Nanakuli finally returned to its renovated home field after a long stretch on the road, and the Golden Hawks hope to get another win in their new digs when they host dangerous Kaimuki in a playoff game. They lost to eventual regular-season, first-place finisher Radford 28-7, then beat Kalani 22-6, ending the Falcons’ playoff hopes. Nanakuli’s exemplary road success was rewarded.

Nanakuli hoping for a lot of Sunshine

By Jerry Campany on September 3, 2015

Despite a week of heavy rain around the islands, Waialua coach Lincoln Barit has probably seen his share of sunshine. Barit spent the week preparing his Bulldogs for a clash with reigning OIA White champion Nanakuli.

The Golden Hawks relied on a fluid offense and tenacious “D” en route to a 28-14 victory over Kalaheo in the Oahu Interscholastic Association Division II season opener for both squads at Kailua High School. Nanakuli’s studs stepped up first, including junior quarterback Nainoa Banks, who […]
