With 383 rushing yards in three games, Jordan Ross has been astoundingly productive for a sophomore.
Scout.com has updated its list of the top 15 high school football recruits for the Class of 2014 from Hawaii. Leading the way is uncommitted Kahuku defensive end Lamone Williams, who is listed at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds. Six of the next seven listed are thought to be committed to the University of Hawaii, although that could change for a couple of recruits, most notably Kaiser linebacker Fitou Fisiiahi. The only player in the top 15 headed to the mainland […]
You see it at every level, from the NFL on down. A team’s quarterback goes down and its fortunes go down with him. The new guy is capable, but understandably just a little bit behind on the reads, and his throws don’t look the same to the receivers. Not at Aiea. Jordan Liilii went down with a broken foot early in the second game of the season, forcing veteran coach Wendell Say to turn to linebacker Mana Kaahanui to run […]
Saint Louis hasn’t been easy on new starting quarterbacks so far this season. The Crusaders shut out Baldwin, which is adjusting to life without Keelan Ewaliko taking snaps, in a 55-0 win on Maui to open the season. A week later, Kahuku sophomore Tuli Wily-Matangi completed two passes in eight attempts for 12 yards as the Red Raiders relied on their ground game to keep pace before Saint Louis pulled away to a 45-24 win. Following a bye, Saint Louis […]
Off to a busy start in Aiea, where Na Alii got a 50-plus-yard interception return for a touchdown by Francisco Jajo on Waianae’s opening possession. The Surfriders got a tremendous kick return by Trensten Spragling, plus a 15-yard penalty on Aiea, to set up a field goal by Pookela Noa-Nakamoto to cut the lead to 7-3 early on. 7:42 p.m. Fullback Mahvan Tau scores on a blast up the left side to give Waianae a 9-7 lead with less than […]
After Mililani’s first preseason game, coach Rod York explained the Trojans’ shift in offensive emphasis as simply tailoring the scheme to their personnel. At times last year, the Trojans went without a running back in a five-wide set and York let quarterback Jarin Morikawa use his smarts and accuracy to move the Mililani offense through the air. This time around, York is calling for handoffs with far more frequency, and with confidence in the offensive line and a back like […]
1:58 p.m. It’s hot as Vegas this afternoon at Eddie Hamada Field. ALmost zero breeze, somewhat muggy and boiling heat. I’m expecting a clash of contrasts, hoping for a crazy pinball-action score. There’s no open space today to shoot video at the top of the bleachers (like last week when Leilehua visited), so I’m “stuck” in the ice-cold, air-conditioned press box. It’s a nice problem. Just can’t hear the crowd. Almost completely. My Pupule pick yesterday was and still is […]
