Kahuku breaks into USA Today Top 25

By Billy Hull on August 22, 2016

The first regular-season USA Today Super 25 rankings came out Monday with only one new addition. Defending Hawaii state champion Kahuku is ranked No. 25 in the country after rolling to wins over Leilehua and Aiea to start the season. Kahuku, which has won 15 straight games and won a fan contest sponsored by USA Today finding American’s best football program, is ranked No. 5 in the West Region. The Red Raiders face their biggest test in the OIA regular […]

Kahuku teammates add to offer sheets

By Hawaii Prep World on August 21, 2016

Hawaii High School Football Recruiting Tracker. It’s been a pretty nice weekend for Kahuku teammates Kekaula Kaniho and Aliki Vimahi. First, they took part in a 50-7 thumping of Aiea on Friday night to stretch the top-ranked Red Raiders’ winning streak to 15 games dating back to the end of the 2014 season. Then, both received another Division I scholarship offer. Kaniho tweeted Saturday that Boise State was the eighth school to make him a scholarship offer: Very thankful & […]

As expected, Kahuku and Aiea are a tier apart

By Nick Abramo on August 20, 2016

Without intending to do so, Aiea football head coach Wendell Say summed up what is wrong with Hawaii high school football’s competitive balance. It was after Na Alii’s 50-7 loss at Kahuku on Friday night, when he said, “Playing a strong team like this doesn’t define us. What defines us is how we played, and we didn’t quit.” Sure enough, Aiea played well … or at least as well as any team can possibly play in a 43-point loss. Na […]


GAME NIGHT 8/19: Aiea/Kahuku

By Hawaii Prep World on August 19, 2016

Six games on Oahu are scheduled for Friday night. The OIA enters the first week of divisional play after the seven cross-division matchups last week, plus there’s a very intriguing Division II game at Leilehua featuring two teams that might see each other again in the state tournament. The Red Raiders of 2015, battling injuries, turned to a bulldozing, red wall of pound-until-they-cry-for-mercy blockers on nearly every play. In 2016, they have evolved. That’s what a relatively healthy roster can […]

Fans glimpse 2016 version of Kahuku FB

By Nick Abramo on August 13, 2016

Up until Friday night, it had been all practices and scrimmages for the 2016 Kahuku football team. The Red Raiders didn’t play in the first week of the season last weekend, so lots of Hawaii fans were itching to see what this team has going for it this time around. The last time they hit the field, it was for the state championship to wrap up an undefeated season in Vavae Tata‘s first season as the head coach last November. […]

GAME NIGHT 8/12: Kahuku/Leilehua

By Hawaii Prep World on August 12, 2016

Week 2 of the Hawaii high school football season begins Friday with five games on Oahu and two others involving Oahu teams taking place on Maui. The defending state champion Kahuku Red Raiders open the year on a 13-game winning streak and have never lost under second-year head coach Vavae Tata. This is just the fifth time since 2002 Kahuku has opened the season against an OIA team. Leilehua’s last win against Kahuku came in the 2008 state tournament when […]
