By Paul Honda on February 2, 2021

JAN 3, 2002: Leo Sing Chow and other ILH aces throw gems

By Jerry Campany on January 3, 2021

On this date in 2002, a no-hitter in softball was no big deal. Punahou’s Sarah Weisskopf and Nicole Cazinha of Sacred Hearts threw abbreviated no-hitters, Ioneta Lei of Iolani shut out University and Kamehameha’s Leo Sing Chow yielded just one hit in a win over a Pac-Three team. The aces weren’t limited to pitching excellence as all but Weisskopf paired hits. Wiesskopf struck out 10 batters in her no-hitter and walked only one. Cazinha didn’t allow a walk but had […]

If schools reopen in October, then air riflery and bowling may be able to start on schedule. The chances are “good,” Hawaii High School Athletic Association Executive […]

By Paul Honda on September 16, 2020

Nellian McEnroe-Marinas’ high school coach compares her to Jocelyn Alo. Her club coach in California calls the sophomore a Top 10 player nationally. No matter the praise, family and friends call her Nelly. She misses her teammates and classmates at Maryknoll as Hawaii remains in COVID-19 lockdown. “I don’t like online (classes) that much.
