Punahou visited Waianae for the first time since 2006 on Friday night and ran away with a 52-0 victory. Hugh Brady passed for three touchdowns and Alaka‘i Gilman returned a fumble and an interception for two TDs. Video: Paul Honda.
It’s not often a defensive player scores a touchdown. Or two touchdowns. In a span of 18 seconds. For Alaka‘i Gilman, it was a second quarter to remember. 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 […]
No. 2 Punahou 52, Waianae 0, FINAL Punahou tacks on a TD with reserves on offense. Theo Chun carries the ball four times on this drive, scoring from the 1. PUNAHOU 52, WAIANAE 0, 2:41, Q4. Horn drills a 32-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter, but oddly, the clock still shows 12:00. There was no untimed down at the end of the third stanza. PUNAHOU 45, WAIANAE 0, 12:00, Q4. ———- Third quarter ends with […]

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 […]
No. 3 Punahou 30, No. 6 Kamehameha 14, FINAL Terrell picks up 33 yards then carries for 1 and that’ll do it. Keone back in for Kamehameha and his second-down pass is intercepted by Jonah Henry at the Warriors’ 41. 1:37 Q4. Intentional grounding leads to a three-and-out, Punahou punts. 1:46 Q4. Serrao returns the kickoff 38 yards to the 40. Togiai back in at QB for Kamehameha. After a holding call, Togiai scrambles for 4 yards then takes a […]
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 […]
