By Paul Honda on October 22, 2013

Here’s how one pupule cast his votes in this week’s Star-Advertiser Football Top 10. 1. Punahou (8-0, 6-0 ILH). Star-Advertiser Top 10: Punahou is No. 1. Wins vs. Top 10 teams: Mililani, Kamehameha, ‘Iolani, Saint Louis. Also a win at Helix (Calif.).

Video: Radford at #10 Kaiser

By Paul Honda on October 22, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (post-game interviews) I arrived at Kaiser Stadium thinking, this would be a prime opportunity for Radford, one of the most prolific offensive units in D-II history, to play its finest game. To achieve peak performance, even (or especially) against the team that was a disturbance in the force. It was Kaiser that blemished Radford’s perfect record in blowout fashion. As a fan, I wanted to see both teams at their best. Maybe it wouldn’t […]

Both coaching staffs at Nanakuli and Anuenue confirmed that Golden Hawks senior Chazz Troutman rushed for 302 yards and four touchdowns in a 54-7 win over Na Koa on Oct. 11. Troutman needed 29 carries to break a 14-year-old school record held by Robert Naeole, who rushed for 274 […]

Tonga, Kahuku defense bottle up Waianae

By Nick Abramo on October 21, 2013

Waianae quarterback Kekoa Kaluhiokalani ran the option offense smoothly all season long. He ran into a major problem, however, in the Seariders’ 45-20 season-ending loss to Kahuku on Friday night, facing pressure from everywhere along the Red Raiders’ defensive front. Kaluhiokalani was tackled behind the line of scrimmage 11 times and finished with minus-63 yards rushing on 14 attempts. Compare that to Kaluhiokalani’s output of 423 yards on 104 carries in nine previous games and the picture of a stout […]
