FIRST QUARTER Punahou receives. Adam Stack touchback. Ephraim Tuliloa makes the start at QB. Tuliloa has the Buffanblu moving despite a sack after a shotgun snap slipped through his hands. He completes four passes in a row including a 37-yarder on a deep post by Keala Martinson, who injures an ankle on the play. PUN ball at the KS 37. Procedure call on third and 1 messes them up. Toner lines up for a 38-yard field-goal attempt, but the snap […]
Leilehua coach Nolan Tokuda told Paul Honda on Wednesday that he expects quarterback Kona Andres to start Friday’s OIA first-round playoff game against Moanalua. Andres has been the Mules’ starter since Week 2 when he took over for Kaleo Piceno, who suffered a season-ending injury in the season opener against No. 1 Punahou. The 5-foot-9, 170-pound sophomore had to leave last week’s 22-9 loss to Kaiser in the second quarter with concussion-like symptoms. He was cleared by a doctor on […]

Not so long ago, eight seasons, to be precise, a young whipper-snapper stepped up into the spotlight. The two quarterbacks on his school’s varsity team went down with injuries. The playoffs were about to kick off. He was a JV quarterback, and his team was also in the postseason. The call came. Andrew Manley became a varsity starter as a 10th grader, leading the 3-3 Leilehua Mules to the OIA title, and then the state championship. There is a surge […]
In last week’s 51-36 loss to Saint Louis, former third-string QB Justice Young had early success before the tough Crusaders defense slowed his momentum. Coming off the heels of a school-record 374 passing yards against ‘Iolani, Young threw two early TD passes to Kumoku Noa and tallied 381 passing yards against Saint Louis, but finished with four interceptions. Perhaps more importantly, Young walked away more determined than ever to help his team. “I’m disappointed. I feel like let down my […]
Last week, Dillon Gabriel was a junior-varsity quarterback for a very well-trained Mililani team. Today, he’s battling for the starting job on the varsity, the same program that won the Division I state championship a year ago. Gabriel, a freshman who went to middle school at Punahou, chatted with Hawaii Prep World on Monday night. Favorite food: Pizza, Domino’s pepperoni. Favorite food by mom: Guisado (Puerto Rican beef stew). Favorite NFL team: St. Louis Rams. Favorite athlete: LeBron James. Favorite […]
On the topic of this season’s rash of injuries to quarterbacks, Mililani coach Rod York chatted with Hawaii Prep World on Monday night. His QB, all-state first-team selection McKenzie Milton, suffered a shoulder injury three weeks ago against Kailua. HPW: Kaysen Higa has played well since stepping into McKenzie’s role. Is he locked in as the starter even though he alternated with Dillon Gabriel this past weekend against Moanalua? York: Oh no, it’s open competition. It was going to be […]
