Mililani Football

On this date in 2003, Mililani traveled to Waianae and did its best impression of Searider football. The Trojans dominated time of possession — usually Waianae’s forte — to leave the West side with a key 27-20 victory and control of the OIA Red West. Peter Ranses led the Trojans with 97 yards rushing and quarterback Maka Kahoano threw for 167 yards, 90 of them on seven catches by Darren Smith. Mililani improved to 7-0 and won its next two […]

Playing in the Commanders contest, Motoyama’s versatility was in play. The Trojan running back/slotback had five receptions for 26 yards in a battle dominated by […]

Mililani started the year with such high hopes. Then, things began to unravel a little bit. The season came to an abupt end for the fourth-ranked Trojans Friday night in a disappointing 35-0 loss to No. 1 and still undefeated Saint Louis (11-0) in the Open Division semifinals of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships. From the outside looking in as the season wore on, it appeared that something went seriously wrong with the Mililani offense. What was a […]

Any moments of offensive rhythm between Mililani and Kahuku on Saturday night were like visits from a long-lost friend who couldn’t stay around to chat and catch up.
