Kalaheo still felt that it had plenty to play for despite being eliminated from OIA playoff contention prior to Saturday night’s matchup with Kalani. Despite ending up just a game behind Kaiser for the fourth and final playoff bid in Division II, the Mustangs sent their 10 seniors out winners with a 22-7 victory over Kalani at Kailua’s Alex Kane Stadium. Two close key losses for Kalaheo (3-7 overall) would have swung its postseason fate. A 28-12 loss to the […]

By Christian Shimabuku on October 13, 2018

The field was so muddy at Kailua’s Alex Kane Stadium that Waipahu running back Alfred Failauga had to confirm afterward that it was indeed him who scored the game-winning touchdown in a 12-6 double-overtime victory, spoiling senior night for the Surfriders. Friday night’s battle was a wet and muddy mess, leaving the majority of players from both squads unrecognizable from the press box because of their jerseys getting covered in brown. “We’re feeling pretty great about that one,” Failauga said.

Field conditions force Kaimuki to run past Kalaheo

By Christian Shimabuku on October 6, 2018

Saturday night’s 25-13 win over Kalaheo wasn’t the prettiest display for Kaimuki, and at times it was plain ugly. But a win is a win for the Bulldogs (6-2, 6-0 D-II) who remain undefeated in OIA play after enduring a sloppy field and even sloppier play. “It was frustrating but at the same time, I’ve seen these types of games many times before and the same challenges we have, they were also having too,” Kaimuki coach David Tautofi said. “It […]

Nothing will come easy for Kailua this season

By Christian Shimabuku on October 6, 2018

After Kailua intercepted Na Alii quarterback Kayson Castillo on its own 1-yard line with eight seconds left, the coast was clear for the Surfriders to pick up their second win of the season on Friday night at Alex Kane Stadium. Until it wasn’t. On the very next play, the Surfriders fumbled on a quarterback sneak, giving Aiea the ball back at the Kailua 5 with three seconds left. Kailua needed one final stand from its defense, and after Castillo’s pass […]
