Chang up for Unitas award
The Garden Island
UH’s Timmy Chang is one of the nine outstanding senior quarterbacks selected as finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, presented to the nation’s top senior collegiate quarterback by the Frank Camp Chapter of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation.
The 2004 recipient will be announced Dec. 1, with the award presentation to be made in Louisville on Dec. 10 at the Clarion Conference Center.
Kaua‘i boys finish season undefeated
Finishing 8-0 in the KIF for any sport is tough and that’s what the Kaua‘i High School boys varsity volleyball squad accomplished on Wednesday night in Waimea. The Red Raiders took it the Menehune in straight sets, 25-13, 25-19.
Kaua‘i ran away with the first set, after taking an 11-1 advantage. The second set was a bit closer, but the Red Raiders ran away in the end.
Garrett Sakimae, Futi Tavana, Kevin Downing, and Kaleo Baxter led the Red Raider charge. Waimea’s Josh Cabral, Bryan Hayashi, and Timmy Mattos paced Menehune parade.
Kaua‘i JV volleyball player Jordan Cox saw his first action in a varsity uniform and even put down his first varsity kill.
The Red Raider girls have to wait for the match between Waimea and Kapa‘a on Saturday before they can claim the KIF crown. However, if Kapa‘a wins, they force a second round playoff. If Kapa‘a wins the playoff, then it will force a winner-take-all championship game.

Koa Smith wins again
Kaua‘i’s Koa Smith got his 2nd consecutive win in the boys 9-10 year old shortboard division, scoring a 8.5 on one of his waves in the final at The 28th annual North Shore Menehune Surfing Competition, held
October 16-17 at Haleiwa Beach on O‘ahu. Age divisions ranged from 6 and under to 11- 12 year olds.There were long boarding and short boarding for both boys and girls. Competitors rode waves 2- 4 ft (3-8 foot fronts).
Skil Johnson, the contest organizer for 28 years, had incredible support from the entire North Shore community and the surf industry.
The children who finished in the finals were given large bags full of product including, clothing, fins, watches, gift certificates, wax, stickers and hats. Bicycles were raffled off and custom boards were given to the winners, although if the winner had a board sponsor they passed it down the line.
College student dies after Red Sox win
BOSTON — A college student died Thursday after suffering a head injury in a clash between police officers and a crowd of Red Sox fans who poured into the streets outside Fenway Park to celebrate their team’s victory over the New York Yankees.
Victoria Snelgrove, a 21-year-old journalism major at Emerson College, was among 16 people hurt in the revelry.
The injured also included a police officer.
Most of the injuries were minor, but Snelgrove suffered a severe head wound as police tried to subdue the crowd, authorities said.
Mayor Tom Menino told WBZ-AM that Snelgrove, of East Bridgewater, was struck by a “non-lethal weapon,” but he did not elaborate.
The Boston Globe reported that Snelgrove was hit by a “bean-bag” bullet.
