Now that the New Year’s festivities are done, sports returns full blast with a week full of activities, including the opening of the Kaua‘i Senior Softball league on Saturday with the opening ceremonies starting at 8:30 a.m. at the Pat Baniaga Field in Hanapepe, said league President Eric Sakazaki (who does he play for?).

Kaua‘i Interscholastic Federation swimming starts an entire hour earlier Saturday (what time do the swimmers need to be at the YMCA pool?), and what time is the Pu‘uwai Canoe Club 5K Resolution Run that will be held at Lydgate Park this year (using Ke Ala Hele Makala‘e multi-use path)?
With 1.1 seconds showing on the game clock, a Kaua‘i High School junior varsity girls basketball team player launched a desperation bomb in attempt at forcing overtime on Monday night at Bernice Hundley Gym on the Kapa‘i High campus. Or, was the distance ball launched from outside the three-point mark for the win with the JV Red Raiders chasing two points? Regardless, the effort fell short.
Sha Ali Ahmad is waiting for the Kaua‘i Fashion Week team to come home from holiday travels so he can finalize the 2023 Kaua‘i Fashion Week that has photographers, models and other designers waiting to descend on Kaua‘i following the absence of the event because of COVID.
And, yes, Kaua‘i County Farm Bureau, Kukui Grove Center and other organizers, there will be a Kamehameha Day Parade (the Kamehameha Day Committee has been busy fundraising for this year’s event!).
