Punahou’s defense had the edge for some time, but Kahuku’s offensive line eventually made adjustments and helped lead the Red Raiders to a 41-28 win over the No. 4 Buffanblu on Saturday. Four of the five O-line starters chatted after the game: left tackle Enokk Vimahi, center Trycen Mau, right guard Marcus Lombard and right tackle Micah Soliai Howlett. (Missing: left guard Bryce Beatty.)
There were a lot big plays for the Kahuku Red Raiders in a 41-28 comeback win over No. 4 Punahou on Saturday night at Carleton E. Weimer Field.
Marcus Lombard put it bluntly. “Punahou gave us cracks at first,” the Kahuku right guard said. It was a confession rooted in respect, of course, nothing illegal or dirty. Punahou’s defense brought some hammers and stuffed Kahuku’s ground game for some time in their Open Division clash on Saturday night at Carleton E. Weimer Field. But Kahuku didn’t stop. The body blows kept coming. The inside-the-tackles trench work gradually wore down Punahou’s stout front seven to pull out a 41-28 […]

Rewind just a few years back and Kahuku’s offense was a force of nature in the most legally brutal way imaginable. With quarterbacks injured and a surplus of 200- to 240-pound bruisers in house, the Red Raiders of that era went sledgehammer style every game. That led to a state championship, throwback style, with a dominant defense and a bevy of proud blockers who sacrificed for the greater good. Two coaches later, it has hardly taken much time for Big […]
Nine touchdowns later, No. 2 Kahuku had a 61-9 win over Division II powerhouse Konawaena. Here are the highlights, plus post-game chats with Kahuku quarterback Robbie Sauvao and running back Wes Alo-Maiava.
Kahuku’s 61-9 win over Konawaena on Saturday had all the hallmarks of Red Raider tradition on the gridiron. First-year head coach Sterling Carvalho chatted after the win at Carleton Weimer Field.
Game one is in the books for first-year head coach Sterling Carvalho. The former offensive coordinator has already left an imprint, merging the best of both worlds as No. 2 Kahuku overpowered Konawaena 61-9 on Saturday night at soggy Carleton Weimer Field. The Red Raiders were in sledgehammer mode early with running backs Wes Alo-Maiava and Toalei Lefau. Alo-Maiava rushed for 130 yards and touchdowns of 55, 5 and 5 yards in the first half, while Lefau rushed for a […]
