Quintero provides inspiration for Leilehua

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 12, 2013

Even while sitting in a wheelchair, Bryan Quintero might have been trying to devise a way onto the field Friday night. Quintero, a Leilehua senior, recently had surgery to insert a metal rod in his lower leg and returned to the sideline for the Mules’ OIA Red playoff game against Moanalua. He watched the proceedings wearing his jersey and shoulder pads as Leilehua rolled to a 54-17 win to advance to the quarterfinals. “I think he was trying to wheel […]

Rivalry week: Leilehua vs. Mililani

By Jerry Campany on September 24, 2013

After Leilehua beat Aiea to break a two-game losing streak, head coach Nolan Tokuda talked about the secret to his team’s success. “The main thing we learned after two losses is that it has to be fun for the kids,” Tokuda said. “It wasn’t fun for the kids, and that was on us coaches. Now it seems like they are having fun.” The Mules will certainly have fun this week. It’s rivalry week in Central Oahu, time for the (usually) […]

Pupule’s ballot: Voters catching up to Pupule

By Paul Honda on September 24, 2013

Mililani is moving up in the Star-Advertiser Top 10 poll, which means I’m ahead of the curve or just prophetic. Or just lucky. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Polls, of course, are not about predictions. Mililani simply looked to me like the second-best team in the state for some time — since Kamehameha’s loss to Punahou, to be precise. Didn’t really seem that way, though, while the Trojans were down 21-7 to Campbell at […]

Pupule’s ballot: Guess who at No. 2

By Paul Honda on September 19, 2013

Still some video to edit, but I’m squeezing this in. For the first time in weeks, we have virtually no debate about who is No. 1 in the islands. But I can’t help wondering just a bit about how good Mililani really is. They gave Punahou a serious battle in Week 2, a closer game than Kamehameha gave the Buffanblu. Even Lahainaluna, despite its lack of strength of schedule, has been impressive defensively. A dominant rushing attack. A dominant defense. […]

Kapolei leaves Leilehua stunned

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 14, 2013

From beginning to end, it was simply a weird and wild night in Wahiawa. The weirdness started in warmups when a power outage knocked out the lights at Hugh Yoshida Stadium. The night ended with a wild Kapolei comeback in the fourth quarter as the Hurricanes scored 35 unanswered points in a 48-27 win over host Leilehua to pick up their third straight win. About an hour after the game and back on the Kapolei campus, Hurricanes head coach Darren […]

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 […]

Leilehua looks to bounce back this week

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 12, 2013

Losing streaks don’t come often at Leilehua. Coming into this season, the Mules are 15-6 in games following a loss during Nolan Tokuda’s eight years as Leilehua’s head coach (not counting 2011, when Mark Kurisu served as interim head coach). Last year, Leilehua rebounded from a loss to Aiea with a 47-0 win at Kapolei. The Mules later narrowly avoided dropping consecutive games when they followed an overtime loss to Campbell with an overtime win over Waipahu. Leilehua’s resilience will […]
