Waianae is coming off a really good 15-point win against Kailua and wants to play spoiler. Live […]

Vavae Malepeai and the rest of the Mililani offense did their part to help freshman Dillon Gabriel get comfortable in his first varsity start on Saturday. Mililani coach Rod York gave Gabriel the starting assignment for the Trojans’ OIA Division I quarterfinal game against Moanalua, and it helps when he can turn around and hand the ball off to one of the state’s most prolific backs. Malepeai gave Gabriel a lead to work with by breaking loose on a 70-yard […]
The OIA’s most balanced conference (Blue) was often merciless for teams like Moanalua during the regular season. Last week’s 58-22 win at Leilehua demonstrated the strength of the playoff format, which allows all but the last-place teams of each conference to qualify for the playoffs. Alaka‘i Yuen‘s breakout season has yet to end. The junior has thrown 25 TD passes with just eight picks (2,286 yards) in nine games. Na Menehune continue to spread the ball around; seven players have […]

Favorite food by mom: Guisado (Puerto Rican beef stew). Favorite NFL team: St. Louis Rams. Favorite athlete: LeBron James. Favorite […]

His QB, all-state first-team selection McKenzie Milton, suffered a shoulder injury three weeks ago against Kailua. HPW: Kaysen Higa has played well since stepping into McKenzie’s role. Is he locked in as the starter even though he alternated with Dillon Gabriel this past weekend against Moanalua? York: Oh no, it’s open competition. It was going to be […]
