Kamehameha football

Kamehameha’s clutch gene is alive and well. Coaches and media granted the Warriors 10 of 12 possible first-place votes in today’s Star-Advertiser Football Top 10. That makes it four weeks in a row with Kamehameha a No. 1 ranking, including the last three as an outright top-ranked team. Kamehameha rallied past Saint Louis, 34-31, on Friday to seal the top seed in the ILH Open Division playoffs. Kahuku won handily at Kapolei, 41-7, and rose from No. 4 to a […]

Like the wind, momentum is a fickle fiend one minute. A precious friend the next. Kamehameha’s second narrow in over Saint Louis in as many tries betrayed all kinds of trends and theories.

Bartley, better known to family and friends by his middle name, Sio, is featured in today’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Off the field, a friendly young man with a smile for everyone. Between the lines, a […]

This time, there is no tie. Kamehameha collected seven first-place votes to claim the No. 1 ranking in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 on Monday. The Warriors’ 35-28 win over No. 5 Punahou, coupled with a bye week for Saint Louis, broke the tie that existed in last week’s poll. Saint Louis dropped to No. 2, the first time the Crusaders have been absent from the top spot since 2016. The rest of the Top 10 remains virtually the same […]

One teammate calls them Kamehameha’s version of the Legion of Boom, the once-heralded secondary with the Seattle Seahawks. “I’d call them that,” running back Noah Bartley said. “They don’t have a nickname yet. All of them can hit. Even at practice, they want to go up on me.” For all intents and purposes in this pandemic era, they might be a Legion of Zoom, from each defensive back to the coaches. For a second weekend in a row, Kamehameha was […]
