After a cornerstone win over Nevada powerhouse Liberty, a matchup on the road at Waianae could have been an emotional letdown scenario. Instead, the Trojans marched to a 50-6 victory behind a stellar defense sparked by defensive end Tristen Townes (59). Quarterback Brendyn Agbayani fired three TD passes in the victory.
Coming off their first loss of the season, the 10th-ranked Leilehua Mules played with a special fire on homecoming night against Aiea.
Highlights of O’Connor Eagles (Ariz.) at the Campbell Sabers. No. 5 Campbell outscored the visiting Eagles 47-35 as Blaine Hipa threw four TD passes. WR/DB Titus Mokiao-Atimalala hauled in three TD passes and returned two of his three interceptions to the house to finish the game with five TDs.
After two losses in three games, the Campbell Sabers were hungrier than ever. The No. 5 team in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 rebounded with a 47-35 win over O’Connor (Ariz.), and the balanced contributions up and down the roster were foundational. Five touchdowns by Titus Mokiao-Atimalala — three on passes of 62, 44 and 18 yards from sophomore Blaine Hipa — and interception returns of 44 and 81 yards were enough to fill a highlight reel for a lot […]

With a second offer, this one from Utah, Titus Mokiao-Atimalala can see a fork in the road. The Campbell junior, a standout receiver and defensive back, also has an offer from Hawaii. That’s the school that has a commit from older brother Tamatoa Mokiao-Atimalala, whose primary position is defensive back. Both brothers pull ironman duty with a few other Sabers on both sides of the ball. The younger brother will have time to make a decision. While Tamatoa turned down […]
Kaimuki sophomore quarterback Jayden Maiava threw for five touchdowns, including three to slotback/linebacker Kaulana Kaluna in a 61-7 win over Waialua at Tosh Nakasone Field. Maiava finished with 274 passing yards and rushed for 41 more, including another TD. Kaimuki improved to 2-0 in league play (3-1 overall).
Given the choice between diverting away from collisions or initiating contact, football player/wrestler/boxer/judoka Naomas Asuega-Fualaau prefers to treat defenders like bowling pins. Kaimuki’s senior running back/safety is off to a strong start, as is the case with his teammates. The Bulldogs are coming off a 61-7 win at Waialua and are now 2-0 in OIA Division II play (3-1 overall). In four games, he has rushed for 546 yards and four TDs on 60 carries. Quite a shift from his […]
