GAME NIGHT 9/21: Saint Louis/Kapolei

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 21, 2018

No. 1 Saint Louis 30, Kapolei 22, FINAL  Onside kick coming and Kapolei recovers at the Saint Louis 45. 0:16 still showing no timeouts for the Hurricanes. First down, incomplete. Looked like they wanted to try a hook and ladder. Clock went down to :03 reset to :10. Rapis is sacked by Jordan Botelho and Stanley McKenzie and that’ll do it. Saint Louis hangs on. On fourth down Rapis goes deep to Sheldon Mcleod who makes the catch for a […]

VIDEO: Kapolei’s defense shines at midway point

By Paul Honda on September 14, 2018

Up. Down. All around. The Kapolei Hurricanes have endured through adversity. Traveled near and far. Halfway through their regular season, the ‘Canes are ascending. With an offense that is finding its footing, No. 8 Kapolei is on a two-game win streak, now 3-2 overall and 1-0 in OIA Open play. It is defense, where they are deep and fairly experienced, where the Hurricanes are making their biggest strides. Kevin Burkel, originally an inside linebacker, is thriving outside. He sparked the […]

Hernandez passes Yonamine at No. 5 on OIA wins list

By Paul Honda on September 12, 2018

Darren Hernandez has coached plenty of football. He also loves to crank out a player’s video highlight, or several, and get them out to college coaches. It just so happens the longtime coach has done just that for decades while at Kapolei. But going back to his years as Campbell’s coach, Hernandez has racked up a formidable record. When the Hurricanes shut out Waianae on Saturday, Hernandez, now in his 23rd season as a head coach, surpassed Masa Yonamine for […]

He fired two touchdown passes, 37 yards to Ikari Stokes on a screen pass, and 46 yards to Elijah Badoyen on an exquisite corner-route pass. Bailey did throw two picks. The first went through the hands of a Kapolei receiver, and […]
