Vote for Davone Bess as the 2009 Miami Dolphins Offensive MVP.

He finished the season as Miami’s leading reciever with 76 receptions, 758 yards and two touchdowns. Miami fell just short of the playoffs this year and hopefully will continue to improve next season.  Also according to a Honolulu Advertiser article, former Hawaii teammate and friend Ryan Grice-Mullins will be joining him next season.  The Dynamic Duo is back and awesome job representing Davone!!!  Miami will be 2010-2011 Super Bowl Champs!!!

Sports Hawaii is a proud supporter of this camp and will cover this event for everyone to see!

watch?v=MRpb-3q5pzM

Football University (FBU), the nation’s foremost football training experience, will be coming to Hawaii January 22-24! Based on a NFL mini-camp, Football University is an elite, invite only football camp. Football University brings in top NFL stars and elite NFL coaches who have trained the likes of Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Matt Ryan. Football University utilizes a national network of scouts and regional directors to identify top talent for this invitation-only camp. In addition, talent can also nominate itself for this once-in-a-lifetime experience at http://www.FootballUniversity.org.

“Hawaii has one of the best football cultures in the world, a true warrior mentality, and continually produces top football talent. The state isn’t recognized like Texas, California or Georgia, but deserves more of the spotlight,” said Rich McGuinness, president of Football University. “Hawaii is a hotbed for gridiron talent and we are pleased to be involved with an event that can create an opportunity for more Hawaii high school senior players to showcase their skills.”

Football University recently produced, along with HUB, the Hawaii/Polynesia- Mainland Bowl, part of the 2009 Aloha Prep Bowl. During that bowl week, they also hosted a free combine to athletes in grades 6-12. FBU is also a proud sponsor of the Island Sports Media Player of the Year 2009.

If an athlete wants to get a behind the scene glimpse of the elite training at Football University, Fox Sports Net has been airing a reality show called “The Ride.” The 10 week show, aired to 70 million homes nationally, features 8 Quarterbacks who are competing for one (1) spot in the US Army All-American Bowl on NBC. They attend Football University and are trained by eight of the nation’s top quarterbacks who trained Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Drew Brees and Matt Ryan. The show airs in Hawaii weekly on Fox Prime Ticket (check local listings). You can see the trailer at http://www.taketheride.tv and all past episodes at http://www.highschoolsports.net. In Hawaii, it is Sunday Nights, 7p on Channel 31. Two of “The Ride” finalists played in the Mainland/Polynesian Bowl. They were joined by Hawaii’s own VJ Fehoko, who will be featured in episode 8. Casting call for The Ride – 2010 begins this January at FBU’s Hawaii Camp as the search for a top player from Hawaii with a story to tell – begins. For interviews or questions, please email admin@vilithewarriior.org or call (808)342-0143.

To register, go to: registration@footballuniversity.org, or call 877-247-7728.

Awesome Practice Report by Kazz that I just had to share with everyone.

Rainbow Warrior Basketball Practice (10/16/2009)

By:  Kazz

Practice started at 5pm, got off work at 6 and got to UH at 6:20-ish, about 25 other fans attended the 1st practice of the 09-10 basketball season at Gym II, which provides quite a “cozy” atmosphere as you are pretty close to the players.

-No doubt the word stood true as there was an obvious difference in the 3 point attempts between our returners and Dwain Williams and Jeremy Lay. Also, Lay proved to be a very feisty defender on the perimeter which is good news since the departure of our best 1 on 1 defender last season in Kareem Nitoto…(more)

By Coach Ken
The Idaho loss is one of those games where it is easy to give up as fans. I know the players hurt badly as well as the coaches. This is one of the better Idaho teams and we are going through a year of unfortunately too many mistakes on the field. I do not believe it is a lack of effort by these guys, they have heart. The problem is fairly typical of teams that have gaps to fill, you are going to have more mistakes and unfortunately your better players will make them trying to cover up for the shortcomings of others. How do you salvage this type of season?

1. Above all else, never give up on these guys. I am looking forward to getting out there and seeing some of the late season games, I will always be a Warrior fan. Never stop believing in this team…(more)
