By Billy Hull on November 23, 2013

2013 team page for D-I state champion Punahou There’s only one thing left for Punahou senior Larry Tuileta to accomplish in his high school career.

This is the third straight final for Punahou, which lost to Kahuku each of the last two seasons. Mililani is trying for its first-ever state […]

Legends in the making: Punahou vs. Farrington

By Jerry Campany on November 14, 2013

Friday’s second semifinal in the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Division I state football semifinals pits two of the most storied programs in the state. But for all of the big wins Punahou and Farrington have shared over the years, they are better known for stumbling near the end. Only Saint Louis (35) has won the ILH more often than Punahou (24), but unlike the Crusaders the Buffanblu have struggled to seal the deal, getting to the state championship four times and […]

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 […]

Charles McDonald was short on a 47-yard field-goal […]

Noa better: expectations high for Punahou receiver

By Jerry Campany on August 6, 2013

Last year during the preseason, the Punahou football team wasn’t sure what it had at receiver. But the Buffs’ fears were put to rest when sophomore Kanawai Noa caught six passes for 176 yards and four touchdowns in the season opener against West Anchorage. He went on to become one of the best receivers in the state despite missing two games with an ankle injury. When they reported for camp this year, coach Kale Ane had to be salivating over […]

By Jerry Campany on August 3, 2013

According to this list from Wikipedia … List of high school football rivalries (100 years+) … nothing else in the country even approaches the rivalry as far as number of games played. Nothing else, not even Harvard-Yale, […]
