No. 9 Kailua gets it done in opener

By Brian McInnis on August 14, 2016

It wasn’t very pretty, but Kailua found a way to start a second straight season off with a victory under coach Joseph Wong. The host Surfriders prevailed 16-13 over Moanalua on Saturday night, relying heavily on their defense and some timely plays by senior Mark Lagazo on offense. “We’re missing some (ineligible) guys, we come back full strength next week,” Wong said. “I told them, it’s going to be a hard-fought battle tonight, regardless of whoever we play. Hold tight […]

Coaches chime in on Okimoto’s suggestion

By Paul Honda on April 19, 2016

Twenty years since he first began coaching at his alma mater, Randall Okimoto has proven to be a speak softly kind of guy. That’s always intriguing considering he was a record-setting running back at Farrington who went on to play at the University of Hawaii, where he earned his degree. “I knew from the start of my college career I wanted to be an educator. And the only place I wanted to be at that time was here at Farrington […]

It was the beginning of the football season in the fall that Gaisoa made an oral commitment to Washington State. The Cougars were the first to visit and recruit him. Other schools came after the season, but they were too late. Gaisoa wanted to get through the season […]
