Update: Mililani 42, Campbell 21, final

By Paul Honda on September 21, 2013

6:10 p.m. Isaac Hurd scores on a 1-yard sneak. PAT partially blocked, no good. Campbell 6, Mililani 0, 7:24, first quarter. This came after a interception by the Sabers. 6:25 p.m. First play after a fumble by Vavae Malepeai, a 57-yard play-action bomb from Isaac Hurd to Jayce Bantolina. What a fake. Threw me and my video camera off a bit. Sabers go for 2, hit the pass to Austin May from the backup QB (#15). 14-0, 5:53, first quarter. […]

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. […]

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 […]


Mililani expects to get back to full strength soon

By Hawaii Prep World on September 7, 2013

After Mililani pulled away from Waipahu without one of its top performers, coach Rod York anticipates the Trojans being back at full strength the next time they take the field. Mililani running back Vavae Malepeai sat out the Trojans’ 39-12 win on Friday due to bruised ribs. Mililani has a bye next week, and York said Malepeai will be back for the Trojans’ Sept. 20 game against Campbell. York added that the Trojans are also set to welcome slot receiver […]

Something special about this Mililani team

By Jerry Campany on August 31, 2013

The Mililani football team had almost nothing going for it early in Friday’s win at Waianae. So the Trojans turned to special teams to make things right. The Trojans trailed 14-0 in the second quarter, punted the first five times they had the ball and collected only two first downs. Feature back Vavae Malepeai couldn’t get anything going on the ground, being held to 16 yards on nine carries, and quarterback McKenzie Milton hooked up on only three of his […]

Mililani’s next great receiver?

By Jerry Campany on August 28, 2013

Mililani had a lot of questions at the offensive skill positions coming into the season, and coach Rod York took a wait-and-see approach.

Video: #2 Punahou at #4 Mililani

By Paul Honda on August 27, 2013

Punahou-Mililani was about defensive stops, in-game adjustments and, ultimately, the poise of Buffanblu quarterback Larry Tuileta.

Mililani’s Malepeai carries the load

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 24, 2013

After Mililani’s first preseason game, coach Rod York explained the Trojans’ shift in offensive emphasis as simply tailoring the scheme to their personnel. At times last year, the Trojans went without a running back in a five-wide set and York let quarterback Jarin Morikawa use his smarts and accuracy to move the Mililani offense through the air. This time around, York is calling for handoffs with far more frequency, and with confidence in the offensive line and a back like […]
