By Hawaii Prep World on September 26, 2016

After extending its scoreless quarters streak to 18 against Hawaii teams in a 42-0 win over Moanalua on Saturday, Kahuku (6-1 overall, 6-0 OIA Blue) moved up one spot to No. 23 in the latest USA Today Super 25 rankings released on Monday.

By Nick Abramo on September 26, 2016

Moanalua’s stylish entrance to the football field before one of its home games in 2011 was caught on video and has more than 2 million views five years later.

Na Menehune smarting from loss to Kahuku

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 25, 2016

Moanalua coach Savai’i Eselu arrived at the field on Saturday with a cast on his hand. By the end of the night, he had far too much company on the Na Menehune sideline in nursing an injury. Holding up against Kahuku’s red surge on both sides of the ball is challenging enough with a fully stocked depth chart. Moanalua’s was thinned early in Saturday’s 42-0 loss to the top-ranked Red Raiders, leaving Na Menehune hoping to get healthy in time […]

Kapolei’s defense is immense in title-clincher

By Nick Abramo on September 25, 2016

Head coach Darren Hernandez hadn’t quite done the math yet, so when he was told his Kapolei Hurricanes won their first-ever Oahu Interscholastic Association division title, he said, “We still have to beat Nanakuli next week.” As it turns out, mathematically speaking, Kapolei is the new OIA Red champion, even if the Hurricanes lose to the Golden Hawks next week. And while many focus on the contributions of sophomore quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa and the high-powered offense — and most deservedly […]

Kahuku’s defensive scoreless streak: 18 quarters

By Paul Honda on September 24, 2016

It’s a defense without a superstar, though each of the Kahuku starters are capable of making any play asked. On a night of dominance, a 42-0 road win over Moanalua, it was classic Kahuku. Smashmouth ground attack. Balanced defense, all the rewards that come with a tremendous pass rush — without having to gamble with blitzes too often, if at all. And then there was special teams, where Stokes Nihipali-Botelho, already busy with his defensive role, was a huge weapon. […]
