HERE AND THERE

Pearl City, Mililani
win bowling titles

Aiea's Ivan Miyasato rolled a season-high 835 series highlighted by a 289 game yesterday, but it wasn't enough to propel Na Alii past Pearl City as the Charger boys won the OIA West bowling championship yesterday at Aiea Bowl. The Chargers finished league play at 23-4, while Aiea was 22-5. Mililani won the girls' championship. ... Star-Bulletin 2000 all-state shortstop Kelii Alcon of two-time state champion Molokai has verbally committed to Loyola Marymount. ...

St. Louis-De La Salle unlikely

Hawaii High School Athletic Association executive director Keith Amemiya said he was misquoted in a FoxSports Internet article which says the HHSAA has given consensus national top-10 St. Louis the "thumbs up" to pursue a football game against top-ranked De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) in November, thus foregoing the Hawaii state tournament.

"No one from St. Louis has indicated that it's close to happening, so we haven't addressed the (HHSAA) board yet," Amemiya told the Star-Bulletin yesterday.

Speculation over such a game surfaced last week, but athletic directors Cal Lee of St. Louis and Terry Eidson of De La Salle have not even spoken to each other.

Whether both teams can get out of other commitments at this late date is questionable, so the possibility appears to be a dead issue ... for now.

Seven years ago this week

St. Louis hung on to beat Punahou, 21-14, ending a two-game losing streak in the ILH -- the Crusaders longest slide since 1982. Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala rushed for 142 yards and George Ornellas scored three TDs to overcome a 319-yard passing game by Punahou's Makaena Puli. The game was in doubt until Kawika Ordenstein recovered Punahou's onside kick with less than two minutes left.
