Governors: ‘All about business now’

By Paul Honda on November 13, 2014

It isn’t quite 3 o’clock yet on this Thursday afternoon, but the Farrington Governors are on the field. It’s a row and another row and another. Practice begins this way every day. The Governors don’t just shout it out. They sing their alma mater. They use finesse. They enunciate every word of a song burned deep into their memory banks, standing under a hot sun, wearing their shoulder pads, shorts and cleats. The helmets go on after the song, which […]

By Nick Abramo on November 12, 2014

Mililani coach Rod York isn’t taking the state tournament first-round bye that his team earned for granted. “Heal up, rest up,” York said. “Stay healthy, that’s what we’re trying to do.” The last two days, the second-ranked Trojans (11-0) practiced for 45 minutes each. On Thursday, York said, they will taper it off a little in preparation for Saturday’s 4:30 p.m. Division I semifinal game against No. 4 Farrington. “The practices are at a high level, though,” he added. York […]

Punahou loose, focused, hungry

By Paul Honda on November 12, 2014

TThe campus is bustling, as always, at Punahou School. Things can get hectic between classrooms, homework and practice. The Buffanblu football team finds good use for little breaks here and there. With practice still a few minutes from starting, they got on the field and had some nice, loud fun kicking a soccer ball into a goal. By 4 p.m. sharp, they were running from sideline to sideline. It was just helmets and pads on this Wednesday afternoon, but work […]

UCLA was the first to offer the 6-foot-1, 190-pound sophomore. Then came Texas Tech, which operates the four-wide, run-and-shoot under coach Kliff Kingsbury. The southpaw passed for 2,571 yards and […]
