Video: #2 Mililani vs. #4 Farrington

By Paul Honda on November 5, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 It was a reversal of roles, in a sense. Farrington started the season 0-2 with a pair of nonconference losses, then ran the table until this OIA Red championship game. Mililani? After a season-opening loss to Punahou, the Trojans were mostly dominant in the OIA Red West, and then through the playoffs. Could Farrington trip the men of Troy? Or is the power shift from East to West solidified over these past few years?

Video: ‘Iolani vs. Damien

By Paul Honda on October 31, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 ‘Iolani captured its 10th consecutive ILH Division II title with this 28-7 win. It is telling how dynastic the Raiders are in D-II. They came through in the ILH season despite injuries to some key players, mobilizing a number of first-year starters. Damien was senior-heavy this year, but ‘Iolani remains the champ. The return of defensive backs J.T. Los Banos and Max Look were key, as was the return of wide receiver Austin Ohira. Running back […]

Video: #1 Punahou vs #3 Kamehameha

By Paul Honda on October 28, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (post game) Punahou won the ILH championship with a 38-12 win over Kamehameha. It is easy to forget, sometimes, how dominant this Kamehameha offense line and defense were this season. The Warriors have a grand total of two losses, and both came against No. 1 Punahou. It’s been a special year for ILH football. Punahou remains unbeaten after this 38-12 win over Kamehameha, and this follows a string of games that included a trip […]


Video: #5 Farrington vs. #6 Campbell

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (post-game) Epic? Sure, if you love defense forever. It was zero to zero at the half, but it wasn’t for a lack of action. It’s been a long, long time since I’d seen a defensive battle like this, let alone one in a playoff game with a state-tournament berth (and a spot in the OIA Red title game) as a reward.

Video: #2 Mililani vs. #7 Kahuku

By Paul Honda on October 25, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Kahuku was in a rare role as the underdog, a young, talented team that had won five OIA Red East games in a row before falling to Farrington. The Red Raiders won their playoff game last week, but on Thursday night, Mililani proved to be too skilled, too deep and too sharp in a 37-22 win. Even with linebacker/fullback Dayton Furuta out for a second game in a row, the Trojans didn’t miss a […]

Video: #3 Kamehameha vs. #4 Saint Louis

By Paul Honda on October 25, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 This nail-biter ended the season for the loser, and that turned out to be the team with more turnovers and penalties. Kamehameha advanced to the ILH playoff final with a hard-earned 34-28 win.

Video: Radford at #10 Kaiser

By Paul Honda on October 22, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (post-game interviews) I arrived at Kaiser Stadium thinking, this would be a prime opportunity for Radford, one of the most prolific offensive units in D-II history, to play its finest game. To achieve peak performance, even (or especially) against the team that was a disturbance in the force. It was Kaiser that blemished Radford’s perfect record in blowout fashion. As a fan, I wanted to see both teams at their best. Maybe it wouldn’t […]

Tuileta thrives in any Buffanblu-print

By Paul Honda on October 16, 2013

Ask any QB if he’d rather be a game manager or a playmaker, and the smart ones will say “Yes.” No QB in his right mind assumes that a championship requires the role of only one or the other. Often times, it is both.
