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. […]

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.
