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.
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 […]
Kahuku had owned the first 10 matchups against Mililani. The Trojans claimed control of meeting No. 11 early on and ended the Red Raiders’ hold on the OIA Red title. Mililani broke its hex against the Red Raiders with a 37-22 win Thursday night at Aloha Stadium that propelled the Trojans to a second straight appearance in the OIA Red championship game. Mililani’s underclassmen played pivotal roles for the offense with sophomore running back Vavae Malepeai rushing for 141 yards […]
Who will move on to face Mililani next Friday for the OIA Red title? Farrington and Campbell meet in a rematch of a 2011 OIA Red semifinal won by the Govs, 27-24. Campbell quarterback Isaac Hurd came off the bench to throw for a touchdown and run for another before getting hurt in the fourth quarter. Campbell is trying to make states in Division I for the first time under coach Amosa Amosa. Kickoff is set for approximately 7:55 p.m. […]
