Update: Farrington 21, Kahuku 7, final

By Paul Honda on October 3, 2013

First Quarter Kahuku won the toss and defers. Farrington to receive the opening kickoff. Opening drive: Govs mixing it up with two passes on its first two plays, then a double-tight end, shotgun handoff to Sanele Lavatai. More: Another nice wrinkle following a more standard I-set. Govs went to a pistol set, offset I, throwing for a first down. Red Raiders can’t tee off on first down against the Govs right now. Nice play calls. Ace formation, trips right, Montana […]

Round 1 for Farrington, Kahuku?

By Jerry Campany on October 3, 2013

When the whistle blows to end the latest edition of the Kahuku–Farrington rivalry on Thursday night at Aloha Stadium, the winner will almost certainly not have the last word. The two teams have played multiple times in four of the last five years, but will have to make a stand against a tough West team to meet each other in the playoffs. It is a familiar refrain this time around, as the Govs and the Red Raiders represent the top […]

Pupule’s ballot: Voters catching up to Pupule

By Paul Honda on September 24, 2013

Mililani is moving up in the Star-Advertiser Top 10 poll, which means I’m ahead of the curve or just prophetic. Or just lucky. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Polls, of course, are not about predictions. Mililani simply looked to me like the second-best team in the state for some time — since Kamehameha’s loss to Punahou, to be precise. Didn’t really seem that way, though, while the Trojans were down 21-7 to Campbell at […]

Video: #5 Kahuku vs. McKinley

By Paul Honda on September 22, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Mid-season. Sometimes progress and development mean so much more than wins and losses. The Kahuku Red Raiders showed on this night they have the will and the skill to advance downfield with the timing and touch of quarterback Tuli Wily-Matagi. They do have a solid corps of receivers. It just took nine men in the box by McKinley for Big Red to put that aerial show on display. The Tigers played with pride, as usual, but […]

Update: Kahuku 44, McKinley 28, final

By Paul Honda on September 20, 2013

7:43 p.m. The game is just underway. Look for Brian McInnis’ game story in tomorrow’s Star-Advertiser. Kahuku received the opening kickoff and is driving. Ball at the Tigers’ 39-yard line. 9:51 p.m. Injury time out for McKinley’s Pono Kini. He returned a punt partially blocked by Tyrell Tuiasosopo down the sideline to the 11-yard line. Looks like an ankle injury. He was down twice earlier for an injury to his arm or shoulder. Tough kid. First time in a long […]

Pupule’s ballot: Guess who at No. 2

By Paul Honda on September 19, 2013

Still some video to edit, but I’m squeezing this in. For the first time in weeks, we have virtually no debate about who is No. 1 in the islands. But I can’t help wondering just a bit about how good Mililani really is. They gave Punahou a serious battle in Week 2, a closer game than Kamehameha gave the Buffanblu. Even Lahainaluna, despite its lack of strength of schedule, has been impressive defensively. A dominant rushing attack. A dominant defense. […]

Afalava thinks he’ll return sooner

By Billy Hull on September 15, 2013

Soli Afalava thinks he might be playing when the Kahuku football team plays McKinley in an OIA Red East matchup on Friday. It may or may not be wishful thinking, and it depends on who you talk to on how long the Kahuku sophomore running back will be out of action. Afalava, who has rushed for 363 yards and three touchdowns in four games for the Red Raiders (3-2, 3-0), tore ligaments in his shoulder against Moanalua on Sept. 7, according […]

Pupule’s ballot: Still 1a and 1b

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2013

This may seem manic or chaotic or just wishy-washy, but here goes. I voted Kamehameha No. 1 on my ballot for the Star-Advertiser Prep Football Top 10 this week. Yet, I expect Punahou to win on a last-minute field goal against the Warriors tonight. Say whuhhh… It’s like this. The Warriors, my opinion, have proven to be worth of the top spot by virtue of five wins, almost all against elite competition. Punahou deserves the spot, too, but until we […]
