Showcase format for Winner Circle/Trench Dawgz event

By Paul Honda on February 10, 2021

The players have been working out relentlessly. Consistently. In roughly one month, they’ll be heading to California for opportunity. The format created by host Winner Circle Athletics and football players from Hawaii will be similar to the PTP College Showcase held in Utah last fall. There will be no official game format, no score on the scoreboard, but the 1v1, 5v5, 7v7 and 11v11 battles will be fully padded, as they were in Utah. There will be no special teams […]

By Paul Honda on February 9, 2021

On the gridiron, the speed, versatility and reliability of Kalei Akagi made him a Swiss Army knife for Leilehua’s offense. Little did Akagi know that more than a year after playing his unexpectedly last high school football game — in November of 2019 — he would literally become a member of the U.S. Military Academy. Akagi signed a letter of intent to play football for Army. West Point awaits. “I feel honored and blessed with this opportunity to further my […]

Kamehameha pitcher Momi Lyman heading to Whitworth

By Paul Honda on February 9, 2021

Haley “Momi” Lyman is an optimist with a diamond in her heart. The Kamehameha softball pitcher signed with Whitworth last week, securing her future destination. The Warriors saw their promising 2020 season derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lyman hasn’t given up on a 2021 spring sports calendar. “This year? I feel like we’ll still be able to have a season. It’ll be great since we didn’t have a (2020) season, and I’ll be able to play my last year,” she […]

Kamehameha pitcher Shaydan Lovediro crafts a path to Bushnell

By Paul Honda on February 6, 2021

2020 was nearly as minimal as it got for a team and a pitcher when the high school baseball season got cancelled. Shaydan Lovediro made the most of it as junior-varsity hurler. Kamehameha played three JV baseball games and was on track to join the varsity, eventually. As the COVID-19 pandemic forced closures across the country, the 6-foot, 220-pound senior didn’t get to pitch for the Warriors’ varsity squad, but he remained busy. One year later — 11 months, to […]

Alema Moeava has the blueprint for survival and success. The 6-foot-2, 340-pound Punahou senior has the rare combination of versatility and resilience as a key offensive lineman. The left tackle signed a letter of intent with Valley City State (N.D.) on Wednesday. “I feel great, like a sigh of relief,” Moeava said on Thursday. “I love the campus. It’s very small and you get to know everybody. I felt very comfortable with the coaches. They’re very welcoming and I felt […]

By Paul Honda on February 5, 2021

Patience was stretched thin, but Anstyn Kauhi refused to lose hope. On Wednesday, the young man they call “Bubba” was rewarded when the Damien defensive back signed a letter of intent with Olivet Nazarene. That makes it two sons in the Kauhi family who are heading to the continent soon. Kauhi’s brother, Austyn Kauhi of Kamehameha, signed with Syracuse in December. “I feel good. I’m ready for college. My mom (Shantel Kauhi) worked hard for me to get this far,” […]

Season at Skyridge pays off for Kamehameha’s Kia‘i Keone

By Paul Honda on February 4, 2021

Last summer, Kia‘i Keone transferred to a school in Utah for a chance to play football. It turned out to be a winning move. The Kamehameha quarterback played in eight games for powerhouse Skyridge, drawing attention from a few colleges in the Rockies. On Wednesday, Keone signed a letter of intent with Colorado Mesa. “It’s a Division II school and a great program to play football in. The coaches showed me they really wanted me to be there,” said Keone, […]

By Paul Honda on February 3, 2021

There is no rush, but Kaikea Harrison is fine with being early. In Harrison’s universe, timing is everything. The time was right for the Punahou junior to make a commitment to Texas A&M baseball. On Monday, the smooth-fielding shortstop gave the Aggies his word. “I wanted to get it over with. It’s just been a long journey and especially how the times are now, it’s been harder for us as kids because of COVID,” Harrison said on Tuesday. Harrison, who […]
