‘Iolani’s dynasty is over … for now

By Billy Hull on November 18, 2013

It happened so quickly, it was hard to process exactly what transpired in a matter of two hours at Kozuki Stadium last Saturday afternoon. Six-time defending Division II state champion ‘Iolani was dominated on its own home field in the semifinals of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships against Kauai, losing 28-7 in a game that really wasn’t even that close. To see the mighty Raiders, winners of 12 straight games in the state tournament and seven of the […]

By Paul Honda on November 13, 2013

(The following is a little extra info on the ‘Iolani-Kauai semifinal game that was cut from my preview story that ran in Wednesday’s Star-Advertiser (subscriber content). Kickoff is set for Saturday, 2 p.m., in this First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Division II State Football Championships matchup.) (Kauai) linebackers James Bukoski (5-8, 170), Pono Bukoski (5-10, 155) and Keanu Hanohano (5-7, 175) are mobile finishers. Hanohano moves to the defensive line sometimes.

Uphill climbs for Kaiser, Kauai

By Jerry Campany on November 10, 2013

Congratulations, Kaiser and Kauai. Soak in the glory that comes with your rare victories in the state tournament. Because if history is any judge, the first step was a mere stride in your journey. The second step will be so much bigger. While the Red Raiders and Cougars were battling to stay alive, ‘Iolani and Lahainaluna have been watching and waiting. The six-time defending champion Raiders host Kauai and the MIL king Lunas wait for a visit from Kaiser. The […]

Pupule’s weekend wrap

By Paul Honda on November 10, 2013

It wasn’t the busiest weekend as prep football matchups go, but we learned a lot in those four state-tournament games. Two teams that Bleed Maroon The Farrington Governors endured a week that nobody could’ve imagined. The Farrington Governors stepped up and dealt with the loss of Dayne Ortiz in a way that they’ll remember forever. They honored the senior cornerback in so many ways, and they learned that they are not alone. Other teams came to support the Govs, through […]

Video: ‘Iolani vs. Damien

By Paul Honda on October 31, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 ‘Iolani captured its 10th consecutive ILH Division II title with this 28-7 win. It is telling how dynastic the Raiders are in D-II. They came through in the ILH season despite injuries to some key players, mobilizing a number of first-year starters. Damien was senior-heavy this year, but ‘Iolani remains the champ. The return of defensive backs J.T. Los Banos and Max Look were key, as was the return of wide receiver Austin Ohira. Running back […]

Trench Warfare 4: Marc Ma vs. Daniel Eli

By Jerry Campany on October 29, 2013

The ‘Iolani defensive tackle and the Damien guard won’t bang heads on every play, as Marc Ma flip-flops the side he is playing on, but they will certainly bang heads enough. Daniel Eli, a senior, enjoys a weight advantage at 5-foot-7, 270 pounds but Ma (6-2, 214) holds a decided reach advantage. All scoring is 10-point must, and completely subjective. Round 1 The first time the two engage, Eli gets help from Paul Galang. It doesn’t become a theme, though, […]
