Academics and athletics are going hand-in-hand at Campbell. A recent article by Paul Honda of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and Hawaii Prep World mentioned that all of the seniors from the two-time reigning state champion Sabers softball team are going to be playing in college next year. Here is the list of Sabers and their plans for studies and ballplaying next fall: >> Cydney Curran, 2B, Cal State Bakersfield >> Alecia Kupihea, C, Olympic College (Bremerton, Wash.) >> Kiani Telles, OF, […]

Kamehameha sophomore Dallas Millwood was named the ILH softball most valuable player on Thursday. Millwood led the Warriors to an 11-2-1 regular season and an ILH championship before losing in the quarterfinals of the state tournament. ‘Iolani’s Dean Yonamine, in his first year coaching the Raiders’ softball team, was named the coach of the year after guiding ‘Iolani to an 11-3 regular season record and second-place finish. The full teams as voted on by the coaches are below: ILH Most […]

The OIA released its softball all-star teams as voted on by league coaches today.

Out West, Kapolei senior Laugatausala Pedebone earned player of the year honors and Campbell’s Michael Hermosura was the coach of the year. Nanakuli’s Daria Kawaauhau is the Division II player of the year with Farrington’s Glen Zukeran earning coach of the year honors. […]

If there is one rule the Honolulu Star-Advertiser goes by when it comes to picking a most valuable player, it’s that there can only be one. Having two people share that award is something to be avoided. If it’s a close call, the editors in charge will say, “Pick one.” So it was kinda funny when Star-Advertiser reporter Jason Kaneshiro looked over at me near the end of Campbell’s 12-2 win over Kapolei in the Division I state softball final […]

It took five innings, but Kapolei found its timing just in time to put together a rally that propelled the Hurricanes into Friday’s title game of the DataHouse/HHSAA Division I Softball Championship. Outside of Sadie Kapaku-You’s swing on the first pitch of the bottom of the fourth inning in Thursday’s semifinal game, Kapolei was kept off balance by Pearl City junior Tyanna Kaaialii’s offspeed offerings while the Chargers executed at the plate to take a 5-1 lead. Kapaku-You’s home run […]

Campbell head coach Michael Hermosura was watching the late game with keen interest Thursday night at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. In the early game, Hermosura’s Sabers rallied from a one-run deficit to beat Mililani 5-2 in the Division I softball state semifinals. Later on, sitting on the first-base side, he watched Kapolei — the only team to beat Campbell (17-1) this season (in the OIA championship game) — successfully rally to squash Pearl City’s upset hopes, 6-5. Now, the Sabers’ biggest […]
