By Hawaii Prep World on March 31, 2016

Greg Taguchi has stepped down as head football coach at Kalani. The full story from Paul Honda is in Friday’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Taguchi, 47, who was the head baseball coach for four seasons for the Falcons in the 1990s, had three different stints as the varsity football coach totaling 15 seasons. He led Kalani to its first winning season in 41 years in 2013, when the Falcons played in their first OIA playoff game. Kalani appeared in the playoffs again […]


Anuenue still not ready, forfeits fifth game

By Jerry Campany on September 10, 2015

Anuenue will forfeit this weekend’s scheduled game against Kalani, the fifth straight contest it has bowed out of. The school, which forfeited three games last year, opened the season with a 62-0 loss to St. Francis and has not had enough healthy players to suit up for a league game yet. Anuenue has three games remaining on its schedule, at Nanakuli, at Roosevelt and at Waialua. The latest forfeit gives Anuenue a 25-game losing streak, but only 16 of those […]

LIVE BLOG: Kalani 28, Kalaheo 6, F

By Billy Hull on August 21, 2015

An 0-2 start for either Kalani or Kalaheo in OIA Division-II play would make reaching the playoffs an extremely challenging task. The Falcons have made it each of the past two seasons but have started 0-2 overall for only the second time dating back to 2010. Their two losses are by a total of seven points. Kalaheo has lost its last five games in league play but scored two touchdowns in the second half last week against defending OIA D-II […]

LIVE BLOG: Pac-Five 16, Kalani 14

By Billy Hull on August 8, 2015

Two intriguing Division II teams kick off the Father Bray Classic on Saturday night as Pac-Five opens against Kalani. In last season’s opener, Pac-Five quarterback Kainoa Ferreira made his varsity debut as a sophomore and threw for a school-record 515 yards in a win over King Kekaulike. The Falcons are coming off back-to-back OIA D-II playoff appearances and are 10-9 over the last two seasons. Kalani played in the Father Bray Classic two years ago, losing 51-36 to host ‘Iolani. […]

Nanakuli’s tribe marches on

By Nick Abramo on October 30, 2014

Protected by the Waianae mountain range on three sides and by the ocean on the other, Nanakuli Valley is a perfect place for a tribe to build a fortress. It’s where the undefeated Golden Hawks call home, and it’s a place that instills pride in the players and coaches on the football team. “Defend the valley,” a slogan on their fans’ and coaches’ T-shirts, is the call heard ’round these parts this year. But now bigger things are on the […]

Nanakuli is not taking Kalani lightly

By Nick Abramo on October 15, 2014

Lyle Tuiloma stands tall in Nanakuli. If you gaze across the field during a Golden Hawks practice, game or postgame handshake, it’s doubtful that you’ll miss seeing the solidly built Tuiloma in jersey No. 74. That’s why it wasn’t a surprise to see Tuiloma, front and center, pointing toward his teammates and coaches in a celebration photo taken by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Bruce Asato moments after Nanakuli’s 28-21 comeback win over Pearl City on Sept. 26. It also wasn’t a […]
