Leilehua-Kahuku rematch is a bonus for Mules

By Nick Abramo on October 13, 2016

No. 1 Kahuku is a big favorite to beat unranked Leilehua in the Oahu Interscholastic Association quarterfinals Friday night. But the best part about it for the Mules (4-5) is they have a lot to gain even if they lose. They have already qualified for next month’s state tournament, so what better way to go into the quarterfinals than against the top-ranked team in the state? >> A victory would be a mammoth upset. >> A loss? Well, that’s what […]

You see, those same eyes before the game were probably glinting with the wonderful possibilities of what could actually happen with a win. “The hardest part is getting the kids to reach their potential,” said Say, who knows a thing or two about coaching football. He just finished his 26th season as Na […]

Castle’s Maeda sees improvement

By Nick Abramo on October 12, 2016
