Mauga making his case as best in state

By Christian Shimabuku on September 10, 2017

If big-time players make big-time plays, then Kana’i Mauga is as prime as it gets. It seems that the Waianae senior is making his bid for defensive player of the year honors each time he takes the field this season. He added to his hot streak on Saturday night against Radford, taking an interception 71 yards to the house. It was the Seariders’ first touchdown of the game and it set the tone for a 47-15 rout. “All the credit […]

Waipahu celebrates new field in style

By Christian Shimabuku on September 9, 2017

The fans showed up to Waipahu’s first game on campus since 2015, almost enough to fill the stands on Friday night. So the Marauders returned the favor, giving their town the performance of a true OIA Division II contender in a 63-7 rout of Waialua. “We just came out here and wanted to give this game to the community. We didn’t have a game for two years on this field and it’s just a blessing to get back on here,” […]

Leilehua no longer ordinary in OIA Red

By Christian Shimabuku on September 3, 2017

Leilehua coach Mark Kurisu is a believer in the bigger picture, those small decisions and actions that have a cumulative impact on his program. It’s why he holds his players to higher standards in the classroom, for example. He believes that it will help his players respond to adversity on the field. He was seen saying “trust the process” to players, coaches and parents after the Mules’ 20-19 comeback victory over No. 8 Kapolei in overtime on Saturday night, and […]

Pearl City’s Tupuola-Fetui does it all

By Christian Shimabuku on September 2, 2017

Pearl City’s Zion Tupuola-Fetui has earned eight FBS scholarship offers since February, but as long as there are games left to be played this season, the recruiting process will take a back seat. The Chargers senior, who is being recruited as a defensive end by some schools and a linebacker by others, is playing all over the field for Pearl City this season. He was menacing on defense in Friday night’s 31-0 win over Kalaheo, coming up with multiple sacks […]

Tina-Sobarano has Kalani in good hands

By Christian Shimabuku on August 26, 2017

Based on his ’88’ jersey number and speed, Kalani senior Seth Tina-Sobarano might look like a converted wide receiver playing quarterback. But make no mistake, he’s exclusively a quarterback. And he proved it with his arm in the Falcons’ 57-24 win over McKinley on Saturday night at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium. The third-year Falcons starter was 14-for-20 for 302 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Many of his deep balls were delivered with just the right combination of power and touch. […]

Buchanan shows improvement in 2nd start

By Christian Shimabuku on August 26, 2017

After making history last week, McKinley sophomore quarterback Alexandria Buchanan had quite the lead-up to Saturday’s matchup with Kalani. “It’s pretty crazy. There’s a lot of support coming in from friends and family of course, but also complete strangers, people I don’t even know,” she said. “It’s amazing getting this support from my team. It means a lot to me and I’m pretty sure it means a lot to my team, too.” Buchanan set out to prove that the Kalaheo […]

Failauga’s run at record stalled by injury

By Christian Shimabuku on August 25, 2017

Take a look at the state’s top seven rushers of all-time and you’ll notice that not a single one of them carried the ball for the varsity team during their freshman seasons. That’s why Waipahu sophomore Alfred Failauga has a huge advantage over those listed greats. As a freshman last fall, he racked up 1,259 yards on the ground for the Marauders and he’s on pace to shatter the record of Mililani’s Vavae Malepeai, who rushed for 4,549 yards over […]

HAWAII GROWN: Faamatau, Lee ready for JUCO

By Christian Shimabuku on August 22, 2017

With the exception of a Panda Express near the campus of Pima Community College, there isn’t much that reminds Leonard Lee of home in Arizona. But he’s on the mainland for a reason, and that’s to play college football. And the first two years of that will be for Pima, where he and a handful of other Hawaii products will ply their trades and hope to move up to a four-year college. For Lee, who graduated from Kapolei just a […]
