Leilehua vs. ‘Iolani was a tug of war between superb coaching staffs, and a lot of fun to watch again on video.
For a while, the tempo in Saturday’s matchup between Leilehua and ‘Iolani rivaled that of the just-completed NCAA Summer League basketball at Manoa Gym. The fast-break styles of both teams produced a combined 91 points and 828 yards of total offense, and ‘Iolani coach Wendell Look summed up Leilehua’s 56-35 season-opening win with an extension of the hoops analogy. “They got a couple breakaways and dunked on our head,” he said. Leilehua scored three touchdowns on plays of more than […]
2:52 p.m. A whirlwind first quarter at Eddie Hamada Field. The visiting Mules took a 7-0 lead on a 4-yard blast by Lecory Wynn, but Austin Jim On’s touchdown pass brought the Raiders back. The tailback, Ikaika Piceno, scored on an option pitch to give the Mules the lead again, but ‘Iolani answered with another touchdown strike by the lefty, Jim On. Max Look picked off a Mack Eberhardt pass and returned it 40-plus yards to the Leilehua 3-yard line […]
Highlights of ‘Iolani vs. Kalani, Father Bray Classic, Saturday, Aug. 10, 2013, Aloha Stadium.
These are your daddy’s preseason games. So often high school coaches approach preseason games the same way NFL coaches do, getting their starters in for a series or two and settling back to watch everyone else get a chance after that. But in the first week of 2013, it seemed everyone was going for the throat. Sure, Mililani used both its quarterbacks when coach Rod York has pledged that he will choose one to be the starter when games start […]
4:03 p.m. Radford and Pac-Five are ready to rumble. Pupule picks: Pupule Paul: Radford 41-7. The difference, the biggest one, is that Radford has a veteran quarterback in Cody Lui-Yuen, while the ‘Pack have a lot of inexperienced, first-year players. Felipe “Please spell my name right” Ojastro: Radford 17-10 Kalani Takase: Radford 24-10 Michael Lasquero: 27-20 It’s been a HOT and HUMID day. I won’t be surprised if we have some cases of cramps and dehydration out there. 4:14 p.m. […]
The 50th anniversary of ‘Iolani’s Father Bray Classic is Saturday night at Aloha Stadium, featuring the Raiders hosting Kalani in the nightcap. Pac-Five will kick things off against Radford. ‘Iolani will celebrate its triple crown of champions in 1950 and 1951, when the Raiders, under coach Father Bray, won ILH titles in football, basketball and baseball in the same season. Football was the toughest championship to win, as ‘Iolani started the season with a 7-2 loss to Farrington. Two games […]
