Update: Saint Louis 49, ‘Iolani 13, final

By Paul Honda on September 14, 2013

5:09 p.m. We’re about 4 minutes away from kickoff for No. 3 Saint Louis and No. 10 ‘Iolani. They have quite a history together. 5:21 p.m. Keoni-Kordell Makekau’s 30-yard field goal gives ‘Iolani a 3-0 lead with 9:39 to go in the first quarter. 5:28 p.m. Crusaders are in hurry-up mode and drive to the ‘Iolani 8-yard line before stalling. On fourth down, they go for it rather than kick a field goal, which leads to a fumble by Ryder […]

Top Players: RBs (9/12)

By Paul Honda on September 12, 2013

First, a random examination of top running backs and their numbers. (My ranked order is at the bottom of this post.) Plus, style comparisons. Wayne Taulapapa, Punahou, 5-11, 185, So. 53 attempts, 329 yards, two touchdowns, 109.7 yards per game, 6.2 yards per carry. Two of their three opponents were elite teams: Mililani, Helix (Calif.). He had a monster 30-153 game against Helix, a CIF powerhouse. He didn’t start when the season began, but it’s clear that he’s capable of […]

Update: Kamehameha 38, ‘Iolani 22, final

By Paul Honda on September 6, 2013

7:48 p.m. Kickoff is a few seconds away. ‘Iolani to receive. 7:54 p.m. David vs. Goliath has begun. Raiders drive to the KS 20, drive stalls, 47-yard FG attempt is short. 7:59 p.m. Warriors no-huddle, hurry-up mode all on the ground, but the march stalls on a dead-ball personal foul call. Drive ends at the Raiders’ 30 on downs. 8:03 p.m. David scores on Goliath. The Raiders surgically maneuver around and through the Warriors with their hurry-up, no-huddle offense. Jordan […]


Update: ‘Iolani 35, St. Francis 0, final

By Paul Honda on August 30, 2013

Max Look scored on a 49-yard punt return as the Raiders took a 28-0 lead into halftime in the first varsity football game between the two schools. The Raiders got an early touchdown pass from Easton Tsubata, then Jordan Ross sprinted down the left sideline for a 50-yard scoring run. Look’s punt return to paydirt gave the home team a 21-0 lead with 2:55 left in the opening quarter. Running back Brent Tonaki’s 1-yard run up the middle opened the […]

Update: ‘Iolani 36, KS-Hawaii 0, final

By Paul Honda on August 24, 2013

1:58 p.m. It’s hot as Vegas this afternoon at Eddie Hamada Field. ALmost zero breeze, somewhat muggy and boiling heat. I’m expecting a clash of contrasts, hoping for a crazy pinball-action score. There’s no open space today to shoot video at the top of the bleachers (like last week when Leilehua visited), so I’m “stuck” in the ice-cold, air-conditioned press box. It’s a nice problem. Just can’t hear the crowd. Almost completely. My Pupule pick yesterday was and still is […]
