Mililani steady at No. 7

New coach, graduated all-state players and high expectations. That's the norm at Mililani, even after longtime coach James Millwood retired.

Honolulu Star-Bulletin: Arceneaux works to continue winning tradition at Mililani

On the way back from Kahuku on Wednesday, I stopped by Mililani to take in a few minutes of the Trojans' practice. Never got to talk with Coach Darnell Arceneaux or his assistants, but it wasn't necessary.

In Trojan land, practice is fluid, efficient and demanding. That's the way Arceneaux treats it, and his players know it. There are a few wrinkles here and there that the Trojans are honing, but the basic essence is there. The same coach who led Saint Louis to the state final a few years back is still hungry, still demanding, still in tune.

I'm looking forward to seeing Mililani, whether it's a game or scrimmage. Some key transitions on the field with Jordan Torres and Josh Andrews gone.
