By Brian McInnis on November 11, 2018

There was a connection to be drawn between the moth that flitted freely about the Stan Sheriff Court, with public address man Billy V in hot pursuit, and Hawaii attempting to chase down the dynamic North Texas team that darted off to a big lead on Sunday. Billy V eventually caught the moth, but Hawaii never came close to running down North Texas. The Rainbow Warriors absorbed a 68-51 beatdown in the de facto championship game of the Outrigger Resorts […]

Another winnable game, another early-season loss for the Hawaii women’s basketball team.

By Brian McInnis on November 10, 2018

Two of them — Mate Colina and Dawson Carper — appeared before the game was decided, while the third, Owen Hulland, got his first action of the 2018-19 season in the final few minutes of UH’s 90-54 blowout of Division II Humboldt State to improve to 2-0. “They played tremendously,” guard […]

By Stephen Tsai on November 10, 2018

The Warriors saved the Scout Bowl for a rainy day. In a 24-play, (mostly) full-contact scrimmage, quarterback Justin Uahinui had a breakout day. Uahinui completed 12 of 17 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns. Three freshmen — Adam Netane, Keliam Brunn and James Green — each caught a scoring pass. One of the surprises was KK Padello, who was aligned as a running back. Wearing Fred Holly’s No. 21 jersey, Padello caught a shovel pass on the first play and […]
