Mililani’s Gabriel keeps same approach

By Christian Shimabuku on November 11, 2016

In order to play beyond his years, Mililani sophomore quarterback Dillon Gabriel knows that it starts with his approach. “I play every game like it’s my senior year,” he said. “I just want to go out there and play hard for my brothers next to me.” In Friday night’s 51-35 win over Leilehua in the Division I semifinals of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships, Gabriel went 16-for-25 with 224 passing yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for […]

‘Iolani makes most of new life

By Christian Shimabuku on November 4, 2016

Before the season started, ‘Iolani knew what it had to do to earn a berth in the HHSAA Division I state tournament: Win the ILH title, which included beating out the likes of Saint Louis, Punahou and Kamehameha. The Raiders went 0-7 in ILH play. Yet here they are, one win away from a Division I title game after a 17-14 nail-biter over Moanalua at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium. In August, the HHSAA added an Open division to the state tournament […]

Kahuku’s Vimahi close to making commitment

By Christian Shimabuku on October 29, 2016

On Tuesday, Kahuku senior Aliki Vimahi tweeted that he was offered a scholarship by Southern California, his dream school. After Friday’s 44-8 win over Farrington to capture the school’s second straight OIA title and 25th overall, Vimahi was seen wearing a sleeve on each arm. Both were emblazoned with the USC logo. Among the double-digit amount of offers he holds, it’s safe to say that this one was pretty special to him. “It’s been my dream school ever since I […]

St. Francis continues to build strong program

By Christian Shimabuku on October 22, 2016

In four short years, St. Francis has gone from a football team to a football program. Formerly an all-girls’ school, it went co-ed in 2006 and the student body is currently about equal in male and female enrollment. In October 2012, the school got permission from the ILH and Sister Joan of Arc Souza announced plans to start a varsity program. Those plans came to fruition in the 2013 season. St. Francis dropped their first 16 ILH games. It wasn’t […]

Saint Louis defense makes statement

By Christian Shimabuku on October 14, 2016

Known for its high-octane offense and gaudy numbers on that side of the ball, Saint Louis can make some plays on defense, too. The Crusaders forced four ‘Iolani turnovers and had a goal-line stand in the game’s closing seconds, giving the Raiders their first shutout since 2013 in a 33-0 win. “All credit to the boys, they just played hard,” acting head coach Wes Tufaga said. “They did their responsibilities and ran to the ball and did everything we expected.” […]

Punahou an interested observer tonight

By Christian Shimabuku on October 7, 2016

After its 38-14 win over ‘Iolani on Friday afternoon, all Punahou can do is wait. Tonight’s game between Kamehameha and Saint Louis will decide the Buffanblu’s fate in the upcoming ILH playoffs. If the Warriors win, Punahou gets the top seed. If the Crusaders win, Punahou and Saint Louis will hold identical ILH D-I records of 5-1 and the seeding will come down to a coin toss. The Crusaders and Buffanblu split their season series. In the first meeting on […]

Campbell’s Ramos a force in multiple sports

By Christian Shimabuku on October 1, 2016

On the football field, Markus Ramos certainly looked the part on Friday night. The Campbell senior leveraged his 6-foot-3 frame to haul in three touchdowns and used his long strides to separate from defenders. Despite this, football is not his sport. He has a promising baseball career and is committed to pitch for the University of Oregon, where he said the school will cover “about 92 percent” of his costs. “I wish I could play more because nothing beats playing […]

Campbell on a roll to end regular season

By Christian Shimabuku on October 1, 2016

Week by week, Campbell is proving that how you finish the regular season is far more important than how you started it. After starting the season with lopsided losses to Kapolei and Farrington, the Sabers have since gone 5-1, their lone loss in that stretch to No. 1 Kahuku. The Sabers gutted out a double-overtime win over Moanalua and then got their signature win in a 14-12 upset of Waianae a week later. After crushing Radford 52-7 on their senior […]
