Moanalua coach Savai’i Eselu arrived at the field on Saturday with a cast on his hand. By the end of the night, he had far too much company on the Na Menehune sideline in nursing an injury. Holding up against Kahuku’s red surge on both sides of the ball is challenging enough with a fully stocked depth chart. Moanalua’s was thinned early in Saturday’s 42-0 loss to the top-ranked Red Raiders, leaving Na Menehune hoping to get healthy in time […]
Just two games on Oahu on Saturday night but both involve some heavy hitters. No. 1 Kahuku plays for the first time in two years coming off a loss. The Red Raiders had their 18-game winning streak snapped last week at Bishop Gorman. Moanalua gets its shot against the state’s No. 1-ranked team. HISTORY: Kahuku leads the all-time series 12-0-1 with the one tie coming in 1979 (6-6). Live updates of the approximately 6:30 p.m. kickoff will follow below: FOURTH […]

Only two ranked teams are in action Friday night in a seven-game slate scheduled for Oahu. Kahuku and Waianae appear to have the top two spots locked up in the OIA Blue. Moanalua (3-2, 2-2) heads to Ewa Beach to play Campbell (2-3, 2-2) in a game that could likely determine which team ends up with the No. 3 seed. Moanalua WR Ryan Ramones currently leads the state with 781 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in five games. HISTORY: Campbell […]
It’s game day on the gridiron for roughly half the teams in the OIA and ILH. Nerdpod takes a look at some of the scintillating performances so far as we enter Week 7 of the prep football season.

(Part 1 features a handful or so of quarterback summaries in no particular order. Part 2 will be posted later this weekend. Maybe. WRs and RBs next week, along with updated QB summaries.) Sometimes, numbers are nothing more than false representations of an athlete’s true value. Baseball? A hitter could be a .400 guy with nobody on base, but a .100 guy with runners in scoring position. Basketball? Take 30 shots a game, and a true scorer should be averaging […]
Moanalua’s Alaka‘i Yuen and Ryan Ramones had a night to remember Friday. And, even better, they did it against their former coach and can now give him some friendly ribbing … like forever. But that coach, Arnold Martinez, who is now the head man at Kaiser, knows what he was up against, and making matters worse, he only had 25 players suited up. While Yuen, the quarterback, and Ramones, the receiver, hooked up 10 times for 228 yards and four […]
