LIVE BLOG: Mililani 54, Kaiser 14, Final

By Billy Hull on October 17, 2014

It’s loser goes home in the OIA playoffs tonight as 10th-ranked Kaiser heads West to face No. 2 Mililani. Kickoff is 7 p.m. 6 p.m. update: Kaiser is off the bus and it looks like junior linebacker Parker Higgins isn’t going to play tonight. He’s got his jersey on but is in shorts and slippers and listening to music while his teammates get ready. Higgins injured his knee in the fourth quarter in a 54-48 win over Moanalua last week. […]

Can Kaiser pull off the unthinkable?

By Billy Hull on October 15, 2014

Since 2005, only two teams with byes into the quarterfinals of the OIA Red/Division I playoffs failed to reach the semis with the top two seeds in each division a combined 24-0 over the last six seasons. Jerry Campany wrote about every upset since 2002 before last year’s quaterfinals. That streak may come to an end this year with highly intriguing matchups across the island on Friday night. The one team which hasn’t been threatened in league play this year […]

Kaiser DB Tom waiting for OK to play

By Nick Abramo on October 14, 2014

A decision on the playing status of Kaiser defensive back Nicolas Tom will be made Thursday, according to Cougars coach Cameron Higgins. Tom was hurt and taken to the hospital in an ambulance during last Friday’s 54-48 OIA Division I first-round playoff victory over Moanalua at Kaiser Stadium. With the win, Kaiser (5-3) advanced to play at Mililani (7-0) in the quarterfinals on Friday. According to Higgins, Tom was attempting to tackle Na Menehune quarterback Kawika Keama-Jacobe, missed and, with […]

By Billy Hull on October 10, 2014

The best of the four OIA Division I playoff games this weekend could be at Kaiser Stadium as the host Cougars (4-3) take on Moanalua (3-4). Kaiser hasn’t won a Division I playoff game in the state championship era (since 1999) and has lost six in a row to Na Menehune dating back to 2004. Moanalua is coming off a strong effort against No. 2 Mililani, losing 46-28. The winner faces the Trojans next week in a quarterfinal game. Kaiser, […]

OIA Division I playoffs bound to be riveting

By Nick Abramo on October 6, 2014

There were some highly entertaining, eye-opening regular-season finales in OIA Division I football last weekend, giving fans one last look before the playoffs start Friday. Kahuku proved it does indeed have a workable passing attack and it made all the difference in a 28-15 win over Waianae. Farrington followed with a 29-27 win over Campbell. Senior quarterback Tuli Wily-Matagi, who went through some early season struggles, looked poised in leading the offense that desperately needed a good showing after two […]

Kaiser shocks Kahuku with its defense

By Billy Hull on September 19, 2014

Everything broke just right for the Kaiser Cougars. After forcing six Kahuku turnovers only to turn them into 13 points, Kaiser seemed on the verge of giving away a potential upset of the third-ranked Red Raiders. But then, with two minutes on the clock, linebacker Parker Higgins capped off a monster night defensively with a big hit on running back Kesi Ah-Hoy to force yet another Kahuku fumble. With one final chance, Kaiser ran the ball 10 consecutive times on […]

By Billy Hull on September 19, 2014

For just the second time in the last 25 years, Kahuku will make the long trek all the way East to Hawaii Kai to play at Kaiser Stadium against the host Cougars in an OIA Red game on Friday night. Since 1973, Kahuku has won 10 of the 13 meetings between the two schools, including three consecutive shutouts of the Cougars, who haven’t scored against Kahuku since a 49-6 loss on Nov. 1, 1991.

Kaiser forfeits season opener to Aiea

By Jerry Campany on September 7, 2014

It’s probably a good thing Kaiser’s Cameron Higgins didn’t make a big deal out of his first win as a head coach. It has been taken away from him. Kaiser forfeited its season-opening win when an underclassman who was later found to be on academic probation entered the Cougars’ 52-7 blowout of Aiea with about 3 minutes left in the game. No worries, the Cougars got a legitimate win two weeks later with another blowout. The forfeiture in no way […]
