Kahuku’s Williams leads Class of 2014

By Billy Hull on August 26, 2013

Scout.com has updated its list of the top 15 high school football recruits for the Class of 2014 from Hawaii. Leading the way is uncommitted Kahuku defensive end Lamone Williams, who is listed at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds. Six of the next seven listed are thought to be committed to the University of Hawaii, although that could change for a couple of recruits, most notably Kaiser linebacker Fitou Fisiiahi. The only player in the top 15 headed to the mainland […]

Kahuku’s Liua good for a highlight or two

By Jerry Campany on August 24, 2013

Of all of the plays in third-ranked Kahuku’s offensive arsenal, the simplest might be the most effective. The two-time defending champions usually can be counted on to run the ball, and run it a lot. In Friday’s win over Kaimuki, they showed off a variety of option pitches to both sides, off-tackle plays and traps. Every one of them went to talented tailback Soli Afalava, who toted the ball 18 times for 120 yards, including second-half runs of 30 and […]

It’s a lock: Kahuku opens OIA season

By Jerry Campany on August 22, 2013

Maybe it is a good thing that newspapers don’t print point spreads for high school football games any more, because no number would be too high when Kahuku opens league play. The Red Raiders are undefeated in OIA openers since the state championship era began in 1999, and they haven’t even been challenged. Only once in that span has a team finished within a touchdown of the Red Raiders, when Kalaheo challenged Kahuku but came up short 33-26 in 2007. […]


Update: Saint Louis 45, Kahuku 24, final

By Paul Honda on August 17, 2013

7:21 p.m. Saint Louis kicked off, Kahuku returned to its 25-yard line and we’re underway! 7:26 p.m. Saint Louis fumbles away the punt return — there was no room to breathe — and Hiapo McCandless recovers for Kahuku at the Saint Louis 42-yard line. Senior Ronald Hurlbut Jr. is starting at quarterback for Kahuku. 7:28 p.m. Kahuku punts after another third-and-long goes for naught. Saint Louis ball on its 4-yard line. 7:35 p.m. Saint Louis gets on the scoreboard, touchdown […]

Everyone looks good on TV

By Jerry Campany on August 14, 2013

Nothing stays on TV for 25 years without a little star power, and OC 16 has had more than enough to keep it going. The cable station, which began as KBLE-17, will begin its 25th year of broadcasting high school sports on Thursday when Punahou visits Mililani. Nobody knows which names will be remembered 25 years from now, just as nobody knew that one of the most recognizable names from that first game was Aiea’s little quarterback. Current Leilehua coach […]

Oahu’s rivalry week comes early

By Jerry Campany on August 12, 2013

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 […]
