By Paul Honda on April 11, 2015

No. 6 Saint Louis (6-5) vs. No. 10 Punahou (4-6) Nice crowd here at Patsy Mink Central Oahu Regional Park in Waipio for another key ILH matchup. The race is so tight that virtually every game is key.

The Buffanblu had runners at the corners with no outs against Crusaders […]

Jamboree caps girls hoops season

By Paul Honda on February 16, 2015

For once, Chanelle Molina isn’t on a title-winning basketball team. The Konawaena junior guard, who led her team to the Division I state championship on Friday, watched as two other teams competed for the high-school division crown at the annual Mufi Hannemann Jamboree on Monday afternoon at Manoa Valley District Park gym. “I’m good. This is a lot of fun,” she said after Team Green beat Team Red 42-30 for the title. Team Green was powered by Lahainaluna’s active post, […]

Thrones, titles and green banners

By Paul Honda on February 14, 2015

In the big picture, it was more than a victory for House Awa in this roundball game of thrones.  It was a celebration for all the sisters and nieces, uncles and aunties, grandmas and grandpas who made Konawaena’s latest state championship happen. It just occurs to be 2015, and in a span of 12 seasons, Bobbie Awa and her staff have firmly and persistently guided their players to a half-dozen crowns.  As expected, it was a close battle for more […]

By Paul Honda on December 11, 2014

Got here (Moanalua) to the OIA-ILH Challenge after covering the Konawaena-Miramonte INSTANT CLASSIC girls hoops matchup at ‘Iolani. Leilehua had a 22-18 halftime lead, but yielded to Kamehameha’s persistent defense, and the Warriors won 48-43 behind Jayden Zarriello’s 19 points.

Surfing a big wave

By Paul Honda on November 30, 2014

After a 3-0 start to preseason, Kailua lost both of its road games against ILH powerhouses this week. Even in defeat, their improvement from one night to another has been drastic, and coach Mandy Llamedo knows it. “We played three solid quarters of basketball. They went on a run in the fourth quarter. It’s tough when a team that shoots that well turns it up,” she said. “They’re going to hit eventually. If we had taken care of the ball […]
