Kahuku High School Red Raiders football program

The Red Raiders have won or shared the Oahu Interscholastic Association (OIA) public school football championship title 29 times since the inception of the OIA in 1940. Kahuku High School's football team also has been nationally ranked multiple times in numerous high school football opinion polls and rankings even before winning their first Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) State Football Championship in 2000. Kahuku High School football program's highest ranking came at the end of the 2001 football season when they were ranked #8 in the Super 25 High School Football rankings and #13 in the StudentSports.com rankings. In the 21st century the Kahuku Red Raiders have won a Hawaii record eleven (11) State Football Championships - most recently in November 2023, beating fellow public school Mililani 21–19. In Kahuku High School football history, four (4) head football coaches have won state football championship titles: Siuaki Livai (2000, 2001, 2003, 2005), Reginald "Reggie" Torres (2006, 2011, 2012), Vavae Tata (2015), and most recently Sterling Carvahlo (2021, 2022, 2023). With the rare defensive shutout in the championship game, the 2022 Red Raiders earned back-to-back state football champions for the first time since 2011–2012.
