GAME NIGHT 9/30: Nanakuli/Kapolei

By Hawaii Prep World on September 30, 2016

The regular season begins to wind down Friday night with the OIA Division I playoffs set to begin next week. No. 4 Kapolei (6-1, 5-1) has already clinched the OIA Red title, a berth in the state tournament, and a bye in the first-round of the OIA playoffs heading into its regular-season finale tonight hosting Nanakuli (0-7, 0-6). The Golden Hawks have not won a game, but have lost four of their seven games by 14 points or less and […]

To knee or not to knee was not really a question

By Nick Abramo on September 26, 2016

Many people were wondering why Kapolei decided to run the ball from the Farrington 3 with less than a minute to go and leading 21-7 on Friday night. Why not take a knee? Hurricanes head coach Darren Hernandez has been hearing about it directly from some people and from screenshots from social media sent to him by players and assistants. Dreyden-Steele Kawewehi, who had not touched the ball all game perviously, got the handoff and rambled into the end zone […]

Kapolei’s defense is immense in title-clincher

By Nick Abramo on September 25, 2016

Head coach Darren Hernandez hadn’t quite done the math yet, so when he was told his Kapolei Hurricanes won their first-ever Oahu Interscholastic Association division title, he said, “We still have to beat Nanakuli next week.” As it turns out, mathematically speaking, Kapolei is the new OIA Red champion, even if the Hurricanes lose to the Golden Hawks next week. And while many focus on the contributions of sophomore quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa and the high-powered offense — and most deservedly […]

GAME NIGHT 9/24: Farrington/Kapolei

By Hawaii Prep World on September 24, 2016

Just two games on Oahu on Saturday night but both involve some heavy hitters. An already huge game between No. 6 Farrington (5-1, 5-1 OIA Red) and No. 5 Kapolei (5-1, 4-1) got even bigger with Mililani’s stunning loss to Kailua on Friday night. The winner of Saturday night’s game at Kapolei clinches the OIA Red title and No. 1 seed in the OIA playoffs. HISTORY: Farrington leads the all-time series 6-1 but Kapolei got its first win over the […]

Nerdpod: Receivers v2.0

By Paul Honda on September 22, 2016

The trend over the past couple seasons seems to be, still, opening up the field and becoming less dependent on superstar playmakers. True enough at ‘Iolani, Mililani, Saint Louis, Punahou, Kapolei, and on and on. But there are still some intriguing pass catchers who have made their mark on the gridiron this season. Here’s a look at some of them. No particular order, though the first several players are new to Nerdpod, followed with updates on receivers who debuted last […]

Kapolei’s new weaponry on display

By Paul Honda on September 16, 2016

It’s not common for a team that’s rolling along with a 5-1 record (4-1 in league play) to wonder, could there be more? The Kapolei Hurricanes are, so to speak, in a calm before the storm. With the return of some key players from injury — three of them on offense who hadn’t played a snap of regular-season football until Friday night — their explosive offense is suddenly in a bit of a reboot. It’s not an overhaul by any […]
