GO! FIGHT! WIN!
When I saw go you say fight… GO! FIGHT! GO! FIGHT! GO GO! FIGHT FIGHT! GO FIGHt!!!! And that’s exactly what the SJS cardinals boys basketball team did while taking on Saint Francis of Oahu. Cardinal Jo made her grand entrance having the cardinal nation up off their feet cheering, waving pom-poms and posters. Saint Francis with players ranging from 6ft and higher in height brought their skills, pushed, punched, elbowed to fight for the win. The Cardinals stood their grounds and didn’t let anyone push them around. Thomas Fairman standing at 6ft 5in and Aldyn Dalere standing at 5ft 6in both scored 10 points each leading the Cardinals to a victory of 43-40.

2010 Cardinal-Warrior Basketball Classic
Every year the St. Joseph basketball boys join up with the Waiakea basketball boys and have an annual basketball tournament called the Cardinal Warrior Classic. It usually happens during the first weekend in December. It's a 4 day long tournament. It takes place at the Afook Chinen Civic Auditorium and at the Waiakea High School gymnasium. This year it's going to be held on December 1-4.
There are many teams that compete in this tournament. However, you need to be invited you can't just register. Schools are invited from the Big Island, Oahu, and Maui. The teams who are competing at Waiakea Gym in the blue bracket are Kaiser, Honoka'a, Waiakea, Kohala, Pahoa, Kalani, Hilo, and Lahainaluna. Teams who are competing at the Civic in the red bracket are Kea'au, Kealakehe, Kamehameha, Hawaii Preparatory Academy, St. Joseph, St. Francis, Kalaheo, and Konawaena.
This is one of the biggest events of the school year not only for St. Joseph and Waiakea but all schools who participate in it. Every team gets balled up and conditioned for this tournament because they know it's a big deal. Last year we had around 3,000 people in the Civic for the entire 4 day tournament. We know for Hilo that's a huge gathering. So get geared up, bring a sign, and we'll see you down the Civic aka CARDINAL NATION on Wednesday night at 6:00 when St. Joseph will take on St. Francis!!!

Junior libero Shae Mattos had 35 digs, and sophomore Georgia Pirie had assists in the mid 30s.

In the 5th set, the Cardinals slammed Pahoa 15-SCORE giving St. Joseph their first season victory. The Cardinals play again Saturday Sep. 9 at Wainaku Gym against Christian Liberty Academy.
Soccer Conditioning
by Tinoue
Any boy or girl in the 9th-12th grade interested in playing soccer? Now's a great time to come out every Tuesday and Thursday from 4-6 for conditioning. Conditioning instruction will be given by the girls soccer coaches, Jason Nakayama and Linus Tavares. It is highly recommended to those who are not playing a fall sport.
Tuesdays we focus on cardio. We do sprinting drills, back peddles, jump rope, ball handling, and agility. Thursdays we focus on strength training. We work on building muscle and becoming strong in the core, legs, and arms. We do push-ups, sit-ups, 6 inches, squats, different jumping drills, balance and coordination drills, weight lifting, and a lot of stretching.
During September, there's practice twice a week. In October, we will start practicing 3 times a week. The conditioning practices are optional, but I strongly advise you to attend them. Once we hit November 7th... IT'S ON!!! Season begins and practice will be held 5 times a week after school. Conditioning is co-ed. Once the regular season starts, the boys will have to find their own coach. But come out and join anyway. It's fun and a great way to help get in shape!!!
