Voters peg Kamehameha No. 3

There will be plenty of air time for the Kamehameha Warriors this season under new coach David Stant.

Star-Bulletin: Kamehameha off and running under new coach Stant

David Stant arrived at Kapalama Heights with some very clear ideas about what Kamehameha football will look like this fall.

One idea is in full motion: the Warriors will throw the ball. Then they'll throw it again. And again. Though Stant was a defensive lineman during his career at the University of Hawaii, he is truly a student of the game. His commitment to an airborne attack will be a change in philosophy on the hill, where Kanani Souza relied on a power ground game to keep the Warriors among the ILH's elite.

Souza brought in new formations after returning from a brief sabbatical to Oregon State, but the run-first approach didn't change. Stant is committed to balance, and that could translate to more pass attempts than rushes for the Warriors.

Time will tell if returning starter Michael Hoke is able to execute as well as Stant hopes.
