McGary returns to give Leilehua yet another weapon on offense

By Nick Abramo on September 1, 2018

Leilehua is so overstocked on weapons that it’s hard to tell who’s the biggest engine that makes it move. There are plenty of candidates for that honor, but it doesn’t really matter. The biggest takeaway is that they can hurt you if you’re not paying attention. Check the stats from Friday’s 63-12 victory over Nanakuli: >> Quarterback Max Nichols, 302 passing yards and five touchdowns. >> Wide receiver Jeremy Evans, six catches, 113 receiving yards, three touchdowns. >> Wide receiver […]

Leilehua’s offense starting to come together

By Nick Abramo on August 18, 2018

Offensive coordinator Andrew Manley talked to his Leilehua players about the high energy the team showed in Saturday’s 37-19 home victory over Castle. And it was true. After a little bit of a slow start (punt and then fumble) the Mules had a hop in their step the rest of the way. Quarterback Max Nichols spread the ball around for his 291 passing yards and four TDs.

By Brian McInnis on August 11, 2018

Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here? The words of Maximus Decimus Meridius, of Gladiator fame, came to mind as Leilehua and Kailua played to an at-times ugly, at-times brutal, at-times action packed duel at the Surfriders’ Alex Kane Stadium on Friday night. The Mules’ 9-yard touchdown connection between quarterback Max Nichols and receiver Jayzon Ramos was the difference in the 20-14 Leilehua win in overtime, but only after Kailua made a thrilling comeback to tie […]

GAME NIGHT 8/10: Leilehua/Kailua

By Brian McInnis on August 10, 2018

Leilehua 20, Kailua 14, FINAL ———- Raynen Ho-Mook’s desperation pass gets batted down in the end zone. Leilehua escapes with the OT victory. One snuffed run and two incomplete passes have Kailua facing 4th and 10 from the 20 … Kailua lets Leilehua off the hook. A huge encroachment penalty on Kailua as Leilehua prepared to line up a 33-yard field goal keeps the drive alive, and Max Nichols finds Jayzon Ramos for a 9-yard TD. Kick fails, though. Kailua […]

VIDEO: Farrington-Leilehua highlights

By Paul Honda on August 7, 2018

Both Farrington and Leilehua showed promise in this nonconference battle at Hugh Yoshida Stadium on Friday night. One of the recurring themes for the visiting Governors was speed both sides of the ball. An explosive ground attack kept much of the pressure off freshman quarterback Richard Tagataese, and the Govs defense came up with six sacks and a fumble return for a score. Leilehua showed some moxie, hanging close despite early struggles. First-year starting QB Max Nichols showed big-play capability […]

Sanchez gets a win in debut as Farrington head coach

By Paul Honda on August 3, 2018

If Daniel Sanchez was nervous about his debut as a head coach, he wasn’t letting it show. In fact, it was the composure of the Farrington football staff, particularly on a night when penalties nearly derailed the Governors’ efforts, that kept the visitors one step ahead of Leilehua on Friday. The Govs pulled away for a 35-16 win as Sanchez saw his team play more consistent football after halftime, when it was close at 14-6. “We’re disappointed with the personal […]
