Farrington’s essential ingredient: preparation

By Nick Abramo on August 27, 2017

Farrington wasn’t about to get kicked around again, especially at home. Despite a slow start this season, the unranked Governors showed just how much pride they’ve got by knocking off No. 5 Kapolei in dominant fashion, 28-7, Saturday night at Skippa Diaz Stadium. The previously super-hot Hurricanes took a double whammy this week, first finding out their 41-7 win over Castle last week had turned into a forfeit loss due to an ineligible player and then getting outplayed all night […]

Farrington defense keys breakthrough win

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 19, 2017

After an 0-2 start to the season, Farrington’s defense made sure the skid ended with Friday’s trip to Nanakuli. The Governors turned away an early threat from the Golden Hawks with the first of five takeaways and sparked a 35-0 win to avoid their first 0-3 start since 2005. Farrington last dropped their first two games in 2013 (to Waianae and Kamehameha) then reeled off eight consecutive wins. The Governors opened this season with losses to No. 6 Kamehameha and […]


GAME NIGHT 8/18: Farrington/Nanakuli

By Hawaii Prep World on August 18, 2017

For the first time since 2013, Farrington will take the field unranked in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser Top 10. That same year is also the last time the Govs started a season 0-2, but they bounced back to win the next eight. Can they do it again? The road begins in the Valley against Nanakuli, which earned its fist win since 2015 last week against Aiea. Nanakuli leads the series 3-1-1 but hasn’t beaten the Governors since 1984. Farrington hasn’t played […]

Big stats, bigger learning curve for Sabers

By Paul Honda on August 12, 2017

In the life of Randall Okimoto, there’s always the virtue of resourcefulness. After all, with a young offense, inconsistent production and a tough regular-season opener on the road, his Farrington Governors found ways to stay close. It was enough grit by Farrington for his counterpart, new Campbell coach Darren Johnson, to wince just a bit despite a 26-20 victory on Friday night. It was Campbell’s first win over Farrington since 2001, ending an 11-game losing streak to the Governors. “We […]

Govs-Warriors: 8 takeaways from stadium debut

By Paul Honda on August 5, 2017

Debut night at Skippa Diaz Stadium made for an electric atmosphere, though discerning fans — particularly on Farrington’s side of the field — seemed patient with their talented, but young squad. First, a sprinkling of football. > Kamehameha was the young, green team last season, gaining valuable game reps. Now they’re a year older, wiser, stronger, faster and it’s Farrington that is enduring growing pains. That was the biggest difference tonight. That and Kamehameha’s team speed on defense. > The […]
