OIA passes transfer rule (extended)

By Paul Honda on October 29, 2014

(Here’s the longer version of this morning’s story in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.) It was months in the works, but the Oahu Interscholastic Association has made it official: transferring student-athletes will have to sit out one year. The vote by OIA principals was 18-0 in favor of the change. Currently, a student-athlete can play immediately at another school once the transfer process, whether by moving into the district or district exception, is complete. The new rule will require all student-athletes to […]

VB poll: Kamehameha-Hawaii passes ‘Iolani

By Jerry Campany on October 13, 2014

Kamehameha-Hawaii keeps climbing the ladder one rung at a time. The Warriors started the season at No. 7 and steadily knocked off teams until reaching No. 4 in the latest Star-Advertiser volleyball poll. ‘Iolani was Kamehameha-Hawaii’s latest victim, moving the Raiders down to No. 5. ‘Iolani was coming off its best match of the year, a close loss to No. 2 Punahou. Here is the poll, the complete list can be found in Tuesday’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser. 1. Kamehameha, 2. Punahou, […]


Crusaders, Warriors move up; Na Menehune rise

By Nick Abramo on September 29, 2014

With overwhelming wins over Division II teams, Saint Louis and Kamehameha moved up two spots each in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Top 10 football poll this week. The Crusaders are No. 3 and the Warriors are No. 4. Farrington, after its 41-14 loss to Mililani, took a tumble from No. 3 to No. 6, and Leilehua dropped all the way from No. 4 to No. 8 after a 21-14 loss to Kahuku. The Red Raiders moved up two spots to No. […]

College commits spark ILH volleyball drama

By Nick Abramo on September 28, 2014

Kamehameha struck first. Will it be Punahou’s turn? You can find out at noon on Saturday at Kekuhaupio Gym on the Warriors’ Kapalama campus. Top-ranked Kamehameha and No. 2 Punahou meet for the second time this season in ILH girls volleyball. On Sept. 25, Tiyana Hallums had 12 kills for Kamehameha, mostly on sets by Kamalani Akeo, to lead the Warriors to a 24-26, 26-24, 25-21 comeback victory over the Buffanblu. The Warriors trailed 17-12 and were in danger of being […]

‘Iolani to visit Moanalua for exhibition

By Jerry Campany on September 25, 2014

It could be the true state semifinal. The top four teams in the Star-Advertiser’s girls volleyball poll will play each other tonight when No. 1 Kamehameha visits No. 2 Punahou for a conference match and No. 3 ‘Iolani travels to meet No. 4 Moanalua in a benefit. The ILH only gets two teams into the state tournament, often leaving ‘Iolani out. The Raiders have not played in the tournament since 2007, the last time their league was awarded three berths. […]

LIVE BLOG: Aiea at #5 Farrington

By Paul Honda on September 6, 2014

The office is scorching hot this afternoon with trade winds at about 1 to 2 mph. No kidding. Fortunately, I was wise enough to invest in a large Slurpee™, one of my few allowances for 100-percent junk food this week. Aiea is 1-1 after a loss to Kaiser and win over Kailua. There are some interesting pieces who graduated and some interesting pieces in this year’s lineup. But I don’t know if they’ve gelled as quickly as Farrington (3-0) has. […]

Waianae won’t quit

By Nick Abramo on August 30, 2014

With two losses now, it is doubtful No. 9 Waianae will maintain its spot in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Top 10 when the new rankings come out Monday. The Seariders made a gallant comeback Friday night at Raymond Torii Field, but were outclassed 46-27 by No. 8 Leilehua (3-0, 3-0). Despite constant hassling by its defensive line, Waianae (1-2, 1-2 OIA Red) had no real answer for Leilehua’s clockwork offense. And the pressure the Seariders put on three Mules quarterbacks was […]
