LIVE BLOG: Mililani 37, Kahuku 22, Final

By Billy Hull on October 24, 2013

In order to advance to the OIA Red title game, Mililani has to do something it hasn’t done in over 40 years. The Trojans are 0-10 against Kahuku since 1973. Can they end the streak? Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. 4:25 p.m.: Mililani linebacker Dayton Furuta is not expected to play because of an ankle injury. 4:38 p.m.: Just about to kick off. Worthy of note: Kahuku starts only one senior on defense. Five juniors, three sophomores and two […]

Mililani’s defense is for real

By Billy Hull on October 20, 2013

Maybe the headline on this post is stating the obvious, but it’s worth repeating after Mililani’s 21-9 win over Leilehua on Saturday in the OIA Red quarterfinals. The Trojans’ defense is legit. Mililani’s defensive unit failed to give up a single point as Leilehua scored on a fumble return for a touchdown and a safety. The Mules, who had scored 66 against Waipahu and 54 versus Moanalua in their last two games, were held to 145 total yards of offense. […]

We’re set for kickoff at John Kauinana Stadium for the final OIA Red quarterfinal game. Mililani beat the Mules, 44-14, just three weeks ago here.

Rivalry week: Leilehua vs. Mililani

By Jerry Campany on September 24, 2013

After Leilehua beat Aiea to break a two-game losing streak, head coach Nolan Tokuda talked about the secret to his team’s success. “The main thing we learned after two losses is that it has to be fun for the kids,” Tokuda said. “It wasn’t fun for the kids, and that was on us coaches. Now it seems like they are having fun.” The Mules will certainly have fun this week. It’s rivalry week in Central Oahu, time for the (usually) […]

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: #6 Campbell at #4 Mililani

By Paul Honda on September 23, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 The Sabers arrived ready and able to play, jumping to a 21-7 lead by halftime. Solomon Matautia’s 100-yard interception return jolted the Trojans with 5.3 seconds left in the half. The second half, however, was an entirely different story. Mililani scored 35 points and shut down Campbell’s potent offense. The Trojans remain unbeaten in OIA Red West play.
