By Jason Kaneshiro on October 20, 2017

Count Jalen Tuivaiave-Olomua among those who didn’t know he’d play an expanded role in the Mililani offense Friday night. Tuivaiave-Olomua led the Trojans ground game with 649 yards and 12 touchdowns while helping lead the defense as a two-way standout last season. But with the emergence of Kilifi Malepeai (347 yards, eight TDs) this season, Tuivaiave-Olomua entered Friday’s game with 97 yards on just 16 carries as a senior while devoting more of his focus to leading the defense from […]

A bye to close the regular-season schedule gave Pearl City two weeks to prepare for Friday’s playoff matchup with Kaimuki. After pulling out a 7-0 defensive duel, the Chargers have another 12 days to devise a game plan before facing an explosive Waipahu attack with the OIA Division II championship at stake. The Chargers allowed 193 yards in Friday’s semifinal duel with Kaimuki, but protected the last 7 to secure its fifth shutout of the season and continue its pursuit […]

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 8, 2017

For the fourth straight year, Farrington and Waianae will have their paths intersect in a high-stakes postseason matchup. The Governors advanced to the quarterfinals of the OIA Division I playoffs with a 36-14 win over Radford on Saturday and coach Randall Okimoto’s thoughts turned to Friday’s matchup at Waianae well before he left Kusunoki Field for the last time this season. “We have to move on,” Okimoto said as the Skippa Diaz Stadium stands emptied. “We expect a good game.” […]

No. 8 Campbell focused on moving forward

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 7, 2017

With an elimination game ahead, Campbell coach Darren Johnson wouldn’t allow the Sabers to look back. Campbell entered the final week of the regular season with a shot at the OIA Blue’s top seed only to have No. 2 Kahuku roll to a 45-6 win on homecoming night in Ewa Beach. While Kahuku secured a first-round bye in the OIA Division I playoffs, Campbell finished third in the division with a week to recover before facing Castle. Missing from the […]

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 29, 2017

The sophomore quarterback transferred to Kapolei from Bishop Gorman (Nev.) after the start of the school year and moved into the starting role three weeks ago in a win at Kailua to snap a three-game losing streak. After a 42-21 loss to Mililani on Sept. 15, the Hurricanes needed a win on Friday at Nanakuli to qualify for the OIA Division […]

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 24, 2017

Before joining Saturday’s homecoming festivities, the Farrington football team received a lesson in fun from a volleyball legend.
