Governors earn a week off

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 4, 2015

Challen Faamatau’s ability to carry a heavy workload helped Farrington earn some time off. Faamatau ran for 114 yards on 24 carries and scored all three of the Governors’ touchdowns in their 21-14 win over Campbell on Saturday at Aloha Stadium. With the win, Farrington secured second place in the OIA Blue and a bye in the first round of the OIA Division I playoffs. The Governors will face the winner of the first-round matchup between Campbell and Kaiser in […]

Okimoto: Govs defense showed its inexperience

By Nick Abramo on September 18, 2015

Farrington head coach Randall Okimoto looks just about the same after a loss than he does after a win. He’s even-keeled, no matter what. And he got right to the point after the handshake line on Thursday. His sixth-ranked Governors had just suffered a 71-28 loss to No. 3 Mililani. “It really showed our lack of experience on defense,” he said. “When you play a team as disciplined as Mililani’s offense is you’re going to get exposed. Now, it’s all […]

Govs hope defeat builds stronger team

By Paul Honda on September 18, 2015

It could happen all over again for the Farrington Governors. A year ago, they took a 27-point loss in a late September meeting with Mililani. That spurred Farrington to four wins in its next five games. The momentum came to a halt in the postseason, at the hands of Mililani, but it was a narrow 17-14 contest the second time. Mililani looked every bit the defending state champions, every bit like a team that has not lost to an island […]


LIVE BLOG: Mililani 71, Farrington 28

By Billy Hull on September 17, 2015

With no disrespect to Kailua, which at 5-1 is one of the best stories of the 2015 Hawaii high school football season, the battle tonight at Aloha Stadium between No. 3 Mililani and No. 6 Farrington is — for all intents and purposes — for the OIA Blue crown. The Surfriders host the Trojans next week and could cause mayhem with a win, but the Govs and Trojans are the only two undefeated teams in league play left in the […]

It’s pick your poison for Farrington defense

By Paul Honda on September 16, 2015

For all of the talk of Mililani’s leaky defense against Liberty, the offense has had no problems at all. The Trojans have been held under 50 points in every game except one this year, scoring ONLY 49 against Campbell. Farrington has given up more than 19 only once, a 35-point outburst by Moanalua’s machine. The two units go head-to-head on Thursday at Aloha Stadium. It figures to be the first real test for the Trojans’ offense. McKenzie Milton will get […]

Trojans await Govs’ balanced offense Thursday

By Nick Abramo on September 16, 2015

Due to No. 3 Mililani’s potent offense that is averaging 59.2 points in five games, the Trojans’ defense gets a bit overlooked. The biggest question for the unit — after giving up 76 points in a loss to Liberty in Henderson, Nev., two weeks ago — is how will it hold up against Thursday night’s opponent, Oahu Interscholastic Association Blue rival and sixth-ranked Farrington at 7:30 p.m. at Aloha Stadium. Certainly not as imposing as last season’s defense, which included […]

Bent but not broken: Asalemo brings heat

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2015

On paper, it was a phenomenal performance for two individuals in Saturday night’s Farrington-Kailua showdown. Challen Faamatau‘s 236 yards and three rushing TDs on 30 carries were his single-game personal bests. The 236-yard total, No. 6 on the Farrington all-time best list, is right behind the 245 yards produced by current Govs coach Randall Okimoto against Kailua 25 years ago. Kailua quarterback Noah Auld was scintillating at times with 23 completions in 31 attempts for 221 yards and a touchdown. […]
