Waianae, which has secured two preseason stadium dates, will take on Kamehameha that day on the artificial turf.
The Seariders, projected to be a major Red Conference contender in the Oahu Interscholastic Association this season, will meet 10-time defending Interscholastic League of Honolulu champion St. Louis in their other stadium date on Thursday, Aug. 29.
The Father Bray Classic will be played at the stadium on Aug. 30, with Kamehameha meeting Farrington and Waipahu taking on Pac-Five.
But a prime preseason stadium football date - Saturday, Aug. 24 - has not been claimed. Stadium spokesman Les Keiter said the day was being held for the Shawn Akina Classic.
The classic's founder and director, Skip Akina, said this month that the classic will not be held in 1996. But Keiter said he has not heard that officially from Akina, so he has kept the date open.
However, he said efforts are now being made to fill it, possibly with an OIA doubleheader.
One game being considered for the open stadium date is Farrington vs. Morse High School of San Diego. It is presently scheduled to be played at Castle High's field on Aug. 23.
Akina said a determining factor in the cancellation of the Shawn Akina Classic this year was the unavailability of the Aug. 29 date at the stadium.
"The second weekend of preseason would have been the big weekend for us," he said.
But Akina said this week that he is not upset with Waianae for taking the date. "The OIA has been very good to us over the years," he said, noting that he has had a number of the league's teams involved in key Classic matchups.
St. Louis, long a cornerstone of the Shawn Akina Classic's success, committed late last year to play Waianae. The Crusaders will play their other preseason game at Baldwin on Sept. 6.
Akina said he hopes to revive the classic in 1997.
Ramos said there were 11 foursomes on the course.
Approval of a salary ($65,000 plus fringe benefits) for Toyama, the Kaimuki athletic director, was the top item on the agenda of the meeting. Toyama will resign as AD and take office on Aug. 1.
Cryan, respected in the high school community for his basketball savvy, also had been an OIA varsity referee and had coached in the NCAA Summer League for Honolulu Ford. He was once a special education teacher at Kaimuki High School, but more recently had worked in car sales.
"If you wanted to ask anything about basketball, Kevin was the man to ask," said head Kaimuki basketball coach and assistant athletic director Raymond Fujino. "In the state championship tournament we won (1993), he gave me a lot of good advice. He was a good man with a good heart."
Both have graduated.
