The Black and Gold 1976

Tiger Soccer Team Gains Fourth Consecutive OIA Title 

 The Varsity Soccer Team kicked their way through an undefeated nine game season. McKinley’s tough defense yielded goals to only three teams, Farrington, Roosevelt and Leilehua. Farrington scored a useless goal in the final minutes of the game on a fast break. Roosevelt fell to the Tigers, scoring their only goal on a penalty kick.

 McKinley met the Mules at Leilehua for the final game of the season. Both teams were undefeated and looking for the OIA Championship. For the first time this season, the Tigers were trailing when the Mules put in a penalty kick halfback Chang Hong bounced McKinley back at the end of the half with a goal to tie the score.

 Seung Teak and Chul Sun Park tallied one each for the Tigers in the second half while Leilehua took advantage of two fast breaks to score two goals and ended the game in a tie at three apiece.

 McKinley shot through the OIA round robin untouched beating Kailua, 4-0, Kalani, 2-0, and Leilehua, 2-0.

 The Tigers had a field day against Konawaena in the state play-offs, romping them, 6-0.

 For the state championship, McKinley faced Punahou at Kapiolani field. Punahou was the only team in the state to hold McKinley scoreless, taking the state title, 2-0.

 Punahou’s first goal came in the first half, when a Buffanblu player used his head to put it in. Their next goal game in the closing moments of the game on a penalty kick.

 The Tigers wound up the season with their fourth consecutive OIA title, and third consecutive state second place.

Swimming - Girls Basketball

The Black and Gold 1976

Lack of Experience Hinders Swimming Team for Year of Rebuilding

 The year 1976 was one of rebuilding for McKinley’s swimming team. Hurt by the loss of last year’s seniors with graduation, the team was supported by four returnees, of which only one was a senior.

 Joined by new assistant coach Larry Oshiro, from the Honolulu Police Department, the team had daily practices in McKinley’s aging pool after school from 2:15 to 3:45. Practices began in September and continued through March in hope of placing in the OIA swimming meets.

 Yet, hard practice and dedication of team members were not enough to give the Mick swimmers a high place in the rankings.

 Among the meets were the OIA Relays, the OIA West Championships, the OIA Championships, and the HHSAA State Championship.

Females Concentrate on Cage Skills

 Entering their third year of competition and still unsanctioned by the OIA, McKinleys’ Girls’ Basketball Team was comprised of most of the year’s returnees.

 New Head Coach Jake Hoopai and Assistant Coaches Joe Tom and Gladys Pakele drilled the girls in various defensive skills and offense techniques, in attempt to overcome a deficit of height.

 The season opened with a loss to Kalakaua by 10 points, but the girl cagers came back to take the rematch. From there the team faced tough competition, against defending ILH champion, Maryknoll, Kamehameha and 1975 UH Tournament winner Punahou.

 Competitions included the UH Tournament on March 19 t 20 and the Farrington Tournament on April 1 to 3.
