By Paul Honda on July 8, 2015

Team Stingrays finished in fifth place out of a field of 256 teams today at the End of the Trail Tournament in Oregon City, Ore. It was a solid performance for the Big Island squad comprised largely of players who powered Konawaena to a state championship in girls basketball last February — and coached by Bobbie Awa and staff. Chanelle Molina, the all-state player of the year, got through the tournament this week despite ankle and (shooting) hand injuries. Molina, […]

Hall pass: Sarah Lau

By Jerry Campany on June 6, 2015

Athletes like Sarah Lau don’t come around every year. Kamehameha’s Lau completed a career as a standout in volleyball, soccer and track and field and will be honored for it with an induction into the Enterprise / HHSAA Hall of Honor on June 7 at Dole Cannery Square’s Pomaikai Ballroom. To find the last girl to pull that unique trifecta of sports and do them well enough to reach the hall, you have to go way back to 2002 when […]


Hall pass: Tiyana Hallums

By Jerry Campany on June 4, 2015

Voters in the Star-Advertiser’s postseason awards say Tiyana Hallums was never the best volleyball player in the state, but she may have been on the best team of all time. Hallums was third on the Star-Advertiser’s Fab 15 volleyball list as a junior and second on the rankings as a senior behind Punahou’s McKenna Granato. She was behind teammate Alohi Robins-Hardy and Kahuku’s Adora Anae in 2013. Hallums will join Robins-Hardy in the Enterprise/HHSAA Hall of Honor on June 7 […]

Hall pass: Gabbie Ewing

By Jerry Campany on June 4, 2015

It’s hard to boil Gabbie Ewing‘s contribution to Hawaii Prep athletics by mere numbers. As a soccer player, she controls the middle and isn’t asked to put up obscene goal totals like Leo Klink and Sonest Furtado did. On the volleyball court, she wasn’t the type of player to rise above the net and drop bombs like Tiyana Hallums or McKenna Granato until she had to be. But the 16 member Hall of Honor committee had no problem judging intangibles […]

By Nick Abramo on May 7, 2015

A story on the University of Montana’s sports website introduced Moanalua outside hitter Lia Gaogao to the Grizzlies.

Gaogao is a two-time Honolulu Star-Advertiser Fab 15 choice, and she was named to the HHSAA state all-tournament team two years in a row. The 5-foot-11 Gaogao is projected to compete at left-side hitter. She is the sister of Remo Gaogao, who was a […]

LOI Day: Punahou SS picks Columbia

By Paul Honda on April 15, 2015

She swings a mighty bat, fields with a leather glove and one day… Krystin Wong will be handling scalpels and saving lives. The Punahou softball player was one of 59 student-athletes from around Oahu who signed a letter of intent this morning during the Pacific Islands Athletic Alliance signing ceremony at the Honolulu Elks Lodge, Waikiki. There were also signees for track and field, football and swimming. Volleyball and soccer players comprised much of the list of signees, but Wong […]
