Video: Kalani vs. Anuenue

By Paul Honda on October 4, 2013

Normally, Kalani-Anuenue is a competitive football game. Timing has changed, however. Kalani continues to progress and is on an upward thrust to success with a prolific passing attack. Anuenue hasn’t been its usual self this fall, not with the graduation of many seniors. Even with its small enrollment, Anuenue had produced some of the state’s top rushers each year. This is not one of those years. Na Koa are young and building. They suited up 18 in this game. Eighteen […]

Video: #3 Punahou at #4 ‘Iolani

By Paul Honda on October 4, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Currently uploading I don’t dare say a best-of-three match can possibly be an instant classic. I don’t. There have been too many incredible battles on the hardwood in best-of-fives. But this? Especially the first set, this is what great volleyball competition and rivalry are about. Some of the best rallies I’ve seen this season, even in a long time. And to see it in a great environment was icing on the cake. […]

Video: Castle at Moanalua

By Paul Honda on October 1, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 I admit, I didn’t expect Moanalua to run much, but Castle went all in to stop the pass. Na Menehune ran their share of dive/draw plays for awhile before Micah Kaneshiro let that pigskin fly with regularity. Castle’s still in a fight for a playoff berth. Moanalua? On a good night, they can scare anybody. A receiving corps like that, plus Kaneshiro’s arm, is a rare treat for most programs.


Video: #3 Kahuku at #6 Moanalua

By Paul Honda on October 1, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Moanalua? Good team. They’ve got defense, hitters, passers. But Kahuku, with their bombers outside, is just too powerful for the rest of the OIA, I’m guessing, at least for now. One of Kamehameha’s players told me that Kahuku is right there at the same level as the state’s elite teams. Now that I’ve seen them, it’s true. The Lady Raiders have the power.

Video: #1 Kamehameha at #2 Punahou

By Paul Honda on September 26, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Over the years, Punahou and Kamehameha have provided huge highlights, great volleyball and excellent entertainment for fans. And that’s just in the regular season. This rematch again went to the Warriors in a two-set sweep. Right now, the Warriors are the clear-cut best team in the state, deep, focused, talented and unselfish. All the markings of a champion. Yet, it ain’t over. There have been a number of ILH runners-up in volleyball, […]

Video: #6 Campbell at #4 Mililani

By Paul Honda on September 23, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 The Sabers arrived ready and able to play, jumping to a 21-7 lead by halftime. Solomon Matautia’s 100-yard interception return jolted the Trojans with 5.3 seconds left in the half. The second half, however, was an entirely different story. Mililani scored 35 points and shut down Campbell’s potent offense. The Trojans remain unbeaten in OIA Red West play.

Video: #5 Kahuku vs. McKinley

By Paul Honda on September 22, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Mid-season. Sometimes progress and development mean so much more than wins and losses. The Kahuku Red Raiders showed on this night they have the will and the skill to advance downfield with the timing and touch of quarterback Tuli Wily-Matagi. They do have a solid corps of receivers. It just took nine men in the box by McKinley for Big Red to put that aerial show on display. The Tigers played with pride, as usual, but […]

Video: Damien vs. St. Francis

By Paul Honda on September 18, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 1 has game highlights of what started out as a Saints upset in the making. But eventually, Damien’s depth and physical play took a toll. D.J. Aumua was a dual threat as a running back — three touchdowns on the day — and offensive lineman. I don’t recall seeing a player change jerseys halfway through a high school game before. See the post-game interview with the Damien senior in Part 1. Part 2 is a […]
