After Taimane Mata’afa Grove, a freshman at Maui High School, made quick work of Kalea Markulis of Lahainaluna with a pin in 93 seconds in the 125 girls championship match, Te’ata Mata’afa Grove was able to shift her focus to her title match at 135 that would take place minutes later. 

Kamehameha Maui had 11 senior starters play their final high school game on Friday, including the school’s all-time leading rusher Zedekaiah Campbell, college-football-bound offensive lineman Pa’u Spencer, and defensive leader Kolt Kaho’ohanohano.

Together, one of the most prolific running back tandems in the state led the Warriors to a 37-18 win over sister school Kamehameha Hawai’i in a semifinal of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Division II tournament on Saturday night.

The Lahaina Restoration Foundation announced the November edition of the Hawaiian Music Series, featuring a special performance by the talented Kamehameha Schools Maui Hawaiian Ensemble.

In the first overtime game in King Kekaulike High School football history which dates to 1995, Kanoa Kuailani scored on a 5-yard touchdown run to end a 34-28 win over Baldwin at King Kekaulike Stadium.

Lahainaluna kicks off Maui Interscholastic League play with a victory behind 480 rushing yards, while Kamehameha Maui trounces Maui High that was without its starting quarterback, starting running back and standout wide receiver due to injuries.

Zedekaiah Campbell became the Warriors’ all-time leading rusher with a three-touchdown, 159-yard performance.

“The rivalry is definitely real,” King Kekaulike head coach Tyson Valle said about fellow Upcountry Division II team Kamehameha Schools Maui. “We got our eyes on them and they got their eyes on us.”

The league will use the eight-game, two-round system to determine Division I and Division II state tournament berths after two seasons of unbalanced schedules were needed due to the Aug. 8, 2023, fires and the expansion to a six-team league that included Moloka’i in 2024. 

Kamehameha Maui, Maui High and King Kekaulike all have more than 50 athletes out for spring football practice, numbers rarely seen in the Maui Interscholastic League for the voluntary workouts.

Imagine an outdoor classroom on the green grassy slope of a volcano, where the teacher is on horseback, and the students are learning about the soil, water and plants around them. This imaginary classroom is real—it comes to life once a year during the “Agriculture in the Classroom” Field Trip, an annual educational event put on by Maui County Farm Bureau.
