Trench Warfare 2: Williams vs. Semisi

By Jerry Campany on October 4, 2013

Kahuku’s Lamone Williams vs. Farrington’s Mason Semisi In the second installment of Trench Warfare, we have Kahuku defensive end Lamone Williams vs. Farrington tackle Mason Semisi. All scoring on the 10-point must system and very subjective, feel free to add your own score. Farrington won this game at Aloha Stadium 21-7. Williams is a returning all-state player as a senior and carries a lean 240 pounds on his 6-foot-3 frame. Semisi also stands 6-3, but has 40 more pounds (according […]

Farrington is best in the East

By Billy Hull on October 4, 2013

Written off by many after an 0-2 start, the Farrington Governors ran the table in the OIA Red East, punctuated by a 21-7 win over Kahuku on Thursday night at Aloha Stadium. The Governors defense stepped up in the winner-take-all game, holding Kahuku to just one first down over the first 35 minutes. OIA Red East standings Kahuku quarterback Tuli Wily-Matagi didn’t complete a pass until hitting Kuuliko Carvalho on a stop-and-go route for 27 yards with less than a […]

Update: Farrington 21, Kahuku 7, final

By Paul Honda on October 3, 2013

First Quarter Kahuku won the toss and defers. Farrington to receive the opening kickoff. Opening drive: Govs mixing it up with two passes on its first two plays, then a double-tight end, shotgun handoff to Sanele Lavatai. More: Another nice wrinkle following a more standard I-set. Govs went to a pistol set, offset I, throwing for a first down. Red Raiders can’t tee off on first down against the Govs right now. Nice play calls. Ace formation, trips right, Montana […]


Round 1 for Farrington, Kahuku?

By Jerry Campany on October 3, 2013

When the whistle blows to end the latest edition of the Kahuku–Farrington rivalry on Thursday night at Aloha Stadium, the winner will almost certainly not have the last word. The two teams have played multiple times in four of the last five years, but will have to make a stand against a tough West team to meet each other in the playoffs. It is a familiar refrain this time around, as the Govs and the Red Raiders represent the top […]

Pupule’s ballot: Voters catching up to Pupule

By Paul Honda on September 24, 2013

Mililani is moving up in the Star-Advertiser Top 10 poll, which means I’m ahead of the curve or just prophetic. Or just lucky. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Polls, of course, are not about predictions. Mililani simply looked to me like the second-best team in the state for some time — since Kamehameha’s loss to Punahou, to be precise. Didn’t really seem that way, though, while the Trojans were down 21-7 to Campbell at […]

Pupule’s ballot: Guess who at No. 2

By Paul Honda on September 19, 2013

Still some video to edit, but I’m squeezing this in. For the first time in weeks, we have virtually no debate about who is No. 1 in the islands. But I can’t help wondering just a bit about how good Mililani really is. They gave Punahou a serious battle in Week 2, a closer game than Kamehameha gave the Buffanblu. Even Lahainaluna, despite its lack of strength of schedule, has been impressive defensively. A dominant rushing attack. A dominant defense. […]

Pupule’s ballot: Still 1a and 1b

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2013

This may seem manic or chaotic or just wishy-washy, but here goes. I voted Kamehameha No. 1 on my ballot for the Star-Advertiser Prep Football Top 10 this week. Yet, I expect Punahou to win on a last-minute field goal against the Warriors tonight. Say whuhhh… It’s like this. The Warriors, my opinion, have proven to be worth of the top spot by virtue of five wins, almost all against elite competition. Punahou deserves the spot, too, but until we […]
