Fiscal responsibility is utmost in Chris Chun’s mind. The attorney-turned-executive director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association made it through the busy spring season and this week’s athletic directors conference with renewed energy. He’s got little time to digest the proposals that passed the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Directors Association conference before they go up for vote before the HHSAA’s executive board on Monday morning. Without the HHSAA’s approval, no HIADA proposal is enacted. It’s happened often times before: three […]

Among them will be some conventional sets that will make use of tight ends and fullbacks. Like Saint Louis’ Marcus Mariota, Mililani quarterback Trent McKinney was at the combine. McKinney was among nearly a dozen Trojans there, several hours before their spring football season ended with an intrasquad […]
Among the proposals to be offered at the upcoming Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Directors Association conference is a layout for 8-man football. Seabury Hall athletic director Steve Colflesh has worked with the Maui Interscholastic League on a three-year plan that would begin with baby steps. For two years, the league could operate 8-man football as a pass league with teams from Seabury Hall, St. Anthony and Molokai.

Earlier this morning, the original story about Saint Louis’ pursuit of Darnell Arceneaux was posted here. Back on Monday, I interviewed him for a story that was later pulled at his request, and never ran. Now that he’s returning as football coach at Saint Louis, leaving Mililani after four seasons, here’s more of what he contemplated on Monday.
