By Paul Honda on April 1, 2019

At 6 feet, 5 inches and 260 pounds, Maceal Afaese usually stands out in a crowded room. Afaese stood out a little more over the weekend at the Polynesian Bowl Showcase in Las Vegas.

By Paul Honda on January 17, 2019

The stars have aligned for Team Mauka. What more could they want? When the Polynesian Hall of Fame Bowl kicks off on Saturday night at Aloha Stadium, the team in red will have phenom passer Taulia Tagovailoa at quarterback. The former Kapolei record-breaker is enthused about his offense, which includes pass catchers who are commits to Alabama, Ohio State and Oregon. “Patrick Mahomes. Everybody knows Patrick Mahomes. This is Taulia Mahomes,” said wide receiver DeMarco Hellams of DeMatha Catholic (Md.), […]

CLOSING THE BOOK: Kapolei Hurricanes

By Jerry Campany on October 26, 2018

The Kapolei Hurricanes probably knew that competing in the Open Division might bring some struggles, but the Hurricanes suffered their first losing season since 2014. The numbers say there was not as much of a difference between this edition of Hurricanes and some of the past ones. Kapolei averaged 19.2 points per game, its lowest since 2014 but only a few points lower than last year’s 21.6. While the offense did its usual thing, the defense was victimized by the […]

By Brian McInnis on October 20, 2018

After a 33-13 loss at Kahuku on Friday night, the Kapolei Hurricanes’ season stands upon the edge of a coin. The Hurricanes (3-7 overall, 1-4 OIA Open Division) fell into a three-way tie with Farrington and Waianae for the last of four spots for the OIA Open Division playoffs. A coin flip, or flips, will determine which of those three teams faces OIA top seed Mililani. Coach Darren Hernandez gathered his players upon the Carleton E. Weimer field right after […]

By Christian Shimabuku on October 19, 2018

No. 5 Kahuku 33, Kapolei 13, Final ———- 10:09: Kapolei turns it over on downs one last time, Kahuku takes one final knee, and 33-13 is your final. Kapolei must now await the end of the Campbell-Waianae game to know its fate. 10:03: Heffernan gets his second score of the day on a 2-yard rush and this one’s pretty much over. Erickson’s extra point attempt is no good but the Kahuku lead is 33-13 with 1:22 to go. 9:58: Kapolei […]

Mililani finishes undefeated; Kapolei has work to do

By Nick Abramo on October 6, 2018

The Mililani Trojans shook off a subpar, scoreless first quarter and went on a 35-point spree before halftime to finish their OIA Open regular season undefeated in Friday night’s 49-7 victory over Kapolei on the Hurricanes’ home field. Mililani (7-2, 5-0) will be sitting pretty with a bye for the next two weeks before they play a league semifinal game on the weekend of Oct. 26-27. For Kapolei, it’s desperation time. The Hurricanes (3-5 overall) are sitting at 1-2 in […]
