Chun: ‘D-III will happen one day’

By Paul Honda on June 13, 2010

Fiscal responsibility is utmost in Chris Chun’s mind. The attorney-turned-executive director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association made it through the busy spring season and this week’s athletic directors conference with renewed energy. He’s got little time to digest the proposals that passed the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Directors Association conference before they go up for vote before the HHSAA’s executive board on Monday morning. Without the HHSAA’s approval, no HIADA proposal is enacted. It’s happened often times before: three […]

MIL, BIIF spoke loud and clear

By Paul Honda on June 13, 2010

The groundswell had been building, all right. So had the ammunition. The Maui Interscholastic League and Big Island Interscholastic Federation were outnumbered, but not outgunned when discussion on the open floor ensued on Friday, the final day of the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Directors Association conference.

The load wasn’t large; several battles offered by the neighbor islands were […]

Post-match: State finals, boys soccer

By Jerry Campany on February 15, 2010

. By Paul Honda Some post-match notes from the finals of the JN Automotive/HHSAA Boys Soccer State Championships. • The battle between Punahou’s stellar defenders, Cody Sia and Jon Cloutier, can’t be overstated. They know how to slow ‘Iolani’s standout scorer, Nick Goo, as well as any defenders. The three are teammates with the Honolulu Bulls club. “They have a solid defensive line,” Goo said after Punahou’s 1-0 win. “They tackle hard. They kind of know every move I’ll make.” […]

Pre-game: Honokaa/MPI, boys soccer

By Jerry Campany on February 13, 2010

By Paul Honda OK, to be accurate, there are no “games” in soccer. They are matches. As Honokaa and Mid-Pac square off for the Division II boys soccer state title (see OC 16 live), it’s interesting that the Dragons have a chance — long shot as they may be since Mid-Pac is the only team to beat Punahou this season (so far) — to surface as the first boys soccer state champ from the Big Island. Why is that worth […]
