The only constant we ever get in this life is the continual loop of change, often around the time you get to assume a person, a thing, a beach, will always be there.

It’s been a little while, but Kallen Mizuguchi is primed to make his triumphant championship tennis return on the Kohala Coast.

Waiakea sophomore Lacey Uchida won’t mind if the wind whips up the next two days at Waikoloa Kings’ Course.

When they crank it up and you hear the roar of the engine, you sit up in your chair and crane your neck for a better view.

At this point, it’s fair to ask if there is anything Kamehameha’s Chenoa Frederick can’t accomplish in track and field.

Any pitcher who watched Waiakea’s mistake-prone defense falter in the BIIF Division I baseball championship series might have concluded that he needed to start striking out more batters.

Like only she can, Kamehameha’s Chenoa Frederick got a jump on the competition at the HHSAA track and field championships.

In some years when the calendar turns May, UH-Hilo athletics is already closed for business.

Not only did Hilo High junior hitter Kaala Deitch not want to finish the season with consecutive losses, but – and no offense to Leilehua – elimination also would have come against a school he had never heard of before.

KEAAU – At a BIIF track and field meet earlier this season, Waiakea coach Tim Carigon was adamant: Not only was Kealakehe the boys favorite, he said, but the Warriors were not even trying to chase a title.

KEAAU – Even taking into account all of her interactions in Kamehameha class rooms, it had to be the most unfair question Chenoa Frederick faced all week.

Kamehameha’s Tai Atkins found a silver lining Friday when the BIIF baseball championships were postponed by rain.
