Cal Lee was in good spirits after Saint Louis’ 38-2 win over Kamehameha on Saturday night at Aloha Stadium. Facing elimination from ILH title contention and state-tourney qualification, Kamehameha was resilient in the trenches. Saint Louis didn’t give up a point, stopping the Warriors in the red zone multiple times. Lee was unusually proud of the defensive teamwork. “The kids can rest, get rejuvenated, get excited to come back and play in the state tournament. That’s a goal you shoot […]
Saint Louis’ defense was effective again on Saturday night, with the only points it squandered being a safety by the offense. Backup quarterback Maika Bonner was sacked in the end zone, breaking up a shutout for the Crusaders.

Noa Purcell recovered a blocked punt in the first quarter, adding to […]
The No. 1-ranked Saint Louis Crusaders can wrap up a third consecutive ILH championship with a win over Kamehameha. The Warriors played the Crusaders tough three weeks ago in a 23-12 loss and snapped a 10-game losing streak to Punahou last week in a 44-31 win to save their season. Safety Kalamaku Kuewa, who missed the Punahou game while on a baseball trip, is expected to play and the Warriors should be at full go. NO. 4 KAMEHAMEHA WARRIORS (4-4) […]
Saint Louis junior defensive lineman Faatui Tuitele‘s status for Saturday’s Interscholastic League of Honolulu football Division I second-round championship game is unknown. “Tui is a game-day decision,” coach Cal Lee said Thursday. “He hurt his elbow in practice and did not play last week. He will play next week for sure.” Next week, the Crusaders (7-0) — the league’s first-round champion — will only be playing if they lose Saturday’s game against Kamehameha (4-4). If they win, they are overall […]
In the Interscholastic League of Honolulu, success in the regular season is protected. That’s why No. 1 Saint Louis is sitting in the driver’s seat.

A first-team All-State selection as […]
