LIVE BLOG: Farrington 19, Kailua 13, F

By Paul Honda on September 12, 2015

Just a few minutes from kickoff here at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium. The modem I use for the laptop is a bit cranky today. I’ll blog via my phone instead so please bear with me. It’ll be a step slower and have maybe a few more typos. JV: Farrington 24, Kailua 19, final. FIRST QUARTER Nice opening match by the Govs but they botch a handoff exchange at the 10. Now it’s Kailua with a lengthy drive as the quarter ends. […]

Balance keeps Surfriders on their toes

By Paul Honda on September 5, 2015

In less than two seasons, the brain trust of Kailua Surfriders football has built a foundation of winning. It’s not just the 5-0 record, 4-0 in league play, that proves it. The Surfriders, guided by coach Joseph Hau‘oli Wong and his staff, can change tempo, go contrary to any defensive scheme when necessary, and do it with the kind of maturity that can be rare at the prep level. A 34-21 win over a much-improved Campbell squad was a sample […]

LIVE BLOG: Kailua 34, Campbell 21, F

By Paul Honda on September 4, 2015

KICKOFF 8:17 p.m. Getting a little muggy now. Breeze has died down. Hope these guys are well hydrated. FIRST QUARTER Gabe LeLesch scores easily on a 1-yard dive. Kailua drove 62 yards in 10 plays, aided by a late-hit personal foul by the Sabers on a third-down scramble by Noah Auld that was short of the first down. KAIL 7, CAM 0, 8:12. Campbell gets into the end zone quickly after a 51-yard kick return by Aaron Bunting. On third […]

Test gets even tougher for Campbell

By Jerry Campany on September 3, 2015

With Campbell in such a slump, it’s easy to forget what coach Amosa Amosa has done in Ewa Beach. The Sabers are 0-2 in the OIA Blue and fighting with rival Kapolei to stay out of the cellar. All they have to do to avoid that fate is beat unbeaten Kailua. Ouch. But it certainly can be done. Amosa has never lost to the Surfriders, instantly ending Kailua’s five game winning streak when he took over. How much of a […]

Lagazo provides dual threat for Kailua

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 30, 2015

Kailua junior Mark Lagazo filled the role of the “next man up” at a couple of positions for the Surfriders on Saturday. Listed as a running back and defensive back on the Kailua roster, Lagazo delivered big plays in both spots to help the Surfriders remain undefeated with a 34-21 win over Aiea. Part of Kailua’s rotation of five running backs, Lagazo was also pressed into duty as a cornerback. He set up the Surfriders’ second touchdown of the night […]
