When then is now: Taulia the Time Traveler

By Paul Honda on September 6, 2016

The numbers paint part of the picture: 31 completions in 54 attempts for 379 yards, four touchdowns and no picks. Eighth-ranked Kapolei’s 40-12 win at No. 4 Mililani on Monday night is a reminder that given the right personnel, the four-wide offense is a relentless, productive machine that can travel through time. Taulia Tagovailoa, pocket passer, is a maestro on the gridiron. He’s a throwback of sorts, not to the eras of the ancient single-wing, veer or wishbone formations. He […]

By Hawaii Prep World on September 5, 2016

Monday night football hits the 808 state for the second time in as many years. Last year, it was lightning that forced two games to be postponed to a Monday. This year, the threat of Hurricane Lester has given us three Monday night games on the slate. Waipahu (2-0, 1-0 OIA D-II) is on course for a first-place showdown against Pearl City next week if it can get by Roosevelt (1-3, 1-2) in the first game of a doubleheader at […]

By Nick Abramo on September 4, 2016

The Faith Lutheran football team got to come from Las Vegas to Hawaii to play a game at Aloha Stadium. Kaimuki got to test its program against a mainland team. It was a win-win for the two schools, who were fortunate to get the game in on Sunday after the threat of Hurricane Lester postponed what was supposed to have been a Saturday game at Roosevelt’s Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium. “I want to thank the Faith Lutheran administration and Kaimuki for […]

Masima’s injury is gigantic hole in Kaimuki’s ship

By Nick Abramo on September 4, 2016

One player does not make a football team, but one player can make a huge difference. It was extremely noticeable Sunday at Aloha Stadium that Billy Masima was not in Kaimuki’s lineup. Where was the bull-like running back/defensive lineman from last season’s Bulldogs? The word in the press box was that he injured his knee in a rugby match in the the spring, and that fact was confirmed by Kaimuki head coach David Tautofi. The Bulldogs could have used Masima, […]
