Damien nearly knocks off California champs
By Billy Hull on August 18, 2017Villa Park’s week-long trip to Hawaii culminated in its season opener against Damien on Friday night at Skippa Diaz Stadium. With a roster of over 90 players, the seven-time defending Crestview League 3A champions in Orange County, ranked No. 11 in the region, had the look of a vastly superior team to the Division II Monarchs. That was hardly the case as Damien, which suited roughly 1/3 the number of players as Villa Park, hung tight with Spartans the entire […]

That forced many to play both ways, but the one area Klaneski said the Monarchs were OK at was in the trenches. “We only had one or two guys play both ways (on the line),” Klaneski said. That depth will be tested early as the Monarchs lost starting center Magnus Fonoti-Faumuina to a knee injury in the third quarter. Fonoti-Faumuina, […]

By Nick Abramo on April 2, 2017There’s no question Damien and St. Francis will be classified in Division II for Interscholastic League of Honolulu football this fall.
