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 […]

Salanoa turned the program into an annual force, but he was never able to accomplish one goal: Beat Castle coach Nelson Maeda without the ball in his […]

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 […]

Maeda: Lack of discipline hurt Knights

By Paul Honda on October 11, 2015

For many a playoff team, there is a certain type of pain reserved for this kind of defeat. For the Castle Knights, it’s a bit of that and a lot of something else. After all these years in the game, Nelson Maeda, who played football for the University of Hawaii, was as gentle and blunt as could be. “I’m sorry to see the season come to an end. I’m sorry we couldn’t play the type of Castle football that we […]
