McKinley has something to build on

By Brian McInnis on August 13, 2016

A ray or two of hope may have just pierced the dark cloud that’s been hovering over McKinley football. A program that hasn’t won a game since 2013 — the Tigers took their 18th straight loss on Friday, 41-14 at Roosevelt — had some reason for optimism as players and coaches departed under the dim lights at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium. Sure, the Tigers (0-2, 0-1 OIA D-II) struggled mightily early in the game as they missed some key starters due to […]

Watson keeps Nanakuli pushing forward

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 13, 2016

After two weeks, there are positions still to be solidified and adjustments to be made. But Nanakuli coach Keala Watson sees the Golden Hawks moving in a positive direction. Nanakuli fell to 0-2 overall with a 27-14 home loss to Aiea on Friday in the OIA opener for both teams. The Golden Hawks scored on the game’s opening possession but couldn’t quite keep up with an efficient Aiea passing game that relied on short throws to move the chains. After […]

Leilehua shows fight despite brutal schedule

By Billy Hull on August 13, 2016

Three teams ranked in the top five in 15 days to start the season? Even ‘Iolani looks at Leilehua’s schedule and says, ‘dang, that’s tough.’ The Mules took one on the chin in their season opener last week against Punahou, losing 70-9. Their reward? An OIA cross-division opener against the defending state champion Kahuku Red Raiders on Friday night at Hugh Yoshida Stadium. Kahuku jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead scoring touchdowns on offense and defense to start the […]

Chargers stick to game plan to beat Kalani

By Jeremy Nitta on August 13, 2016

Everything seemed to be stacked against the Pearl City Chargers as the second quarter drew to a close in their OIA opener against the Kalani Falcons on Friday night. Kalani had just blocked a punt by Zion Tupuola-Fetui and a Pearl City personal foul put the ball on the Chargers 20. With Kalani already holding a 14-13 lead, it seemed that the Falcons were on the verge of seizing control of the game. Instead, the Chargers defense dug deep, stonewalling […]

Inexperience not a problem for Aiea

By Paul Honda on August 13, 2016

Down two starting wide receivers and a starting quarterback, Aiea coach Wendell Say never had a doubt. All he knew was that his inexperienced skill-position guys had what it took, even in the heat of an early-evening battle in the center of Nanakuli Valley. Aiea withstood the Golden Hawks’ early momentum, then fought off a furious rally and returned home with a precious 27-14 victory to start the OIA Division I football season on Friday night. With Kobe Kato sitting […]

St. Francis poised for huge year in D-II

By Billy Hull on August 12, 2016

The 2015 ILH regular season in Division II ended with Damien beating Pac-Five to earn the league title and automatic berth in the state tournament. It gave the Monarchs the title of “champions” which was well deserved. But there was another team in the league that could make a case it was playing the best football of anyone at the end of the season. A Pac-Five win over Damien would have forced a three-way playoff, which would have kept the […]

GAME NIGHT 8/12: Kahuku/Leilehua

By Hawaii Prep World on August 12, 2016

Week 2 of the Hawaii high school football season begins Friday with five games on Oahu and two others involving Oahu teams taking place on Maui. The defending state champion Kahuku Red Raiders open the year on a 13-game winning streak and have never lost under second-year head coach Vavae Tata. This is just the fifth time since 2002 Kahuku has opened the season against an OIA team. Leilehua’s last win against Kahuku came in the 2008 state tournament when […]

GAME NIGHT 8/12: Aiea/Nanakuli

By Hawaii Prep World on August 12, 2016

Week 2 of the Hawaii high school football season begins Friday with five games on Oahu and two others involving Oahu teams taking place on Maui. Nanakuli tries to pick up its first win of the season after losing to Waipahu last weekend while Aiea makes its season debut. Na Alii has won 10 straight meetings against Nanakuli. The Golden Hawks’ last win over Aiea was in 1981 when Levi Esene rushed for 49 yards. Live updates of the approximately […]
