VIDEO Q&A: Kealakehe 1st-year head coach Wyatt Nahale
By Paul Honda on June 21, 2019The hiring of Wyatt Nahale as Kealakehe’s new football coach could spark the Waveriders this fall. Kealakehe was a dominant program for years, but hit a lull in recent seasons. Nahale was the junior varsity coach at Konawaena last season, a longtime assistant coach who also brings six players, including son and quarterback Shayden Nahale, from the Wildcats. All six are residents of the Kealakehe district, and if Nahale and his staff regain momentum for the Waveriders, it could mean […]

It showed on Saturday when he tossed five touchdown passes in a 30-20 win over talented Mililani in the final of the Los Angeles Rams 7v7 tournament at […]
VIDEO: Hilo coach Kaeo Drummondo on LA Rams 7v7 tourney
By Paul Honda on June 15, 2019Free clinic, overnight stay and transportation paid for. It was an offer Hilo coach Kaeo Drummondo didn’t expect. His answer to the organizers of the Los Angeles Rams 7v7 tournament was an emphatic yes. It was the same for Kapaa and Lahainaluna. Hilo won the Division I state title in 2017 and finished second in ’18. Lahainaluna is a three-time D-II state champion, and Kapaa was the D-II runner-up. “It was too good an opportunity to pass up,” Drummondo said. […]
