ILH keeping close eye on hits

By Paul Honda on September 18, 2013

Officially, it wasn’t a meeting. Still, Punahou coach Kale Ane was willing to discuss the issue with the Interscholastic League of Honolulu before and after his team’s game with Kamehameha over the weekend. “It was a very informal phone conversation with the football coordinator (Georges Gilbert),” Ane said on Tuesday. “It was more talking about the game so we’re aware of things.” Clearly, in a new world of rule changes to protect players, the word is safety, and that word […]

Video: #1 Punahou vs. #2 Kamehameha

By Paul Honda on September 16, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Defense wins championships. Defense wins mid-season showdowns, too. Punahou 24, Kamehameha 0. Factor in these noteworthy events: Kamehameha’s opening drive stalled near the goal line, disrupted by a delay-of-game penalty, and finished with a missed field-goal try. Later, a breakaway run by prolific running back Brandon Kahookele was stopped by hustling Punahou defenders in the red zone. Again, no points for the Warriors. Finally, a goal-line stand by Punahou in the final minute. Everything […]

Update: Punahou 24, Kamehameha 0, final

By Paul Honda on September 14, 2013

8:02 p.m. We’re a few minutes away from kickoff. Kamehameha in navy blue jerseys, pants and helmets. Punahou in white jerseys, pants and blue helmet. Good crowd here at Aloha Stadium. Canton Kaumatule looked good in pre-game warmups. 8:10 p.m. Punahou misses two opportunities: Larry Tuileta missed a wide-open receiver at the pylon, and was just a bit off on a screen pass to Kotoni Sekona on a big blitz by Kamehameha. Charles McDonald was short on a 47-yard field-goal […]

Update: Saint Louis 49, ‘Iolani 13, final

By Paul Honda on September 14, 2013

5:09 p.m. We’re about 4 minutes away from kickoff for No. 3 Saint Louis and No. 10 ‘Iolani. They have quite a history together. 5:21 p.m. Keoni-Kordell Makekau’s 30-yard field goal gives ‘Iolani a 3-0 lead with 9:39 to go in the first quarter. 5:28 p.m. Crusaders are in hurry-up mode and drive to the ‘Iolani 8-yard line before stalling. On fourth down, they go for it rather than kick a field goal, which leads to a fumble by Ryder […]

From the NFL to the ILH

By Dave Reardon on September 14, 2013

An interesting sidebar to tonight’s big game is that both head coaches are former NFL players. Punahou’s Kale Ane was a center who specialized in long-snapping for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1975 to 1980 and with the Green Bay Packers in 1981. Kamehameha’s Doug Cosbie played tight end for the Dallas Cowboys from 1979 to 1988. Ane doesn’t recall matching wits as a head coach previously against a fellow NFL alumnus. “I think I came back to Punahou after […]

Pupule’s ballot: Still 1a and 1b

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2013

This may seem manic or chaotic or just wishy-washy, but here goes. I voted Kamehameha No. 1 on my ballot for the Star-Advertiser Prep Football Top 10 this week. Yet, I expect Punahou to win on a last-minute field goal against the Warriors tonight. Say whuhhh… It’s like this. The Warriors, my opinion, have proven to be worth of the top spot by virtue of five wins, almost all against elite competition. Punahou deserves the spot, too, but until we […]

Kamehameha’s Kahookele up against it

By Jerry Campany on September 11, 2013

If Kamehameha running back Brandon Kahookele wants to walk out of Aloha Stadium a winner on Saturday, he might want to take a trip up to Manoa to get a little advice from former Kahuku standout Aofaga Wily. Punahou’s defense has allowed a rusher to top 100 yards only six times since 2010, and Wily has done it to them three of those times. Even better for Kahookele and the bruisers in front of him, Kahuku won all three. No. […]

Punahou-Kamehameha a pivotal game

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 9, 2013

Punahou didn’t wait very long after Saturday’s win over Damien to start preparing for a matchup with second-ranked Kamehameha. “We’re watching film right now,” quarterback Larry Tuileta said before heading to the locker room following the 48-0 victory at Alexander Field. Punahou (3-0, 1-0 ILH) edged Kamehameha (5-0, 2-0) by a single point for the top spot in last week’s Star-Advertiser rankings, and Saturday’s game — the finale of an ILH tripleheader at Aloha Stadium — will be a pivotal point […]
