EWA BEACH - Perpetual trophies come in all shapes and forms.One of the most unusual is the Cane Knife Trophy, which is up for grabs Friday when the Waipahu Marauders host the Campbell Sabers in a nonleague game.The stainless steel decorative blade - the edges are rounded - has scores engraved of all the meetings between the two schools, which were in strong sugar cane industry communities. The series started in 1963, Campbell's first varsity football season.Waipahu, the older of the two schools, once dominated the series, still holding a 30-10-1 lead. But the Sabers have won five of the last six meetings, including their last one in 2009 (21-0).A post-game ceremony is planned with the trophy hand-over. Campbell has it now. (See photo.)Meanwhile, the prep season kicks off Thursday when Service High of Anchorage, Alaska, takes on Leilehua, 6 p.m. at Hugh Yoshida Stadium.The Cougars play in Alaska's large-schools division. They have won five state titles, the last in 2008. It was state runner-up last year. One of the school's most notable alumni is former NFL lineman Mark Schlereth, who chose to attend Idaho over Hawaii, according to Wikipedia.Service last played here in 1999, beating Kahuku, 39-33. Kahuku was state runner-up that season. Service went on to win its state championship.Kapolei will host Pearl City on Friday, but the Hurricanes will be without projected starting quarterback Trey Kamachi, who is participating in the baseball Area Code Games in Long Beach, Calif., this week. The right-handed pitcher is considered a pro prospect in baseball.Juniors Kaeo Kanoa and Brandon Cambra will see duty behind center for Kapolei, coach Darren Hernandez said.Meanwhile, Hernandez said he will be serving as color commentator in the press box for University of Hawaii football games. Earlier, he was announced as a sideline reporter. He said as a high school coach, having contact with UH coaches and players was an issue that affected recruiting.
