Kahuku High defeats Punahou for 2005 state football championship

15 Red Raiders named to Advertiser All-State Teams

For the fourth time in the past six years, Kahuku has once again claimed the First Hawaiian Bank/Hawai'i High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) Division I football championship, this time by a spectacular 28-21 victory over Punahou.

Besides the thrilling win on Dec. 2nd at Aloha Stadium, this year's state final which some long-time fans are describing as one of the best they've ever seen was a classic for a number of reasons. For example, the championship game:

But in the end, it was Kahuku who came from behind and held on to their eventual 28-21 lead in a victory somewhat reminiscent of the Red Raiders' 27-26 championship win over St. Louis in 2003 to claim the 2005 state football crown.

It was an especially proud moment to see the Red Raiders bring their 11-1 2005 season to a close by doing their victory haka [war dance] mid-field at Aloha Stadium.

A summary of play action:

Kahuku's Shiloh Te'o received the opening kickoff, and after a series of short gains and one new set of downs, was forced to punt.

and held the lead for three quarters of the game

Punahou set their passing plans in motion on their first possession, but the Kahuku defense, led in the secondary by Suaesi Tuimaunei knocking down one of the balls, forced the Buffanblu to punt...which brought up the first big turnover of the game: Shiloh Te'o dropped the ball, and Punahou recovered on Kahuku's 34.

Kaniela Tuipulotu, B.J. Beatty, Joey Faifili (who played both ways) and Ka'eo Älö kept the defensive pressure on the Buffanblu, but with about six minutes left in the first quarter, a Punahou pass successfully sailed into the end zone, and their point-after kick was good: Score, 7-0.

Spotting the ensuing kickoff at the 20, Mälosi Te'o soon ran it out to the 45, but the Punahou D put on the brakes, and Kahuku was forced to punt on fourth down. The Buffanblu, harassed by Afa Bridenstine, couldn't do any better from their end, and also punted. Despite a few more yards gained by Joe Whittacker, the two teams exchanged another set of downs and punts until Kamuela Alisa caught a pass in the flat, followed by Te'o going all the way to Punahou's 15-yard-line. Kahuku went for it on the following fourth-and-one, with Alisa carrying the ball right up the middle and into the end zone, bring the score to 7-6 in Punahou's favor.

Lacking a place kicker a problem that would plague Kahuku throughout the game the Raiders tried for a two-point conversion, but didn't make it.

Taking the ball, Punahou mounted a strong drive, despite a Bridenstine katoosh and some great linebacking by Kevin Unga, and advanced the ball to first-and-goal distance. The Kahuku defense put on a strong effort, but on a Punahou play from the one-yard-line and after about a one-minute delay as officials conferred the Buffanblu were awarded their second TD of the evening. Score, 13-6 with about 4:00 left in the half. The PAT kick was good, and suddenly it was 14-6. This delayed call will undoubtedly be discussed for a long time to come.

Receiving, the Kahuku offense began advancing the ball when Kaulin Krebs hit Devin Unga, who was wide open in mid-field and then carried it all the way into pay dirt, executing a somersault across the goal line, an offense that moved the ball back to the 18-yard-line during the PAT try another two-point effort that didn't make it. Score, 14-12.

With about two minutes left in the half, the Kahuku defense forced the Buffanblu into punting on fourth down, and while Devin Unga got the ball all the way to Punahou's 36, the Red Raiders were not able to do much with a new set of downs...and the first half ended.

The second half

Soon after receiving the second-half kickoff, Punahou quickly moved the ball deep into Kahuku territory, but once again the Red Raider defense came through. The Puns went for it on fourth down, but their pass fell incomplete.

Unfortunately, Kahuku was not able to sustain any momentum with their own possession, and the ball went back to Punahou. Once again the Red Raider defense met the challenge, with Tuimaunei almost intercepting one pass, and Kevin Unga stopping a Buffanblu run. The Puns went for it on fourth-and-one, but their pass fell incomplete, leaving Kahuku with the ball on the Buffanblu 39.

Te'o ran the ball down to the 20 on the first down, and excitement was building; but then both Te'o and Whittacker were stopped, and although Redmond Tutor caught a pass, the Punahou defense stripped the ball from him and recovered it on their own 14.

This brought up a sustained Punahou drive that ended on the money in the opening moments of the fourth quarter with a pass across the middle, and a successful point-after. Score 21-12 against Kahuku.

Kahuku was not able to convert their downs on the kickoff reception, and punted. Punahou, likewise, was not able to convert, and punted back.

With about eight minutes left in the game, Kahuku took the ball on the 21-yard-line, and following an incomplete pass, Mälosi Te'o once again broke through for a spectacular 72-yard touchdown run, bringing the score to 21-18 and instilling renewed enthusiasm in Kahuku's "sea of red" fans. Kamuela Alisa also successfully crossed the goal line, good for a two-point PAT, and the score went to 21-20, with 7:35 left in the ball game. Plenty of time...

Starting their next possession from their 36-yard-line, Chico Ramirez intercepted the Punahou pass attempt, further energizing the Kahuku fans; but the Buffanblu defense dug deep, holding Te'o, sacking Krebs, and forcing Gary Nagy to punt, with his kick rolling all the way to the 2-yard-line.

With Punahou's quarterback operating from the end zone, he threw two incomplete passes, before Tuipulotu tackled him behind the goal line for a TWO-POINT SAFETY! immediately bringing the score to 22-21 the first time Kahuku held the lead.

Spotting the ball on the 20, Punahou punted and their defense successfully held the Red Raiders from any significant yardage, forcing Nagy to punt on downs. With about three minutes left in the game, Beatty deflected a pass upward, but nobody could see it.

On Punahou's next pass attempt, Ramirez intercepted the ball for another huge turnover and ran it back to the Buffanblu 5-yard-line. Alisa powered it over the goal line on the first down, to bring the score to 28-21. Punahou's D stopped the PAT on the one-yard-line.

With 2:37 left in the game, everybody realized a successful Punahou TD and point-after could still tie the game, which would throw it into overtime; or a two-point conversion if they were gutsy enough, could win everything. In other words, the game was far from over at this point.

Taking Kahuku's squib kick, Punahou began mounting a strong drive, advancing the ball to the Red Raider 40-yard-line with 1:16 left in the game and a new set of downs.

Kicking it up a notch, the Kahuku D-men stopped the next three Punahou passes. On fourth-and-10, the Buffanblu went for it, drawing the Raiders off-sides, and bringing up fourth-and-five on Kahuku's 35-yard-line.

Their next pass was good for another set of downs, starting on the 29, with 33 seconds left in the game.

The ensuing pass was good, burning only four seconds off the clock and advancing the ball all the way to Kahuku's two-yard-line and a new set of downs.

Then on the next play, while double-covering the Punahou receiver in the end zone, Tuimaunei intercepted the pass attempt for the BIGGEST TURNOVER of the game. Unbelievable! The Kahuku crowd went nuts!

Kahuku quarterback Krebs took a knee on the final play...and one of the most exciting state championship football games ever ended, 28-21, with Kahuku recapturing the state championship they last held in 2003.

Great congratulations go to all the Red Raiders for turning in an unforgettable 11-1, number-one ranked season, and to all the hard work on many people's parts it took to win the championship.

Head coach Siuaki Livai praised the Kahuku defense. "They really turned it on when it counted," he said, adding, "I'm glad that we're here. They [Punahou] ran a great game against us, but we made the most out of it."

Mälosi Te'o, who has been described as "the best running back in the state," said he told his teammates when the Red Raiders were trailing, "Let's do this. We've been practicing for this all year. It all came from the heart."

Indeed it does, which is why there's so much north shore pride in the Kahuku Red Raiders, our state champs.

 

Hanohano plans 'indigenous college' in Ko'olauloa

Peter Hanohano, J.D., Ph.D., whose family has lived in Punalu'u for many generations, is turning his love for Hawaiian culture and education into plans for an "indigenous college" in Ko'olauloa.

Peter Hanohano of Punaluu
Hanohano

Hanohano — a Kamehameha School graduate who went on to earn a bachelor's degree at BYU-Hawai'i, a masters in psychology from BYU, a J.D. from BYU Law School, and a doctorate from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, in First Nations or Indigenous Education — turned to education after practicing law for almost a decade.

He and others put together a successful program funded by Alu Like "to help Native Hawaiians make the transition to community college and then on to the University of Hawai'i. It was a recruitment, retention and graduation program."

Then, after a two-year stint at Southern Utah University, he went to Canada, "which was a wonderful, life-changing experience for my family and I. We went as Hawaiian educators, and we came back as indigenous educators. Our view of education and the world was expanded to be inclusive of all native and indigenous people," he said.

"At the time it was the first and only doctorate program in indigenous education. Up until then you had, for example, Hawaiian studies or Native American Studies, but the two never met.

"All of the people that I studied with, our cohort, were natives who were grounded in both western educational thought and their own cultural traditions and practices," Hanohano continued.

"I would say Canadian Indians and New Zealand Maori are leaders in terms of native rights and indigenous education. Their rights are guaranteed by treaties, which the courts have upheld and enforced, unlike the U.S. which has not honored and kept any of its treaty obligations.

"In Canada the First Nations people have total control over their lives and lands. They have tribal governments, their own courts, funding, laws. To me, they have all the power and authority to do what they want to do, and yet in many instances, they elect to duplicate white men's organizations and laws — except for tribal colleges."

Hanohano explained his friend, Keoni Agard, created a tribal college for Hawai'i on paper in '99. They began collaborating in 2004 and established Ke Ala Pono Indigenous College in 2005. "It's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, and at this point we're seeking funding," he said.

Others currently involved include former Lä'ie resident Emil Wolfgramm, now of Waiähole, who has been working on similar programs with Windward Community College; Joe Pöuha, who is helping to develop a mentoring/tutoring program to take into homes; and Kawika Parker of Käne'ohe, who has been delivering educational programs into institutions.

"One of the first programs we want to create under our college is a carving school," Hanohano said, noting that Tonu Eagleton, who was running a carving program at Windward Community College, wants to relocate his program in Ko'olauloa.

"He's met and partnered with Tuione Pulotu, so they will be one of the first programs established as soon as I can get funding to pay them."

"Our intent is to deliver programs that don't currently exist. We know that not all of our children are either prepared to or desire to go to BYU-Hawai'i or other nearby colleges.

"The carving school, for example, will be part of a program that will include a modern application and a culturally traditional aspect," Hanohano continued.

"For instance, if we have people who want to be carpenters, they will learn to build a modern structure as well as a traditional hale, so they learn both cultural traditions as well as modern techniques.

"It would be the same for nursing. Before students go into nursing, we're going to first teach them cultural healing arts, and then modern healing arts.

"We're not saying that everybody needs to go off to college, but they need to be able to provide for themselves. We want them to learn modern skills, as well as the traditional methods."

Hanohano said Ke Ala Pono will "serve the people in our community. By definition, that includes native Hawaiians and other Polynesians, Micronesians and Melanesians — people who might otherwise be left out. Also, as much as possible, we want to minimize the costs to the students."

He added that eventually an international organization of similar indigenous colleges "could make it possible for students to study across countries. Distance learning will be an important part, and Ke Ala Pono could become an important part of that.

"I don't want to be an administrator, I'd rather be a teacher; but until we give birth to this, we have to breathe life into it. A friend of mine said, it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of mana or spiritual power," Hanohano said.

"Because this involves other people's lives, I feel this needs to be a livelihood for them so they can provide for their families. We could be teaching classes today, but because of the level of expertise of these people, I feel they should be compensated. They're all willing to do it, and it will happen because so many people are willing to help.

"I think our community is blessed with tremendous human resources — people with tremendous knowledge and incredible skills," Hanohano said. "The intent is to ensure that knowledge and wisdom is passed on to the next generations."

Steve Keali'iwahamana Hoag, Esq., Director of Human Resources and Government Relations & Assistant to the President of HRI, noted the Lä'ie-based company initially plans to publish the newsletter "two-or-three times a year to update stakeholders and residents about our projects, such as workforce housing."

Hoag added those interested in getting on an e-mail subscription list are encouraged to register at contact_us@hawaiireserves.com, or visit the HRI website at www.hawaiireserves.com.

 

Looking at 10 years of Kaleo

By Steve Keali'iwahamana Hoag, Contributing Writer

The first issue of Kaleo o Ko'olauloa — which ceases regular publication with this issue — was published in June 1996 by Hawai'i Reserves, Inc. Involved in a number of community-based projects, HRI was seeking a medium to facilitate greater communication between Lä'ie and the surrounding communities.

For 10 years this free monthly publication has been hand-distributed to households and key locations in Lä'ie, Kahuku, and Hau'ula, with an average distribution of about 3,800 copies per issue.

Kaleo editor Mike Foley, who has worked on every single one of the issues, remarked, "I'm amazed that HRI has sponsored this project all of these years, at no financial gain to itself. While we've been able to offset some costs through advertising —and we're certainly grateful for our advertisers — the paper itself has never made any money. HRI's main focus through Kaleo has always been to build up and unite the communities in central Ko'olauloa."

R. Eric Beaver, HRI President and CEO, paid special tribute to Foley: "To say that Mike has been instrumental in the success of the newspaper would be an understatement. While he's had some help throughout the years, Mike has done most or all of the work on nearly every issue from editing to writing, photography, layout and distribution — you name it. More than his great professionalism and competency, we've been impressed with his character and love for Ko'olauloa and its people that shines through in each issue. All of us at HRI truly appreciate the significant, lasting contribution that Mike has made to the paper and our communities."

Asked about his thoughts on Kaleo as he wrapped up the final issue, Foley commented, "The focus of the paper has always been on drawing people in our moku together and featuring topics that unite us, such as Kahuku High & Intermediate happenings, local community events, emergency preparedness, and our 'talk story' series with local küpuna and community residents. Interviewing and talking with our people has been one of the highlights of my work on the paper.

"We've stayed positive throughout those years. We purposefully refrained from stories that would marginalize or cast a negative light on any person or group. Although published for an affiliate of the LDS Church, we also tried to cover other faiths and emphasize commonalities rather than differences," Foley continued. "Our district today has a much stronger sense of community on a moku-wide basis than 10 years ago when we started this project. I'd like to think Kaleo played a part in that.

"Several people have said to me, 'I read every word of Kaleo.' That people enjoyed a story or found it useful, to me is more important than whether they liked the way I write. I've tried to let the people tell their own stories, and rather than seeing my byline in the paper, I always prefer people simply enjoy reading the stories."

We have.

[Note: Digital archival copies of back issues of Kaleo will be available through this website. Hard copies of all available back issues are kept at the BYU-Hawai'i Archives, the serials collection of the Hamilton Library at the University of Hawai'i, and the Kahuku School & Public Library. In addition, new stories will occasionally be posted to the Kaleo website in a blog format.]

 

Kaleo editor responds

By Mike Foley

It has been a great privilege for me to serve over the past 10 years as editor of Kaleo o Ko'olauloa. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with a vast number of you over those years, and want to thank all of you for your support, encouragement and hospitality in inviting me to meetings and into your homes to conduct interviews, gather information and take pictures.

I have loved living in Lä'ie, but my experiences working on Kaleo have drawn me even closer to the Ko'olauloa moku. I have met so many of you and learned so much about our home.

As I look back at the volume of work we've accomplished — as previously mentioned, that includes over 170 issues and almost two million words — some of the highlights that come to mind include:

The list goes on and on. You can still read some of the stories on the website, which I'll keep up at www.kaleo.info. Aloha, friends and neighbors.

Kahuku High Haps: Looking toward 2006

By Morgan Wright ~ Kahuku High Correspondent

Kahuku High has always been a symbol of school spirit and personal pride; a school that has, in so many instances, gone from being on the bottom to pushing our way to the top, a school that compensates for its lack of resources with an attitude that we can accomplish anything we set our minds to. As the year 2005 comes to an end we remember the past and look to the future year with hope, optimism and the assurance that the next year will be better than the last.

Spring 2006 will be a special year for so many groups, teams, and clubs:

The Kahuku Women's varsity water polo team has always been on the top: They have won every OIA title since the sport officially started, competed in the state tournament against ILH schools and at the present time is ranked #2 in the state. This spring they will again put their skills to the test as they depart to Auckland, New Zealand to compete against teams from all over the South Pacific.

Senior player Sarah Bunmee said she is "very excited to be gaining experience and playing international teams. Kahuku High will be well represented. Whether we play the best team or the worst, we will play our hardest no matter what…we have great attitudes, we are positive, excited, and determined."

Like the water polo team, the Red Raider band has been recognized with numerous awards over the years. During spring break next year they will take their well-known name with them to Disneyland to perform in the Disney Magic Music Day. According to drum major ValaRee Gale, "the band will continue to live up to our name as the Pride of the North Shore. We expect to perform our best. Although we are a small school from a small state, we can do just as well or better than the mainland schools."

The band has also been invited into a Disney studio to record a few numbers, possibly for a Disney movie. "This is a rare experience, a chance to show others what we can do," she added.

Every year Kahuku scholars participate in the National History Day competition in which they research a historical topic and present it in an original, yet informational form. The research starts early in the school year and continues through the springtime. Students are required to put in hours of study and hard work to vie for the chance to go to Washington, D.C., where they go head-to-head with other intellectuals from all over the nation.

Likewise, the KHS We the People team — who has gone to Washington, D.C., every year since they have entered the tournament — will again fight to represent Hawai'i among the other 49 states. Carol Kimack, a senior member, says, "If we go to D.C., I expect that we will rise to the challenge and uphold Kahuku's integrity we have always had. We will again be known as a school with good academics, not sports alone."

The performing choir Vocal Motion will travel to New York this spring break to participate in a national singing competition. The group will spend a week sightseeing, going to Broadway shows and, of course, singing. Vocal Motion president Hökü Ching commented on the trip, saying, "Our group works well together. We are hardworking — a dedicated team that takes pride in what we do. We expect to show the people in New York what it means to be from Hawai'i, and most importantly, what it means to be from Kahuku. It will be a new experience in which we will represent Kahuku well."

Members of the French club will also take the opportunity to use their knowledge of French language and culture to better their overall point of view of the world outside of Hawaii, but will also take the name of Kahuku and the aloha spirit with them.

As these groups and others leave on their individual journeys, and as the current seniors graduate and start lives far from here, they too will take with them their alma mater and the pride and integrity that Kahuku stands for.

 

Kahuku High Sports Reports: More on the championship win

Everybody in Ko'olauloa — indeed, all Red Raiders for life — knows Kahuku came from behind on Dec. 2nd to beat Punahou, 28-21, and win the 2005 Hawai'i state Division I football championship title; but Kahuku High Athletic Director Joe Whitford shared a few additional insights on the victory with Kaleo that you might not be aware of. For example:

"When you consider the limited population and the size of our school, against the quality of the athletes," Whitford continued, "it makes for a good story."

"We've already had visits from Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon and Oregon State, Boise State, BYU, Utah and UNLV. That was only in the first week since the game, and there will be more."

He added he was hesitant to make predictions, but Whitford carefully suggested "we might have between six-and-10 players sign Division I scholarships in February. Last year we were able to sign eight, which led the nation."

"Of course, we have some holes to fill, with about 50 seniors graduating this year, but we're still loaded, and we've got some powerful JV kids coming up — it's just that they don't have the experience yet. So, we're looking for a new quarterback — that's a critical area, and almost the entire defense."

"For example, we were up 26-0 in the OIA championship game against 'Aiea, in the middle of the fourth quarter, when Nä Ali'i scored twice. Half of the fans were excited because the second string could go in and play, while the other half of the fans were upset that the second string was playing. Sometimes it's hard to win for winning."

"He's also happy to be able to help Kahuku football. His record is at 102-20 in 10 years as a head coach. You have to be in the playoffs every year to amass at least 10 games a year, because the regular season only has six games," Whitford said.

"You can have all the talent in the world, but if they can't get along or can't remain focused, the coaches can only say and do so much."

And speaking of football... Eight Kahuku High players were selected to play for the East Team in the HUB Senior Goodwill Game at Aloha Stadium on December 9th: B.J. Beatty, Kamuela Alisa, Kevin Unga, Joe Faifili, Justin Abregano, Lätü Tupou, Ken Wilcox and Devin Unga.

In reference to all other Kahuku High sports, Whitford noted that "everything's done for fall. In a couple of weeks we start soccer and softball. Wrestling, swimming and boys basketball starts the beginning of next month."

Late-breaking sports news:

The following news came in after Kaleo published its December 8th issue:

On Dec. 26th Honolulu Advertiser named seven Kahuku High Red Raiders to the 2005 Hawai'i All-State First Team, including B.J. Beatty (DE), who was named Defensive Player of the Year. The other defensive players include Kaniela Tuipulotu (DL) and Kevin Unga (LB). Lätü Tupou (OL), Ken Livai (OL), Devin Unga (TE), and Mälosi Te'o (RB) were named Offensive First Team players.

Honorable Mention went to Ross Salanoa (OL), Joe Faifili (DL), Kaeo Ä (LB) and Afa Bridenstine (DB).

In other Kahuku High sports news, the O'ahu Interscholastic Association's Eastern Division recently named senior 5'9" outside hitter Camilla Ah-Hoy as its Player of the Year — an honor her mother, Mona Afalava Ah-Hoy, previously held. The OIA East also named Lily Lätü and Ane Vea to the Second Team, and gave Honorable mention to Lauren Correa, Lenore Nauahi and Leilani Tafuna.

For boys volleyball, the OIA East First Team tapped 6'2" senior Charles Bell and gave Honorable Mention to Michael Tanuvasa and B.J. Yeager.

The Advertiser named the following Kahuku football players to the OIA East All-Star Team: B.J. Beatty as Defensive Player of the Year, with Micah Wily, Kevin Unga and George Tafuna also on Defense; and Kamuela Alisa, Lätü Tupou and Ken Livai, Offense.

Second Team: Kaulin Krebs (QB), Redmond Tutor (WR), Justin Abregano (OL), Joe Faifili (DL), Kaeo Ä (LB), Chico Ramirez (DB), Kaleo Spallone (DB) and Suaesi Tuimaunei (DB).
