Balance helps Moanalua in playoff run

By Nick Abramo on October 8, 2016

Hawaii fans know the name Alakai Yuen. He’s Moanalua’s senior quarterback and he is considered one of the top at his position in the state. Usually, Na Menehune’s offense goes as he goes. The team, however, got a huge boost from its running game on Friday night in a 49-7 victory over Castle in the first round of the Oahu Interscholastic Association playoffs. Kea Rodrigues got the call early and often at running back and wound up with 64 yards […]

By Paul Honda on October 7, 2016

It’s the opening week of the OIA Division I playoffs, OIA D-II regular season is still in session, ILH is still battling for playoff positions, KIF and BIIF nearing the playoffs.

Why is that a big deal? The winner likely hosts an OIA first-round playoff game (unless OC-16 gets involved) while the loser would have to go on the road next week. Moanalua is coming off a 42-0 loss to Kahuku last week which marked the […]
