Seariders no stranger to Ewa Beach

By Jason Kaneshiro on September 11, 2013

The road to Ewa Beach has become quite familiar for the Waianae football team. The sixth-ranked Seariders will board the bus again on Friday for an OIA Red West game at No. 8 Campbell, the third straight meeting in the series to be played on the Sabers’ home field. Waianae (4-1, 2-1 OIA Red West) played all of its games on the road last year while the school’s bleachers were renovated, though the Seariders were the designated home team in a […]

Waianae’s steadfast ground attack took a toll on a gritty Aiea defense that spent a lot of time on the field.

Off to a busy start in Aiea, where Na Alii got a 50-plus-yard interception return for a touchdown by Francisco Jajo on Waianae’s opening possession.

Aiea might have something to Say about Willes

By Jerry Campany on August 20, 2013

There will certainly be no secrets when No. 5 Waianae visits fellow unbeaten Aiea on Saturday night. The game features two coaches who have been going at it ever since Danny Matsumoto took over at Waianae in 2000. Wendell Say has been at Aiea since 1991. Despite Waianae’s reputation as a perennial power, Say has always had his team prepared for the tough-running bunch. Matsumoto holds the career edge 7-5 and has won in each of the past two years […]

Football Tour: Waianae

Photos courtesy of Eli Kapu. A year removed from key departures, including the graduation of defensive cornerstone Kennedy Tulimasealii, it would be easy to doubt Waianae’s defensive prowess. But coach Danny Matsumoto and his staff always seem to get the most out of the defensive unit, and so many times, in so many places, a unit comes back even stronger without a superstar. Time will tell at Torii Field.

Kennedy Who? Waianae’s defense just fine

By Jerry Campany on August 10, 2013

Early in camp, Waianae coach Daniel Matsumoto was among the first to point out that one player is not going to be able replace Kennedy Tulimasealii. How about a whole corps of them? The Seariders sacked Farrington quarterback Montana Liana six times and pressured him many more in a 33-16 win over the Governors at Raymond Torii Field on Friday night. Nayton Kuresa led the way with two bags, followed by Senio Samisoni and Kalalena Mauga with one each. Shayne-Lopaka […]

Matsumoto vs. Okimoto to open season

By Jerry Campany on August 8, 2013

Of all of the games to open the season, none are as steeped in tradition as the game between OIA rivals Farrington and Waianae. The affair, which resumes at Waianae on Friday, pits two of the OIA’s longest-serving head coaches in Danny Matsumoto of Waianae and Randall Okimoto of Farrington. Okimoto has the edge on his rival 3-2 since he took over at the beginning of the 2002 season, and the Govs have won the last two meetings. The last […]

The show is back in Waianae

By Jerry Campany on July 31, 2013

The Waianae football team is no longer homeless. The Seariders played every game on the road last year while their bleachers were fixed up. They played well, and won as many as they lost, but were robbed of a true homecoming game. This year homecoming is scheduled for the last week of the season against Kapolei. “It really didn’t bother the kids much,” Waianae coach Daniel Matsumoto said. “But this will be a lot easier on the fans, I think […]
