Kapolei’s Tagovailoa throws for 403 yards in win

By Christian Shimabuku on August 27, 2016

In an alternate universe, perhaps June Jones would have been opening his second stint as the University of Hawaii’s head coach against California in Sydney, Australia, on Friday night. Instead, Kapolei’s first-year offensive coordinator mentored quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa to victory in Kaneohe, leading the sophomore to another quality performance. Tagovailoa finished 30-for-44 with 403 yards, three passing touchdowns and one interception, executing Jones’ run-and-shoot offense at a high level as the Hurricanes were 40-21 victors at Castle. Tagovailoa recorded his […]

Pascua a focal point of the ‘Iolani offense

By Christian Shimabuku on August 20, 2016

The ‘Iolani backfield is establishing itself as a real threat in the preseason. After quarterback Tai-John Mizutani shredded Radford for 245 yards and three passing touchdowns in the Raiders’ season opener, running back KJ Pascua put on a show of his own against Waimea on Saturday afternoon at Kozuki Stadium. The senior ran for all three of ‘Iolani’s touchdowns in the first half after the Raiders found themselves in a quick 3-0 deficit to the visiting Menehunes. He finished with […]

Kalaheo gets “total team effort” in win

By Christian Shimabuku on August 20, 2016

Entering Friday night’s contest at Kailua, both Kalaheo and McKinley were 0-1 in OIA Division II play and 0-2 overall in 2016. Kalaheo was 2-7 in 2015, with one of the wins a forfeit over Anuenue, which no longer has a varsity program. On the other side, McKinley came in losers of 18 straight. Something had to give. What resulted was what Kalaheo head coach Darrell Poole called a “total team effort,” as the Mustangs (1-2, 1-1) grinded out a […]


Castle finds a legit dual-threat at QB

By Christian Shimabuku on August 13, 2016

Last season, Castle got significant results in using quarterback Jeremy McGoldrick at wide receiver, who went on to make the 2015 Honolulu Star-Advertiser all-state second team. This year, the Knights have reaped the rewards of converting Makana Smith from wide receiver to quarterback. The junior finished Friday night’s contest against Radford with 126 yards on 12-for-14 passing with two touchdowns and one interception. On the ground, he rushed for 105 yards on nine attempts and two touchdowns, leading the Knights […]

Castle takes ‘a step in the right direction’

By Christian Shimabuku on August 6, 2016

In what head coach Nelson Maeda called a ‘rough’ week of preparation, Castle was able to shrug aside their roster issues in a 38-0 opening-night rout over visiting Kalaheo on Friday night. Last year’s team had as few as 27 players suit up for some games. This year’s squad had a massive upgrade in that aspect with 50 names listed on the roster. However, due to some academic issues and injuries, only 34 were available to play for the Knights […]

By Christian Shimabuku on January 5, 2016

The top two players in last season’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser Fab 15 are now getting some national recognition. Chanelle Molina of Konawaena and Keala Quinlan of Roosevelt were selected as nominees to compete in the 2016 McDonald’s All American Games, which will take place in Chicago, Ill. The 15th annual girl’s game is set for March 30. Molina, a Washington State signee, led the Wildcats to an HHSAA Division I state title last season. “Chanelle represents the state of Hawaii so […]
