Q&A: Mililani coach Rod York on the showdown with No. 1 Saint Louis

By Paul Honda on September 26, 2019

One game, 19 future FBS players. No football program matches Saint Louis this year, but Mililani is matched by almost no one else. The Trojans have seven players with FBS-level offers and/or commitments so far. Mililani was a winning program with a solid tradition. Rod York became head coach a decade ago and went into lab mode. He tested. He tweaked. He refined. The establishment of a JPS program was also key, and now players arrive at the high school […]

By Jerry Campany on September 25, 2019

Saint Louis receiver-turned-emergency running back Koali Nishigaya has been nominated for the USA Today’s Super25 player of the week.

RANKINGS: Punahou makes it a clean sweep for No. 2

By Billy Hull on September 23, 2019

The race for No. 2 in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 this season has been fascinating from the opening week. Punahou started the season ranked second and held the spot for two weeks before Mililani edged past the Buffanblu with wins over Campbell and Kahuku. The Trojans kept their No. 2 ranking for a month, but the two teams split their second-place votes evenly among the 10 voters last week and finished in a tie for the first time. […]

Campbell’s Jonan Aina-Chaves hits career rushing milestone

By Billy Hull on September 23, 2019

After playing for two years at St. Francis, running back Jonan Aina-Chaves was forced to transfer schools for his senior season. The only returning Star-Advertiser All-State first-team selection to find a new home in the offseason, Aina-Chaves got off to a slow start for Campbell but has picked it up over the last three weeks. The 5-foot-8, 180-pound workhorse averaged less than 50 yards rushing a game before a recent three-game winning streak by the Sabers in which he has […]
