Konawaena moves back into the Top 10 in latest Football Power Rankings

Michael Lasquero gives his Top 25 best teams in the state heading into the 10th weekend of the Hawaii High School Football season.

1. Mililani (8-0)

Previous rank: 1

Last week: beat No. 23 Kailua, 46-7

This week: at No. 3 Kapolei Saturday

Analysis: With Jayzen Joseph and Tritan Paaluhi leading the way, the Trojans rushed for a season-high 238 yards and five touchdowns on the ground in their win over the Surfriders. Mililani will look to complete an undefeated run through the regular season when it travels to Kapolei this weekend.

2. Campbell (6-2)

Previous rank: 2

Last week: beat No. 18 Leilehua, 28-3

This week: at No. 4 Kahuku Friday

Analysis: Senior WR Fatz Kupukaa had his best game of the season against Leilehua and finished with six receptions for 117 yards and two scores. A win this weekend at Kahuku will put the Sabers in position for a first round bye in the OIA Open Division playoffs.

3. Kapolei (6-1)

Previous rank: 3

Last week: beat No. 4 Kahuku, 20-14

This week: vs. No. 1 Mililani Saturday

Analysis: The Hurricanes built a 14-0 lead before getting the go-ahead touchdown pass from Jonez Nunuha to Noah Papu-Muaava in the fourth quarter to give Kapolei its first win over Kahuku since 2007. The Hurricanes can potentially be the No. 1 seed in the OIA playoffs if Kahuku beats Campbell and if Kapolei beats Mililani this weekend.

4. Kahuku (4-4)

Previous rank: 4

Last week: lost to No. 3 Kapolei, 20-14

This week: vs. No. 2 Campbell Friday

Analysis: Junior LB Siale Reid recorded 15 total tackles in the Red Raiders’ loss to the Hurricanes this past weekend. Friday’s game against Campbell is a big one as a loss would give Kahuku a losing record through the first 10 weeks of the season. The last time that the Red Raiders had a losing record at any point during the month of October was in 1996.

5. Waipahu (7-1)

Previous rank: 5

Last week: beat No. 21 Moanalua, 52-22

This week: vs. Radford Friday

Analysis: Sophomore ATH Jayse Braun had more yards of total offense, more points scored, more touchdowns and more interceptions than the entire Moanalua team as the Marauders continue to dominate the rest of the OIA in Division I. This weekend they will host a Radford team that hasn’t won a game since the first week of the season.

6. Kamehameha (3-4)

Previous rank: 6

Last week: idle

This week: idle

Analysis: The Warriors have another week off before hosting Saint Louis in a rematch next Saturday.

7. Kapaa (3-1-1)

Previous rank: 8

Last week: beat Waimea, 28-0

This week: vs. Kauai Saturday

Analysis: Senior QB Kaitin Mundon had his best game as a passer this season when he had 187 yards and three TDs through the air against three incompletions in the Warriors’ third shutout win in a row.

8. Aiea (5-1)

Previous rank: 9

Last week: beat Roosevelt, 46-0

This week: at No. 21 Moanalua Saturday

Analysis: Senior WR Ezra Spencer got into the end zone for the first time this season with a breakout game that saw him catch eight passes for 123 yards and two TDs in Na Alii’s second straight shutout victory since suffering their first loss of the year.

9. Konawaena (4-1)

Previous rank: 12

Last week: beat No. 11 KS-Hawaii, 30-21

This week: vs. Hilo Friday

Analysis: Konawaena built a 14-0 lead after the first quarter and held on late in its rematch with KS-Hawaii after losing to the Warriors earlier this season, 28-21. Not only did the Wildcats get revenge, but they also covered the 8-point differential tiebreaker they needed to hit in order to secure home-field advantage through the BIIF playoffs with their 9-point win. Makani Ige, who made nine total tackles in the game, helped cover the difference with a 36-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter for the final points of the night.

10. Waianae (5-1)

Previous rank: 10

Last week: beat No. 20 Farrington, 34-16

This week: vs. No. 17 Nanakuli Friday

Analysis: The Seariders continue to prove that they are a second-half team as they outscored Farrington, 28-0, to get back into the win column. Waianae has hold opponents without a point after halftime in its five wins so far this year.

11. Saint Louis (1-6)

Previous rank: 13

Last week: beat No. 8 Punahou, 13-3

This week: idle

Analysis: Sophomore QB Luke Shigeta caught threw and rushed for a touchdown in the fourth quarter in the Crusaders’ breakthrough win of the season. There still is a path to the ILH title and state berth for Saint Louis this season.

12. KS-Hawaii (4-2)

Previous rank: 11

Last week: lost to No. 12 Konawaena, 30-21

This week: at Keaau Saturday

Analysis: Junior RB Dallas Enriquez rushed for 91 yards and two TDs in the Warriors’ first loss since the first week of the season. KS-Hawaii will look to get back into the win column this weekend in their matchup against the Cougars after seeing the first scheduled meeting get canceled due to Hurricane Nola.

13. Punahou (1-5-1)

Previous rank: 7

Last week: lost to No. 13 Saint Louis, 13-3

This week: idle

Analysis: The Buffanblu had their opportunities, but costly mistakes in the red zone opened the door for the Crusaders to come back and get their first win of the season. Punahou has been competitive in its five-game losing streak, but the fact of the matter is this team has not tasted victory since the opening week of the season.

14. Saint Damien (3-3)

Previous rank: 14

Last week: idle

This week: idle

Analysis: The Monarchs are enjoying another week off and will look to continue their winning ways next week against Pac-Five.

18. Leilehua (0-6)

Last week: lost to No. 2 Campbell, 28-3

This week: vs. No. 23 Kailua Saturday

Analysis: Senior DB Willie Canyon made two interceptions in a spirited effort by the Mules as Leilehua avoided a mercy-rule loss for the first time this year in the regular season.

19. Kalaheo (6-0)

Previous rank: 19

Last week: beat McKinley, 42-0

This week: vs. Kaimuki at Farrington

Analysis: Senior ATH Loch Moorman had his best game as a passer when he threw for 220 yards and four scores in the Mustangs’ first mercy-rule since their OIA opener as they didi all their scoring against the Tigers in the first half.

20. Farrington (2-6)

Previous rank: 20

Last week: lost to No. 10 Waianae, 34-16

This week: at Roosevelt Friday

Analysis: The Governors got their first passing touchdown of the season to take a 16-6 halftime lead before giving up 28 consecutive points in their loss to the Seariders. Farrington will need to win its final two games of the season to have a chance at the postseason.

21. Moanalua (3-5)

Last week: lost to No. 5 Waipahu, 55-22

This week: vs. No. 8 Aiea Saturday

This week: idle

Analysis: Senior ATH Kamalei Bullock had a breakout game as a receiver with four receptions for 44 yards and three TDs in the Warriors’ win over the Manta Rays.

Last week: beat Kaimuki, 49-0

This week: at Waialua Thursday

Analysis: Quarterbacks Jayden Delos Santos and Brydan Gaoiran combined for 186 passing yards and three TDs without an incompletion in the Chargers’ biggest win of the season.

KANEOHE — Kaiser built a four-touchdown lead, weathered a spirited Castle comeback and pulled away for a 42-20 victory Friday night in an OIA Division II game.

The Cougars got back into the win column as they improved to 4-2 overall and 3-2 in league play. Castle had its three-game winning streak snapped and fell to 3-5 overall and 3-2 in the OIA.

Kaiser jumped to a 28-0 lead before Castle began to rally behind quarterback Draven Kalawa and receiver Mason Ohta.

The Cougars intercepted four passes, including Lawai’a AhSam’s 77-yard return for a touchdown that gave Kaiser a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.

Castle answered with two touchdown connections from Kalawa to Ohta, one before halftime and another to open the second half. Braden Domingo’s 23-yard touchdown catch cut Kaiser’s lead to 28-20 midway through the third quarter.

With momentum shifting toward the Knights, Kaiser junior cornerback Ryder Phelps came up with a crucial interception deep in Castle territory.

“I just saw the ball and I said, ‘I got to go get that,’” Phelps said.

The turnover set up a 6-yard touchdown pass from Koa Reis to Ka’ai Colton, restoring Kaiser’s momentum and giving the Cougars a 35-20 advantage.

Sophomore receiver Alaka’i Aweau then capped the scoring with a 59-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. Aweau finished with three catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns.

Phelps was named the Fun Factory VIP of the Game after recording the momentum-changing interception and four pass breakups.

“Defense did great, it was all of us really,” Phelps said. “Our D-line getting to the quarterback, forcing us to get picks. It really was the whole defense today.”

Jonah Shinagawa and Chance Kalahiki-Kikala also intercepted passes for Kaiser.

Phelps credited AhSam’s defensive touchdown for setting the tone early.

“His pick-six was great,” Phelps said. “It was good, I was surprised he could run that fast. It was just an all defense thing. Four picks, a lot of tackles, a lot of turnovers.”

Ohta was Castle’s top offensive performer, catching nine passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns.

The victory was particularly important for Kaiser after losses to Kalaheo and Pearl City.

“We definitely needed this,” Phelps said. “Those were two big losses and we needed this win to set us up in the playoffs. It was a great win for us and we needed this.”

With the postseason approaching, Phelps said the Cougars expect to build on Friday’s performance.

“You’ll expect great things from us,” he said. “Our coaches will keep us in check. We’re going to win the rest of the season and we’re going to stay disciplined.”

Hawaii Sports Radio Network Partners with Local Brand Sugar Caddy

Hawaii Sports Radio Network play-by-play announcers Chaz Mihara & Cara McClean in their Sugar Caddy polos getting ready to call an OIA girls volleyball game.

HONOLULU — Hawaiʻi Sports Radio Network is proud to welcome locally owned Sugar Caddy as the network’s Official Apparel Partner.

As part of the exclusive partnership, Sugar Caddy will outfit HSRN’s full-time team throughout the year, with the brand represented wherever the network goes — from OIA broadcasts and high school championship events to University of Hawaiʻi athletics coverage, interviews, media days and community appearances.

Hawaii Sports Radio Network’s Ku’ulei Agbayani, Paul Brecht, and Kyle Galdeira in their Sugar Caddy polos at Pearl City High School for OIA Football.

“Sugar Caddy just felt like the right fit for HSRN,” said HSRN Operations Manager Kuʻulei Agbayani. “We love what they’ve built as a local brand, but even more than that, their values align with ours. We both believe in supporting local, uplifting one another and finding ways for Hawaiʻi businesses to grow together.”

Co-founded by ʻEwa Beach native Ian Pantorilla and his brother-in-law Branden Agbunag, Sugar Caddy began during the COVID-19 pandemic after the two picked up golf and saw an opportunity to create apparel that was affordable, comfortable and more representative of the Hawaiʻi they knew.

What began as a family side project has since grown into a thriving local business while maintaining its focus on family, faith and community. Pantorilla said the original group spent years working their full-time jobs while putting the money earned from Sugar Caddy directly back into the business.

Today, Sugar Caddy offers locally designed golf and lifestyle apparel for men, women and keiki, including polos, hats, outerwear and accessories. The company has built its identity around bold designs that reflect Hawaiʻi while working with Native Hawaiian and Hawaiʻi-based artists to bring those designs to life.

That local connection remains an important part of the brand’s identity.

“We’re gonna do good business with good people, and then be good people while doing it,” Pantorilla said of the philosophy behind Sugar Caddy.

You’ll now see Sugar Caddy apparel throughout HSRN’s coverage of local sports as our team hits the sidelines, press boxes, gyms, fields and arenas across Hawaiʻi and on the continent.

Michael Lasquero gives his Top 25 best teams in the state heading into the ninth weekend of the Hawaii High School Football season.

1. Mililani (7-0)

Previous rank: 1

Last week: beat No. 2 Campbell, 35-30

This week: at No. 23 Kailua Friday

Analysis: Sophomore WR Ashton Grace had a breakout game with nine receptions for 137 yards and two TDs as the Trojans outlasted the Sabers in their toughest game of the year. The biggest thing that impressed me was the improved special teams play by Mililani as Damen Nakagawa’s kickoff return is what sparked the team’s comeback after falling 10-0 to start the game.

2. Campbell (5-2)

Previous rank: 2

Last week: lost to No. 1 Mililani, 35-30

This week: at No. 18 Leilehua Friday

Analysis: Senior QB Dallas Carter had one of his best games as a Saber in his return to Mililani with 283 yards passing and four touchdowns, which included two scoring strikes to Landyn Tamayo. Campbell actually gained over 100 yards of total offense more against the Trojans, which increases the hype for when the two teams have their eventual rematch later this year.

3. Kapolei (5-1)

Previous rank: 3

Last week: beat No. 23 Kailua, 58-14

This week: vs. No. 4 Kahuku Saturday

Analysis: Two different players recorded scoring hat tricks in senior RB Mikey Kapahu and junior ATH Zeph Salis in Kapolei’s blowout road win. Senior LB Kaimana Sione also had an incredible game against the Surfriders, tallying 13 tackles with five TFLs and three sacks in another strong defensive performance by the Hurricanes.

4. Kahuku (4-3)

Previous rank: 4

Last week: beat No. 18 Leilehua, 50-6

This week: at No. 3 Kapolei Saturday

Analysis: The Red Raiders snapped a three-game losing streak with a strong win at home against the Mules to set up a rematch of last season’s OIA Open Division championship game this weekend at Kapolei.

5. Waipahu (6-1)

Previous rank: 5

Last week: beat No. 9 Waianae, 42-14

This week: at No. 21 Moanalua Friday

Analysis: The stars came out to play for the Marauders in another dominant win. Sophomore WR Jayse Braun had his best game in a Waipahu uniform with eight receptions for 222 yards and three TDs. The last final regular season games for the Marauders are against teams that are trending to miss the playoffs.

6. Kamehameha (3-4)

Previous rank: 6

Last week: beat No. 10 Saint Louis, 23-3

This week: idle

Analysis: The Warriors’ offensive struggles came back against the Crusaders, gaining just 91 yards of total offense, but that didn’t matter with how strong their defensive unit was. Four different players recorded interceptions for Kamehameha, which included Frank Abreu’s 14-yard pick-six in the first quarter.

7. Punahou (1-4-1)

Previous rank: 7

Last week: lost to Cardinal Newman (California), 22-21

This week: at No. 13 Saint Louis Saturday

Analysis: The Buffanblu suffered their fourth straight loss of the season, but all of their losses have been in close games. They have a big opportunity to get their first win since Week 1 this weekend against Saint Louis.

8. Kapaa (2-1-1)

Previous rank: 8

Last week: idle

This week: vs. Waimea Saturday

Analysis: The Warriors will look for their third straight win this weekend as they host Waimea for the second time this season.

9. Aiea (4-1)

Previous rank: 13

Last week: beat Radford, 36-0

This week: at Roosevelt Friday

Analysis: Na Alii is back in the Top 10 this week after a dominant bounce back performance against the Rams. Sophomore ATH Kaipo Higa-Pogia had a breakout game running the ball with 10 carries for 127 yards and two TDs.

10. Waianae (4-1)

Previous rank: 9

Last week: lost to No. 5 Waipahu, 42-14

This week: at No. 20 Farrington Friday

Analysis: Despite the loss, sophomore RB Maxumus Quon-Kaleiopu continues to be a model of consistency with his fifth straight 100-yard rushing game. The Seariders proved they have the physicality to match up against Waipahu, they just lacked the ability to prevent the big play from happening in their first loss of the year.

11. KS-Hawaii (4-1)

Previous rank: 11

Last week: vs. Keaau (canceled)

This week: at No. 12 Konawaena Friday

Analysis: The Warriors will look to complete the regular season sweep over the Wildcats this weekend when they travel to Kealakekua.

12. Konawaena (3-1)

Previous rank: 12

Last week: at Hilo (canceled)

This week: vs. No. 11 KS-Hawaii Friday

Analysis: The Wildcats will try to avenge their first loss of the season when they host KS-Hawaii on Friday after a last week’s games on the Big Island were canceled due to Hurricane Nolo.

13. Saint Louis (0-6)

Previous rank: 10

Last week: lost to No. 6 Kamehameha, 23-3

This week: vs. No. 8 Punahou Saturday

Analysis: The Crusaders fall out of the Top 10 after another tough loss, but their season is far from over. Saint Louis still has an opportunity to turn things around and win the ILH championship, but it needs to start this weekend when it hosts Punahou in the team’s final home game of the year.

14. Saint Damien (3-3)

Previous rank: 16

Last week: beat No. 14 Iolani, 35-14

This week: idle

Analysis: After an 0-3 start, the Monarchs have evened their record with a big win over rival Iolani in the team’s first game since the school officially changed its name to Saint Damien. Two defensive scores — one each by Shea Benedict and Jay-Sean Aquino — contributed to a 28-point second quarter that the Monarchs rode to victory.

15. Baldwin (5-1)

Previous rank: 15

Last week: vs. Maui (postponed)

This week: vs. Maui at King Kekaulike Saturday

Analysis: After Hurricane Nolo pushed back their game against the Sabers, the Bears will retake the field this weekend.

16. Iolani (4-2)

Previous rank: 14

Last week: lost to No. 16 Damien, 35-14

This week: idle

Analysis: The Raiders dropped their regular season opener after giving up four interceptions to the Monarchs, two of which were returned for scores. Iolani will have a week off to regroup before hosting PAC-5.

17. Nanakuli (3-3)

Previous rank: 19

Last week: beat No. 17 Farrington, 28-0

This week: vs. Radford Friday

Analysis: The Golden Hawks climb back up the rankings after their second straight shutout victory. A win this weekend against the Rams will put Nanakuli above .500 for the first time since 2022.

18. Leilehua (0-5)

Previous rank: 18

Last week: lost to No. 4 Kahuku, 50-6

This week: vs. No. 2 Campbell Friday

Analysis: The Mules scored their first points in over a month in a road game against the Red Raiders over the weekend.

19. Kalaheo (5-0)

Previous rank: 20

Last week: beat Waialua, 44-13

This week: vs. McKinley Saturday

Analysis: The Mustangs continue to roll in OIA Division II play and are one of three teams in the state that are still undefeated.

20. Farrington (2-5)

Previous rank: 17

Last week: lost to No. 19 Nanakuli, 28-0

This week: vs. No. 10 Waianae Friday

Analysis: The Governors saw their brief winning streak come to an end with a shutout loss on the road to the Golden Hawks.

21. Moanalua (3-4)

Previous rank: 21

Last week: beat Roosevelt, 21-18

This week: vs. No. 5 Waipahu Friday

Analysis: Sophomore RB Titan Te’o combined for 162 yards and two TDs of total offense as Na Menehune got back into the win column in a close game against the Rough Riders. Moanalua can afford a loss to Waipahu in league play, but need to get wins over Aiea and Nanakuli in order to reach the postseason.

22. KS-Maui (4-1)

Previous rank: 22

Last week: vs. Kulanihakoi (postponed)

This week: vs. Kulanihakoi Friday

Analysis: The Warriors will face the Manta Rays for the second time this season after beating them 63-0 in round one.

Previous rank: 23

Last week: lost to No. 3 Kapolei, 58-14

This week: vs. No. 1 Mililani Friday

Previous rank: 25

Last week: beat No. 24 Kaiser, 52-27

This week: vs. Kaimuki at Farrington Saturday

25. Honokaa (4-0)

PEARL CITY — Campbell completed a season sweep of Pearl City with a 25-16, 25-16, 27-25 victory Monday night in an Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I West girls volleyball match.

The Sabers won their third consecutive match and improved to 6-2 in league play. The Chargers dropped to 3-5.

Campbell also defeated Pearl City in straight sets in their earlier meeting this season.

Senior setter Zsiare Lakalo led Campbell with 29 assists, eight digs and three service aces. She also helped the Sabers maintain their composure during a tight third set in which Pearl City pushed Campbell past the 25-point mark.

“I think we just really pulled it together and we really lean on each other,” Lakalo said, who was selected as the Fun Factory ‘VIP of the Game.’

“Even though we made those mistakes, we hang on each other. We know that it’s going to be alright and that we can get the next point no matter what and we always have each other’s backs.”

Outside hitter Kailie Thaler and middle blocker Haylee Scanlon each had nine kills for the Sabers. Opposite Azaiah Amosa added six kills, while Journey Souza and Ryelle Bajet had three apiece.

Amosa helped put Campbell in position to close out the match by setting up match point. Jalen Romero then finished it off for the Sabers.

Pearl City was led by Isabella-Rose Bayani, who had nine kills.

Libero Saydee Vera Cruz had a match-high 22 digs for the Chargers, while Peyton Kamekona and Astynn-Capri Martin each added nine digs.

Lakalo credited Campbell’s preparation for the team’s ability to handle Pearl City’s defense and extended rallies.

“I think we do it in practice enough,” Lakalo said. “We practice for these kind of things and I think the girls really have a bond on and off the court so it helps us stay together even more and this is what we’ve been practicing for so when it comes to game time it’s natural for us to come back.”

Campbell also relied on contributions throughout its lineup.

“Everybody pulls their weight,” Lakalo said. “I think they all did a good job adjusting to my sets as well. I think them being aggressive and knowing where to hit, that’s what we practice. We’re used to it, it’s normal for us.”

The Sabers return to OIA play with their league record now at 6-2, while Pearl City falls to 3-5.

WAIPAHU — Jake Garcia and Jayse Braun connected for three touchdowns as Waipahu rolled past Wai’anae 42-14 in a homecoming game Friday night at the Masa Yonamine Athletic Complex.

Garcia, a sophomore quarterback, completed 19 of 34 passes for 388 yards and four touchdowns with one interception, while Braun had a career night with eight receptions for 222 yards and three touchdowns.

The victory was the fifth straight for the Marauders, who improved to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in OIA Division I play.

Wai’anae suffered its first loss of the season and dropped to 4-1 overall and 2-1 in league play.

Waipahu never punted in the first half and built a 29-7 lead by halftime.

Braun accounted for three of Garcia’s four touchdown passes, while Lyric Anuenue caught the other. Anuenue finished with three receptions for 66 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown reception just before halftime that extended Waipahu’s lead.

Senior running back Tristan Pacheco also turned in a big performance for the Marauders, rushing for 189 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries.

Waipahu’s balanced attack kept the Seariders on their heels throughout the night as the Marauders continued to build on their strong start to the season.

Wai’anae was led by sophomore running back Maxumus Quon-Kaleiopu, who rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. The performance marked his fifth consecutive 100-yard game.

Makua McKeague scored Wai’anae’s other touchdown, returning a kickoff 80 yards with 1:34 remaining in regulation.

Waipahu will look to extend its winning streak when it travels to Moannalua next week, while Wai’anae will look to rebound from its first loss of the season at Farrington. Both games are slated for next Friday, Oct. 2.
