The Latest
Kapaʻa made sure this rematch had a different ending.
After last year’s title game loss, the second-seeded Warriors returned to Waipio and defeated top-seeded Kamehameha-Hawaiʻi 3-0 in the Hele/HHSAA Division II Boys Soccer State Championship, claiming their fourth state crown and first since 2019. The win capped an unbeaten 13-0-2 season.
‘Iolani faced its first deficit of the season Wednesday night — and still walked away with another state title.
The Raiders rallied from an early goal to defeat Punahou 5-2 at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex, successfully defending their Hele/HHSAA Division I crown. Chase Yamashita scored twice, while Devin Lee, Soichi Amakata and Brody Awaya also found the back of the net as ‘Iolani pulled away with a dominant second half.
Another Year. Same Result.
Kamehameha added another banner to the rafters, taking down ‘Iolani 50-39 to secure the Division I state championship and cap an undefeated run through league play.
This one didn’t start comfortably. The Raiders struck first, building an early six-point lead and forcing the Warriors to respond. They did — and quickly. A decisive run to close the opening quarter flipped the momentum, and from that point forward, Kamehameha dictated the pace.
Despite several things not going its way through the first three periods, 'Iolani rallied from a nine-point deficit Wednesday night to defeat No. 3 seed Campbell, 37-31, in the Pacific Century Foundation Fund Team Aloha/Flying Hawaiian Foundation Girls State Championships.
University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball head coach Charlie Wade has assembled a juggernaut this season. The Warriors are so deep and so dangerous that even the next man up looks like an All-American.
When star opposite hitter Kristian Titriyski went down, Wade turned to a familiar replacement: his son, Kainoa. A former standout at Kamehameha Schools, Wade stepped into the lineup and delivered in a big way, racking up 44 kills and 55 points while earning Big West Offensive Player of the Week and AVCA National Player of the Week honors.
1. Adversity From The Get Go – Winter Storm Fern didn’t care if this was UH’s first trip to the Northeast in quite some time. Two separate flight itineraries were cancelled due to weather. Eventually, they got a non-stop flight to Chicago where...another weather delay forced them to stay the night in the area. The Rainbow Warriors eventually landed in The Quaker State Tuesday afternoon, a day later than originally planned and some 28 hours before their first match. The first ever trip to Loretto, PA included snow flurries and an outside temperature of three degrees at first serve against Saint Francis.
