Kaiser closes gap, still has work to do

By Billy Hull on August 9, 2013

It’s no secret Rich Miano wanted his Kaiser football team playing in the OIA Red conference this year. Friday night, the Cougars played their only game of the season against an OIA Red opponent before opening play in the OIA White division next Saturday against Kalani. Kaiser’s defense, with a trio of impressive linebackers in senior Fitou Fisiiahi (6-0, 235), sophomore Parker Higgins (5-10, 199) and freshman Isaac Slade-Matautia (6-1, 185), held its own against a Campbell team that might […]

By Billy Hull on August 9, 2013

The 50th anniversary of ‘Iolani’s Father Bray Classic is Saturday night at Aloha Stadium, featuring the Raiders hosting Kalani in the nightcap. Pac-Five will kick things off against Radford. ‘Iolani will celebrate its triple crown of champions in 1950 and 1951, when the Raiders, under coach Father Bray, won ILH titles in football, basketball and baseball in the same season. Football was the toughest championship to win, as ‘Iolani started the season with a 7-2 loss to Farrington. Two games […]

Football Tour: Anuenue

By Paul Honda on August 9, 2013

Tour stop: Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013 They’ve lost so much production, from Kainalu Kaleo (1,453 yards, 16 touchdowns) and Anuenue Tui (844 yards, seven TDs) to a hearty group of other two-way ironmen, as graduation shrinks the talent pool. Still, Coach Kealoha Wengler and his staff find a way, every year, to keep tiny Anuenue competitive in the OIA White (Division II). Don’t forget, OIA White football can be on par with D-I at times. Parity has been the rule […]

Football Tour: Waipahu

By Paul Honda on August 8, 2013

Tour stop: Thursday, Aug. 8, 2013 The Waipahu Marauders have some basic, key strengths in place. Continuity under Eric Keola and his staff. A returning, seasoned quarterback in Kai Mercado-Aiona. Discipline. Aggression. What they also have is an option attack, something Mercado-Aiona has studied and executed since he was a fifth-grader. When nobody else is running an offense like the option, it gets much harder to defend. In a wild OIA Red West, that could make a big difference. For […]

Matsumoto vs. Okimoto to open season

By Jerry Campany on August 8, 2013

Of all of the games to open the season, none are as steeped in tradition as the game between OIA rivals Farrington and Waianae. The affair, which resumes at Waianae on Friday, pits two of the OIA’s longest-serving head coaches in Danny Matsumoto of Waianae and Randall Okimoto of Farrington. Okimoto has the edge on his rival 3-2 since he took over at the beginning of the 2002 season, and the Govs have won the last two meetings. The last […]

Football Tour: Kapolei

By Paul Honda on August 8, 2013

Wednesday, July 31, 2013 They’ve got nice uniforms. They’ve got tall linemen. They’ve got a few transfers. Only question is, can the Kapolei Hurricanes put it together in the merciless OIA Red West?

Football Tour: Mililani

By Paul Honda on August 7, 2013

Tour stop: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 This time of year, the days go by so quickly. Wasn’t it June just a little while ago? Here are some photos at Mililani. Check out the cool new helmet design. It was drawn up by linebacker/running back Dayton Furuta’s mom. How cool is that?

Three Kahuku QBs have thrown for more than 300 yards

By Jerry Campany on August 7, 2013

Passing outburts have been rare on the North Shore since 1973, with only three quarterbacks throwing for more than 300 yards in the program’s history. Here are those three times: 1. Walter Santiago shredded Pearl City for 325 yards in a 42-7 win in 1987, hitting Keala Hoe for 130 of them. Byron Jeremiah was enough of a threat running the ball that the Chargers had to stack the box, but Jeremiah still gained 144 yards. It was a rare […]
