LIVE BLOG: Nanakuli 37, Pearl City 36, OT

By Paul Honda on October 31, 2014

First quarter The 5:30 p.m. kickoff has been delayed for various reasons. It’s 5:41 and now here we go. Nanakuli’s community is here in FULL FORCE. Right on, Golden Hawks. Pooch kick by NAN on the opening kickoff and nobody for PC calls fair catch. They luck out and recover the bouncing ball. PC ball at its 44. PC series 1: First play from scrimmage, Jordan Taamu’s deep post pass is picked off by safety Randon Kahili-Frantela on a dive. […]

Nanakuli’s tribe marches on

By Nick Abramo on October 30, 2014

Protected by the Waianae mountain range on three sides and by the ocean on the other, Nanakuli Valley is a perfect place for a tribe to build a fortress. It’s where the undefeated Golden Hawks call home, and it’s a place that instills pride in the players and coaches on the football team. “Defend the valley,” a slogan on their fans’ and coaches’ T-shirts, is the call heard ’round these parts this year. But now bigger things are on the […]

Crusaders assistant: ‘We just beat ourselves’

By Nick Abramo on October 30, 2014

It was an odd moment, and it is one you can bet will be remembered for a long time by the Saint Louis coaching staff. The Crusaders were in a 28-28 ballgame with top-ranked Punahou in the ILH playoffs last Friday and they had the momentum. The Buffanblu were about to punt the ball away on a fourth-and-two situation, and Saint Louis’ punt-return team stepped on the field. It took a while for Punahou to snap the ball and it […]

York: Mililani is ready for last step in title defense

By Nick Abramo on October 30, 2014

Discipline and hard work are at the core of Mililani’s football success. The product that goes on the field on game days is the result of that perspiration and preparation. What looks like a mistake-free, high-powered, complicated passing game is actually a lot simpler and more error-prone than most people think, according to Trojans coach Rod York. “It’s execution and repetition,” said York while his Trojans (10-0) were practicing Wednesday evening in preparation for Friday’s OIA championship game against Kahuku […]

Embracing the grind: Kahuku prepares

By Paul Honda on October 29, 2014

They’re grinders, this year’s Kahuku Red Raiders. Through any challenge or adversity, they simply keep moving forward. With the OIA Division I championship game just two days away, they practiced in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts. The usual 7 p.m. practice on Wednesdays was moved up to 4 p.m., so they started the workout sharing Carleton Weimer Field with the girls soccer team. Grade checks had been a pressing concern for first-year coach Lee Leslie. One starter will be out […]
