Trench Warfare 5: Mika Tafua vs. Jared Caputy

By Jerry Campany on October 30, 2013

This one is going to be either really fun or really boring, as Kamehameha’s Mika Tafua usually lines up all over the defense and they may rarely engage. His favorite spot is as a standup speed rusher from the left edge, though, so Punahou’s Jared Caputy might get more than a few shots at him. Tafua stands 6-3 and a slender 220 pounds while Caputy is 6-2 but weighs 250. IF these two superstars do hook up, we are in […]

Cosbie’s 1st season at Kamehameha a good one

By Billy Hull on October 30, 2013

In terms of trophies and titles, Kamehameha won’t have anything to show for coach Doug Cosbie‘s first season as head football coach. To say it wasn’t a success, however, would be just plain wrong. Kamehameha began the year regarded as the third-best ILH Division I team. When it’s all said and done, there’s a chance Kamehameha ends up ranked as the second-best team in the entire state when the final Star-Advertiser Top 10 poll comes out. The Warriors did it […]

Trench Warfare 4: Marc Ma vs. Daniel Eli

By Jerry Campany on October 29, 2013

The ‘Iolani defensive tackle and the Damien guard won’t bang heads on every play, as Marc Ma flip-flops the side he is playing on, but they will certainly bang heads enough. Daniel Eli, a senior, enjoys a weight advantage at 5-foot-7, 270 pounds but Ma (6-2, 214) holds a decided reach advantage. All scoring is 10-point must, and completely subjective. Round 1 The first time the two engage, Eli gets help from Paul Galang. It doesn’t become a theme, though, […]

Poi Report: Vakameilalo wanted coast to coast

By Paul Honda on October 29, 2013

Kapolei’s Kalani Vakameilalo has gotten the letters and phone calls. He’s nearly an NCAA Clearinghouse qualifier, which is good news for more than 10 colleges that want his services as a football player. The 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive tackle is on the board as a target at schools in the Mountain West and all the way to the East Coast. Among the scholarship offers: Arizona State, Boise State, Kansas, Nevada, Pitt, San Diego State, Washington State and Wyoming. There’s more; that’s […]

Video: #1 Punahou vs #3 Kamehameha

By Paul Honda on October 28, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (post game) Punahou won the ILH championship with a 38-12 win over Kamehameha. It is easy to forget, sometimes, how dominant this Kamehameha offense line and defense were this season. The Warriors have a grand total of two losses, and both came against No. 1 Punahou. It’s been a special year for ILH football. Punahou remains unbeaten after this 38-12 win over Kamehameha, and this follows a string of games that included a trip […]

Video: #5 Farrington vs. #6 Campbell

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (post-game) Epic? Sure, if you love defense forever. It was zero to zero at the half, but it wasn’t for a lack of action. It’s been a long, long time since I’d seen a defensive battle like this, let alone one in a playoff game with a state-tournament berth (and a spot in the OIA Red title game) as a reward.
