Mililani senior Aubree Kim threw a no-hitter with 17 strikeouts and the Trojans advanced to the semifinals of the DataHouse/HHSAA Division I Softball Championship with a 6-0 win over third-seeded Maui today at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. A day after striking out 16 while throwing 157 pitches in a win over Kaiser, Kim turned in a far more efficient performance while recording the second no-hitter in a state tournament in her career. She threw the first as a sophomore in […]

The opening day of the DataHouse/HHSAA Division I Softball Championship served as testament to the strength and depth of the OIA West. Of the division’s seven teams, five will be among the eight playing in the state tournament’s quarterfinal round on Wednesday at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. The OIA West went 4-0 in the first round on Tuesday with Leilehua, Campbell, Mililani and Pearl City advancing. Kapolei, the tournament’s top seed and OIA champion, had a bye in the first […]

All three teams – along with the other OIA semifinalist, Pearl City — will be competing in the upcoming state tournament. The Hurricanes (13-3) received nine of 14 first-place votes. Campbell (14-1) fell to No. 2 and still got three […]

It was somewhat fitting that the final out of Saturday’s OIA Division I softball championship ended up in the glove of Kapolei left fielder Dallas Pollard-Brownell. The inning prior, a ball that popped out of her grip helped position Mililani for a third straight OIA crown. But the Hurricanes rallied in the top of the seventh inning with the go-ahead run scoring on Pollard-Brownell’s grounder. Mililani threatened again in the bottom of the inning with a two-out double, but Pollard-Brownell […]
