It’s a mantra shared by all coaches still competing as the OIA enters its semifinals. Thinking like that is a big reason why they have made it this far. But they may be wise to look at the big picture and realize that all they have to do is win one game in two chances to make it to the state tournament. The OIA semifinals pit Campbell vs. Mililani and Kahuku vs. Farrington on Thursday at Aloha Stadium. Winners play […]
They are serving the greater good, these Damien Monarchs. For longtime, patient fans, the Monarchs aim to please whether by ground or air. It might be enough to take them someplace special this fall. Yes, Damien is back in the ILH Division II final, but some things are different this time around. Coach Eddie Klaneski’s team can hurt any defense that tilts too close to either aspect of the Monarchs’ offense. In Friday’s 42-28 semifinal win over a dangerous Pac-Five […]
Samson Low rushed for 177 yards and two TDs, and Dallas Labasan passed for 171 yards and two more TDs in Damien’s 42-28 win.
Campbell has less than a week to try to ensure history does not repeat itself. The Sabers, fresh off a win over Leilehua in the OIA quarterfinals, put together a nice enough game that it should be able to soak it in for a while. But Campbell won’t have that luxury with No. 2 Mililani looming on Thursday in the semifinals. If anything, Campbell should be familiar with the way Mililani coach Rod York does things. The Sabers will be […]
One of the best seasons a receiver has ever had in Hawaii quietly came to an end on Friday night. Pac-Five senior Tsubasa Brennan, who unfortunately only had eight games to showcase his talents, was on the wrong end of a 42-28 loss to Damien at Aloha Stadium, ending the Wolfpack’s season at 2-6 overall. Brennan, who played as a sophomore but didn’t win a starting job until his junior season, made the most of his opportunities in 2014, finishing […]
Video: Paul Honda. Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) Division I semifinal, Aloha Stadium, Friday,Oct. 17, 2014. Sophomore RB Jahred Silofau rushes for 181 yards and sophomore QB Tua Tagovailoa runs for 84 yards and three TDs in a 47-20 win.
So that’s how you celebrate receiving a scholarship offer from UCLA. Life is good for sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. A 47-20 win by Saint Louis over Kamehameha on Friday in the ILH D-I playoffs was another productive night at the stadium for the southpaw. Even as Kamehameha’s talented defense brought the pass rush, kept coverage tight and yes, even intercepted one of his passes, there wasn’t much they could do to stop the Saint Louis offensive machine. The Crusaders amassed […]
Mililani coach Rod York knows what it would take for a team to knock off his Trojans squad. “If you can’t run the ball (against us) you can’t beat us,” York said. That’s what made Friday night’s OIA quarterfinal game with Kaiser intriguing. The Cougars featured the OIA’s leading rusher in junior Jensen McDaniel and a quarterback in Kalawai’a Judd who is also effective on the ground. Kaiser tried and tried to pound away at the Mililani defense, rushing 42 […]
