Punahou survives an emotional affair

By Billy Hull on November 16, 2014

Walking onto the Aloha Stadium field mere seconds after Kanawai Noa‘s interception sealed Punahou’s 13-10 win over Kahuku in the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA State Football Championships on Saturday night, it immediately became apparent this wasn’t your typical high school football game. Emotions, as they always do, filled both sidelines. The thrill of victory on the Punahou side after Jet Toner‘s game-winning 48-yard field goal was easy to see. Dejection on the faces of Kahuku’s players after it nearly pulled off […]

By Kyle Galdeira on November 15, 2014

“We’ll be back.” As the sun set in the background of ‘Iolani’s picturesque Eddie Hamada Field and stadium complex, Kapaa coach Phillip Rapozo wasn’t upset or discouraged despite losing to the Raiders in heartbreaking fashion, 29-24, Saturday afternoon in the semifinal round of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Division II State Championship tournament. “We’ll be back … somewhere,” said the coach, who even managed to crack a smile before addressing his squad. “This is just the beginning for our program.” While […]

By Nick Abramo on November 15, 2014

Jet Toner’s 48-yard field goal sailed through the middle of the uprights, catapulting him into Hawaii high school football lore. The winning boot with 30 seconds left along with his tying 35-yarder earlier in the fourth quarter gave No. 1 Punahou a dramatic 13-10 victory over No. 2 Kahuku in the state Division I semifinals at Aloha Stadium on Saturday night. “It was just like every other rep we’ve had,” Toner said a minute after Kanawai Noa’s interception with the […]

By Billy Hull on November 15, 2014

It’s time for the main event at Aloha Stadium as No. 1 Kahuku takes on the school with the most state championships ever in Kahuku. This Trench Warfare will focus on recent Oregon commit Canton Kaumatule (6-7, 290) going up against Kahuku’s Victor Tualau (6-2, 340). Full disclosure, I actually have to write the game story for this so I can only do one TW matchup and I might be a little slow with it. I will try my best. […]

By Billy Hull on November 15, 2014

Farrington senior Breiden Fehoko has already taken care of his college commitment. The Governors defensive lineman is headed to Texas Tech and is set to enroll in January, leaving him settled on his future with no worries. The only thing on Fehoko’s mind now is figuring out how this Governors defense can slow down Mililani in the semifinals of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships at Aloha Stadium. Fehoko and his boys on the defense line will need a […]
