Format leaves No. 2 Punahou out of the state tournament

By Christian Shimabuku on October 27, 2018

Saturday night’s ILH Open Division title clash between No. 1 Saint Louis and No. 2 Punahou at Aloha Stadium had all the makings of a high-stakes matchup. Perhaps too high, as the loser would have its season automatically end in October. After a 45-21 win for the Crusaders, it was the Buffanblu who suffered a season-ending loss despite finishing with a 7-3 record in the first season of Open Division play. They are also the No. 2-ranked team in the […]

Botelho’s hit sets the tone for No. 1 Crusaders

By Billy Hull on October 27, 2018

No. 1 Saint Louis was already amped up for its first defensive play in Saturday’s ILH Open Division championship game when junior linebacker Jordan Botelho was given a clean lane toward Buffanblu quarterback Hugh Brady. Flying off the edge at the snap, Botelho squared up Brady with a clean hit to the chest, planting him on the Aloha Stadium turf. The ball popped loose and Botelho eventually grabbed it, took off for the end zone, and scored on a 5-yard […]

It was a bit of a bittersweet night for Punahou senior linebacker Maninoa Tufono, but he still walked out of Aloha Stadium smiling. Moments after his football season ended with Punahou’s loss to Saint Louis for the ILH Open championship, he had a shout out for sister Mokihana Tufono, a freshman outside hitter for ‘Iolani. His sister’s team upset defending champion Kamehameha earlier in the evening to capture the Division I girls volleyball state championship at Blaisdell Arena.

Q&A: Kale Ane on Saturday’s ILH title game

By Paul Honda on October 26, 2018

There’s an abnormal bend in the frequency this week. A disruption in the force. Or maybe it’s normal at this point. When No. 1 Saint Louis and No. 2 Punahou take the field on Saturday for the ILH Open football championship, the loser will be done for the season. The winner will advance to the state tourney. Such is the cold, cruel and, in the eyes of many, fairest way in the land. League ratios and representation. It is something […]

Punahou shuts out Kamehameha on way to ILH title game

By Paul Honda on October 19, 2018

This was one of the strangest 35-0 games in recent memory. No. 2 Punahou (7-2, 6-2) advanced to the ILH Open Division championship game with a lopsided win over No. 8 Kamehameha (4-6, 3-5), but it was defense instead of the usual offensive exploits that carried Punahou. “The kids performed really well. They played with discipline. Kamehameha’s very athletic with a big offensive line, good receivers, athletic quarterback, so we’re proud of the kids and the way they played,” Punahou […]

By Paul Honda on October 19, 2018

No. 2 Punahou 35, No. 8 Kamehameha 0, FINAL Punahou’s early defensive exploits — four turnovers forced including a pick-6 by Trent Shiraki — did the job.
