The ILH House of Blues

By Paul Honda on October 9, 2015

Ranked No. 5 statewide. Elite defense. Stellar special teams. Explosive offense even with a third-string QB. The Kamehameha Warriors won’t be part of the state football tournament, not after last night’s 26-23 loss to No. 1 Punahou. Another year, another heartbreak for teams — pick a sport — from the shark tank of ILH athletics. Kamehameha won’t be the last team to sing the blues this fall. Soon enough, perhaps by next week, another ILH — and state championship — […]

The Ephraim Tuliloa Experience

By Paul Honda on October 9, 2015

When Punahou rallied from a 16-point deficit to beat Kamehameha last night, 26-23, it was a bit surreal. For Punahou, it was 3 hours of pure passing ecstacy. Ephraim Tuliloa was rarely a mad bomber, but he was certainly precise as he engineered a 41-for-52, 442-yard night to break his own single-game school record. For Kamehameha, it was that queasy feeling of losing a lead again, unable to maintain and manufacture a win against a Top 2 team. Title hopes […]

LIVE BLOG: Punahou 26, Kamehameha 23, F

By Paul Honda on October 8, 2015

FIRST QUARTER Punahou receives. Adam Stack touchback. Ephraim Tuliloa makes the start at QB. Tuliloa has the Buffanblu moving despite a sack after a shotgun snap slipped through his hands. He completes four passes in a row including a 37-yarder on a deep post by Keala Martinson, who injures an ankle on the play. PUN ball at the KS 37. Procedure call on third and 1 messes them up. Toner lines up for a 38-yard field-goal attempt, but the snap […]

LIVE BLOG: No. 1 Punahou 35, ‘Iolani 23

By Billy Hull on October 2, 2015

A week after one of the craziest high school football games ever, Punahou, which earned the No. 1 ranking after beating Saint Louis 51-45 in double overtime last Friday, hosts ‘Iolani to start second-round ILH Division I play. The four-time defending ILH Division I champions are 25-1 since the start of the 2013 season and have beaten ‘Iolani by the same 59-22 score in each of the last two meetings. The Raiders (2-4, 0-3) were competitive through two-plus quarters in […]
