By Jerry Campany on June 7, 2015

No receiver in the history of high school football in Hawaii has covered more ground than Punahou’s Kanawai Noa, but he might have left more yards on the sidelines. Noa will be inducted into the Enterprise / HHSAA Hall of Honor on June 7 at Dole Cannery Square’s Pomaikai Ballroom. The three-sport star finished his career with 3,510 receiving yards and 36 touchdowns, passing fellow Hall of Honor inductee Gerald Welch of Saint Louis in his last high school game. […]

By Jerry Campany on June 6, 2015

Athletes like Sarah Lau don’t come around every year. Kamehameha’s Lau completed a career as a standout in volleyball, soccer and track and field and will be honored for it with an induction into the Enterprise / HHSAA Hall of Honor on June 7 at Dole Cannery Square’s Pomaikai Ballroom. To find the last girl to pull that unique trifecta of sports and do them well enough to reach the hall, you have to go way back to 2002 when […]

By Jerry Campany on June 5, 2015

A case for Hall of Honor candidacy is usually made in an athlete’s freshman year, when they start their journey toward multiple state titles. That is not how Waipahu’s Sabrina Hollins played it, though, but it worked out just fine. Hollins didn’t compete in a varsity sport until her junior year, but did enough in two years to be inducted June 7 at Dole Cannery Square’s Pomaikai Ballroom. Not that there weren’t signs of her future in her junior year. […]

Hall pass: Gabbie Ewing

By Jerry Campany on June 4, 2015

It’s hard to boil Gabbie Ewing‘s contribution to Hawaii Prep athletics by mere numbers. As a soccer player, she controls the middle and isn’t asked to put up obscene goal totals like Leo Klink and Sonest Furtado did. On the volleyball court, she wasn’t the type of player to rise above the net and drop bombs like Tiyana Hallums or McKenna Granato until she had to be. But the 16 member Hall of Honor committee had no problem judging intangibles […]
