The Punahou safety was in the right place at the right time, returning a fumble 25 yards to paydirt, then turning an interception into a pick-6 form 30 yards out, boosting the lead to 28-0 as No. 2 Punahou overwhelmed Waianae 52-0 on Friday night. Punahou finished regular-season play 6-2 overall, 5-2 […]

Punahou beats Kamehameha in playoff preview

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 29, 2018

The 190th all-time meeting between Punahou and Kamehameha went to the Buffanblu. No. 191 could carry far more meaning. No. 3 Punahou pulled away from the sixth-ranked Warriors in the second half in a 30-14 ILH Open Division win on a humid Friday night in Halawa. If the division standings hold with No. 1 Saint Louis (6-0, 5-0 ILH Open) remaining in the top spot, the Buffanblu (5-2, 4-2) and Warriors (3-4, 2-3) figure to meet again in a playoff […]

Punahou’s Liufau causes major problems for Campbell

By Nick Abramo on September 22, 2018

It might be the flowing hair flopping back and forth, but Punahou’s Marist Liufau sure looks like a blur when he turns it on with intense closing speed on a defender. Liufau has been a force as a Punahou outside linebacker for three seasons now and he dialed up another choice performance Saturday night in the third-ranked Buffanblu’s 43-14 victory over No. 5 Campbell in Ewa Beach. No score in the first quarter? No problem. Leave it to Liufau. After […]
