Bent but not broken: Asalemo brings heat

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2015

On paper, it was a phenomenal performance for two individuals in Saturday night’s Farrington-Kailua showdown. Challen Faamatau‘s 236 yards and three rushing TDs on 30 carries were his single-game personal bests. The 236-yard total, No. 6 on the Farrington all-time best list, is right behind the 245 yards produced by current Govs coach Randall Okimoto against Kailua 25 years ago. Kailua quarterback Noah Auld was scintillating at times with 23 completions in 31 attempts for 221 yards and a touchdown. […]

Vacant throne: ILH chase begins

By Paul Honda on September 12, 2015

When life gives Kip Botelho lemons, he always makes lemonade. The Pac-Five football coach faced a dilemma last week. Three offensive linemen suited up for practice and the rest were out with injuries. A fourth OL returned in time for last night’s game. How did they make do? Botelho has spent his career conjuring up ways to stay competitive while lining up hearty young players who don’t have the girth to dominate in the trenches. That’s why Ferreira, as a […]

By Billy Hull on September 12, 2015

LIVE BLOG: Farrington 19, Kailua 13, F

By Paul Honda on September 12, 2015

Just a few minutes from kickoff here at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium. The modem I use for the laptop is a bit cranky today. I’ll blog via my phone instead so please bear with me. It’ll be a step slower and have maybe a few more typos. JV: Farrington 24, Kailua 19, final. FIRST QUARTER Nice opening match by the Govs but they botch a handoff exchange at the 10. Now it’s Kailua with a lengthy drive as the quarter ends. […]

Leilehua’s field holds up

By Brian McInnis on September 12, 2015

When foul weather turned some fields across Oahu into soup on Friday, those fortunate enough to have artificial turf counted their blessings. The Leilehua Mules were among that group. Aside from some distant lightning raising a few concerns of postponement, Leilehua was able to go ahead with its game against Waipahu without a hitch. The Mules prevailed 38-0, improving to 2-2 in the OIA Red Conference. In the past, the Mules’ field was one of the most susceptible to turning […]

Banged up Punahou squad tested by ‘Iolani

By Billy Hull on September 12, 2015

It was thought that ‘Iolani would be the team to watch out for on the injury front as it makes the jump to Division I. Instead, it was Punahou that had to overcome some injury concerns to pull out a 59-22 win over the Raiders on Friday in a game that was close midway through the third quarter. Junior Nick Kapule had to quarterback the final three quarters for the Buffanblu with starter Ephraim Tuliloa knocked out of the game […]
