilo, Campbell and ‘Iolani when the seedings were released on Monday. Irked? Some fans were. […]
