LIVE BLOG: Mililani 48, Moanalua 26, final

By Paul Honda on October 4, 2014

First quarter The rain has stopped — for now. The synthetic turf has great drainage beneath. The lake that had formed at the 40-yard line a few hours ago is long gone. Traction is not bad, too. A lot of rubber granules down on that turf. We might get that wild passing frenzy after all. Mililani QB McKenzie Milton averages 27.5 attempts per game. Moanalua QB Kawika Keama-Jacobe averages 33.8. The Trojans draw first blood. An interception and 27-yard return […]

VIDEO: Kapolei at Moanalua

By Paul Honda on September 8, 2014

A back-and-forth battle for three quarters on a rainy night at Moanalua. Weather conditions favored the run-first Hurricanes and were a hindrance for the normally prolific passing attack of Na Menehune. Kapolei scores the final two touchdowns, both by Trensten Spragling, in a 25-14 win.

Elements favor Hurricanes in their 1st win

By Paul Honda on September 6, 2014

It was almost eerie the way the Moanalua Valley wind and rain fell just as the varsity game’s warmups began. I mean, it was boiling hot and sunny all through the JV game. And the rain and wind hardly let up. It wasn’t a downpour, just a steady sprinkle, sometimes wet enough to create puddles. And on Moanalua’s dirt-baked field — mud lakes are up and down from one end to the other between the hashmarks — that absolutely worked […]

LIVE BLOG: Kapolei at Moanalua

By Paul Honda on September 5, 2014

Beautiful weather for a matchup that has playoff implications. Kapolei is 0-3 in OIA Blue play and Moanalua is 1-2. Five of the seven division members will qualify for the playoffs, so a win here helps Moanalua’s cause tremendously. For Kapolei, this is almost a must-win situation. After a treacherous gauntlet of elite competition, this marks the first time this season the Hurricanes are not playing a Top 10 team — though Moanalua is awfully close. Na Menehune stunned then-ranked […]

Govs’ defense gets it done

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 30, 2014

Farrington gave up yards in bunches on Friday. But the Governors protected enough territory to keep Moanalua at arm’s length in a 47-27 win. Na Menehune generated 577 passing yards with receiver Karson Cruz accounting for 310 and two touchdowns. But the Farrington defense came up with four takeaways, one leading directly a touchdown and the other three coming after Moanalua had moved inside Govs’ 15. Na Menehune had first-and-goal on three occasions in the second half, only be thwarted […]

Moanalua receivers do it all

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 30, 2014

Moanalua coach Jason Cauley knew he had a playmaker in receiver Karson Cruz. He just had to convince Cruz — who also plays basketball and volleyball — of his potential on the football field. “I keep telling him ‘you’re a football guy too,’ ” Cauley said. “You just don’t know it, but you’re a football guy. “I had a conversation with him the other day and I was like, ‘I know volleyball is your ticket to college, but if you […]

Campbell looks like a complete team

By Nick Abramo on August 23, 2014

Here they come, so have fun stopping them. Campbell running back Terell Johnson slashes and gets to the outside quickly. Teammate Austin May changes the rhythm by taking draws up the middle with a combination of timing, toughness and speed. And then there’s Ezra Savea, who is only a sophomore at quarterback, throwing accurate passes in his first varsity football start. Add in some sure-handed targets like Kona Reiny-Aloy and the rangy Jayce Bantolina, along with a hungry line, and […]

Na Menehune come up big in opener

By Nick Abramo on August 16, 2014

One of the beautiful things about football is that the complexion of a game can change in a matter of minutes. For instance, take Moanalua’s 30-23 season-opening victory over No. 8 Waianae on Friday night. When the third-quarter closed, all that was left for Moanalua to do was control the ball and the clock, wrap up what looked like it would be a blowout, get on the bus and get out of there. Na Menehune, after all, held a commanding […]
