Mililani is ranked No. 18 in the CBS MaxPreps National Computer Football Rankings released on Saturday. The Trojans have not played a game yet, but have played in five scrimmages. Four of them were in a game format (timed quarters), with Mililani winning decisively against Leilehua, Kahuku and Saint Louis.

Punahou’s Toner is a major offensive weapon

By Nick Abramo on August 10, 2015

Jet Toner detonated some bombs with his leg in Punahou’s 49-7 victory over Leilehua on Saturday in Wahiawa. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound senior kicker, who was a Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s All-State first-team selection as a junior, unleashed seven high-arcing and deep extra-point kicks in the game. He also booted a 46-yard field goal, but the points came off the board because a running into the kicker penalty was called and Punahou opted to take the penalty and face a fourth-and-1 situation. Those […]

Milton and the fast, yellow monsters

By Paul Honda on August 10, 2015

Scrimmage, game, duel. Whatever and however we think of Saturday’s matchup between No. 1 Mililani and No. 2 Saint Louis, it was both entertaining and revealing. >> Milton the monster There was a cartoon show long ago (before you kids were born) called “Milton the Monster”. An affable, dorky creature, a nerd in a beast’s strangely drawn body. It was made for the 1970s, an era when artists and writers were (possibly) feeling the aftereffects of those fluid and lucid […]

Saturday football updates

By Tiff Wells on August 8, 2015

As always, we begin with a few notes culled from the pages of history: >> Pac-Five and Kalani have never met. The Wolfpack have lost six straight games and Kalani has lost three straight. >> Iolani has not lost a season opener since 2003, when it fell to McKinley. That’s 12 in a row. The Raiders and Kamehameha-Maui have met only once before, in 2008 when Iolani thrashed the visitors 39-0 to open the season. Iolani enters the game with […]
