The night McKinley beat Waianae

By Jerry Campany on September 4, 2015

McKinley will show up on Saturday like it always does, lining up against Waianae and hoping for a miracle. It is not as far-fetched a thought as it would appear, a lot of football depends on how the ball bounces. The Seariders have lost to the Tigers only once since 1973, going 10-1, but that one loss might be a clue on how to accomplish the impossible. McKinley ended Waianae’s season in shocking fashion way back in 2002 by a […]

Finally approaching kickoff for the varsity game. The JV game had a wild second half. The JV Mules rallied from a 20-6 deficit for a 32-28 win. Kalani Takase is reporting that Waianae’s starting QB, Jaren Ulu, will sit the first half for disciplinary reasons. FIRST QUARTER Quinn Searle, a 6-foot-2, 145-pound junior, started at QB for the Seariders. Both teams have punted on their opening series. WAIN has the ball back at its 30. Searle fumbles for the second […]

Onside kick helps Waianae take control

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 22, 2015

While Waianae’s emphasis on the ground game was expected, a surprise on special teams helped the Seariders establish control of Friday’s game at Castle. After marching 76 yards in 16 plays in a seven-plus minute scoring drive on their first possession, the Seariders kept the offense rolling by recovering an onside kick. “We just noticed something they did so we tried to capitalize on it,” first-year Waianae coach Walter Young said. The gamble was rewarded three plays later when running […]

Waianae stays closer to the vest for OT win

By Nick Abramo on August 15, 2015

Ball control was the winning formula in what may have been the most exciting football game of the season in Hawaii so far. Waianae wound up tripping Moanalua in overtime 43-37 with a steady diet of between-the-tackle runs in the game that also featured a dash of everything else. When the game was on the line, the Seariders (1-1) didn’t veer much from their pound, pound, pound plan, adding in an occasional pass to keep Na Menehune honest in the […]

By Paul Honda on August 7, 2015

We are roughly 2 minutes from the coin toss for the varsity matchup. Finally. This game won’t start until 8:25 p.m., probably, and won’t end until 10:45 or so. I’m expecting a balanced attack from Kamehameha, and if it skews one way, probably 60 percent running the ball by the Warriors. Waianae? I think they’ll keep it basic and run 70-30. That combination would make it a fast game… but I wouldn’t be shocked to see Waianae go contrary to […]

Waianae’s Tanielu commits to Utah

By Nick Abramo on August 4, 2015

Fourteen schools came calling, but only one got defensive tackle Handsome Tanielu‘s oral commitment. The 6-foot-2, 310-pound Tanielu, who graduated from Waianae in 2010 and played most recently for Snow College in Utah, committed to the Utah Utes last Tuesday, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Tanielu also tweeted the news, writing, “I would like to say that I’m committing to the University of Utah.” Boise State, BYU, Missouri, Baylor, Virginia and Oklahoma State were among the colleges Tanielu received […]
