Coaches

At media day of the 2018 Hawai‘i High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) state football finals, Mililani Trojans Head Coach Rod York [left] and Saint Louis Crusaders Head Coach Cal Lee pose for a shot together as they wait their turns to be interviewed by the local sports reporters. The Trojans and the Crusaders faced off in the HHSAA's Open Division Championship during the Thanksgiving weekend, with the latter winning, 38-17.

Sadly, due to the China Corona Virus pandemic, the HHSAA is looking at moving this year's season over to next spring.

Mark Dunkerley

Mark Dunkerley served as the president and chief executive officer of Hawaiian Airlines for over 17 years. He oversaw the growth of the airline from an inter-island and west coast airline, into a major airline in the Asia Pacific Rim.
