Na Menehune come up big in opener

By Nick Abramo on August 16, 2014

One of the beautiful things about football is that the complexion of a game can change in a matter of minutes. For instance, take Moanalua’s 30-23 season-opening victory over No. 8 Waianae on Friday night. When the third-quarter closed, all that was left for Moanalua to do was control the ball and the clock, wrap up what looked like it would be a blowout, get on the bus and get out of there. Na Menehune, after all, held a commanding […]

Nick’s notebook: Scrimmage week

By Nick Abramo on August 1, 2014

Things learned, observed and taken in by osmosis while waltzing around various high school football training camps for a week: >> Kapolei running back Ronald Young won the best running back award at the All-Polynesian camp in Utah this summer. >> Hurricanes coach Darren Hernandez said his team could still be a factor even if it starts 0-3, which is a possibility since it opens the regular season at Kahuku, vs. Farrington at Roosevelt’s Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium, and at home […]

No. 8 Waianae All-State football

By Jerry Campany on July 31, 2014

Way back when Waianae ruled the OIA in the 1970s and 1980s, its success started with the last line of its defense. The Seariders, who appeared at No. 8 in the Star-Advertiser’s countdown, seem to always leave fans wondering why ‘good’ rarely turns to ‘great’ when the season winds down. An answer can probably be found in the defensive backfield. Waianae had the defensive player of the year seven times since 1975, five of them defensive backs. In all, 17 […]

Tonga, Kahuku defense bottle up Waianae

By Nick Abramo on October 21, 2013

Waianae quarterback Kekoa Kaluhiokalani ran the option offense smoothly all season long. He ran into a major problem, however, in the Seariders’ 45-20 season-ending loss to Kahuku on Friday night, facing pressure from everywhere along the Red Raiders’ defensive front. Kaluhiokalani was tackled behind the line of scrimmage 11 times and finished with minus-63 yards rushing on 14 attempts. Compare that to Kaluhiokalani’s output of 423 yards on 104 carries in nine previous games and the picture of a stout […]

Focused Kahuku takes care of business

Every once in a while, a coach will speak volumes of truth in one sentence. Reggie Torres did that Friday night

Video: Castle at #5 Waianae

By Paul Honda on October 15, 2013

Part 1 Part 2 Waianae 37, Castle 7. That doesn’t tell anyone exactly how tough Castle’s defense was for a stretch early in the game. The Seariders, playing at home, struggled to run the ball against a Castle defense with eight, sometimes nine in the box. But eventually, Castle’s ironmen bent a little, the offense made mistakes, and the Seariders took advantage.

Photo Tour: Waianae

By Paul Honda on October 13, 2013

I hadn’t been back to Waianae since last year, so this was a treat. If not for a busy Saturday, I would’ve tried out that restaurant on the main road that Eli Kapu always raves about. But they close after lunch. Instead, I got there before kickoff and shot game video from ground level. That’s sometimes more intense and entertaining, especially when run-first teams are involved. Castle showed a lot of mettle and actually kept the Seariders ground game under […]
