State champ football coaches come from 1 team

By Nick Abramo on February 25, 2015

Rod York looked like he wanted to get out on the field right now, and coach, or, maybe even play. He was jonesing for football, but instead was at the head table as a guest speaker for a gathering of ‘Iolani alumni and other special guests on Tuesday. The crowd at the Hukilau Honolulu Executive Center was mostly male, mostly sports-oriented, and most — it appeared — had a good time listening to the two reigning state championship football coaches.

By Nick Abramo on February 2, 2015

‘Iolani did not appeal for an exemption to a football classification rule at the ILH’s monthly meeting, athletic director Carl Schroers said Monday.

By Nick Abramo on November 28, 2014

Wendell Look has been around the championship block a few times. He’s had great and memorable teams at ‘Iolani, but this most recent version of the Raiders was one of the most satisfying for the veteran coach. After beating Lahainaluna 31-14 in the state Division II final last week, Look was asked if it was his toughest coaching job. The question came in light of the fact that ‘Iolani did not make the state final in 2013, thus ending a […]

This could’ve been the year Lahainaluna finally broke through to win the Division II state championship. Instead, ‘Iolani proved once again why it is the class of D-II with an utterly convincing 31-14 win on Friday in the final of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA State Championships. That’s eight state championships in the last 11 seasons for coach Wendell Look and his program. The Lunas came into the final unbeaten with a dominant ground attack, but the Raiders and defensive coordinator […]

By Billy Hull on November 21, 2014

It’s Oahu vs. Maui in the Division II state final as ‘Iolani, winner of seven of the last eight state football titles, takes on Lahainaluna, looking for its first state crown.
