Q&A: Carvalho on Waipahu-‘Iolani state tourney clash

By Paul Honda on November 8, 2018

Reigning in Division II was a dream for the Waipahu Marauders. One year after taking the throne in Oahu Interscholastic Association D-II, the Marauders hoisted their black flag on the OIA D-I landscape. It is a rare D-II/D-I back-to-back title trek, but coach Bryson Carvalho says the notion of moving all the way up to Open Division is still a few years off. Waipahu (8-4) hosts ‘Iolani on Friday in the semifinals of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships. […]

Q&A: Waipahu senior safety Deacon Kapea

By Paul Honda on November 6, 2018

It takes all 11 players to make a defensive unit this strong. Waipahu does that, and there’s leadership to sustain the kind of success the Marauders have achieved. They have allowed nine points in two playoff games en route to the OIA Division I football championship just one year after taking the D-II title. Deacon Kapea, who grew up playing sports at Village Park, returned from Damien during his sophomore year for a chance to play at the alma mater […]

Marauders flip the script on Mules

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 20, 2018

Turnovers fueled Leilehua’s second-half surge against Waipahu in their regular-season meeting. When the teams met again — with far higher stakes — on Friday, Waipahu did the taking. The Marauder secondary, living up to the school’s nickname, swiped four interceptions in the second half and Waipahu knocked off No. 9 Leilehua 29-6 in the semifinals of the OIA Division I playoffs. The win sent Waipahu, the division’s third seed, to next week’s championship game against the winner of Saturday’s semifinal […]
