OIA semifinals set for Saturday

By Jerry Campany on October 15, 2016

The OIA semifinals are set with Waianae’s thrilling win over Mililani. With the HHSAA’s new open division tournament, the games won’t mean quite as much as they have in the past but they will still be the only road to an OIA title. All four teams are already locked into state tournament slots. Kahuku is the favorite to repeat as public school champion, but will have to turn back Waianae to earn the right. The Red Raiders beat the Seariders […]

By Nick Abramo on October 15, 2016

Amosa Amosa was talking to his team after Friday’s 25-7 loss to Farrington. The Campbell players were listening to their head coach intently, when Governors star running back Challen Faamatau — instead of running to the team bus — ran up to Amosa mid-speech and shook his hand. Great sportsmanship. It was another hard-hitting battle between two proud football programs. Amosa was talking to his kids about how Farrington had its team’s mind made up that it was going to come […]

Many (many) happy returns for Kahuku

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 15, 2016

Keeping the Kahuku defense out of the end zone has become just as difficult as scoring on the Red Raiders. The Red Raiders defense has contributed nine touchdowns to Kahuku’s scoring total this season while allowing just four against OIA competition. With cornerback Kekaula Kaniho’s 33-yard interception return in Friday’s 63-0 OIA Division I quarterfinal win over Leilehua, the Red Raiders have scored a defensive touchdown in seven of their nine games overall. That doesn’t even count the seven touchdowns […]

Farrington defensive lineman Foi Sila made life difficult for Campbell’s offense on Friday night.

Sila was part of an immense defensive effort that kept the Sabers off the scoreboard in a 25-7 win. Campbell’s only touchdown came on a punt return. “Foi Sila is a reliable guy,” […]

Another Big Red ‘W’ for the Bulldogs

By Paul Honda on October 15, 2016

In a senior season of clutch victories and championship aspirations, it’s more than OK to have a sentimental moment. After most of the crowd had dispersed at Tosh Nakasone Field, after a 14-12 win by Waialua over Pearl City, placekicker Dylan Hardin made his way atop the press box. All he wanted was a photo of the empty field, its red ‘W’ emblazoned at midfield. The final home game of the season was done. The senior recalled that day more […]
