Vern Ramie, Kamehameha Schools’ head baseball coach for the past 23 years, has resigned, the school announced on Friday.

Kamehameha’s coach since 1991, Ramie guided the Warriors to a state championship in 2003 and five Interscholastic League of Honolulu titles. He also led the Warriors to five state title games.

Ramie graduated from Kamehameha in 1976 and had a standout baseball career with the University of Hawaii. He was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 12th round of the 1979 Major League Baseball draft and played four years of pro ball, reaching as high as the AAA level.

Ramie coached numerous players who went on to pro ball, including major leaguers Dane Sardinha, Bronson Sardinha and Kanekoa Texeira. He was recently named recipient of the 2013 Chuck Leahey Award, which is given to a person who has made major lifetime contributions to baseball in Hawaii.

Chaminade adds ex-CSUN shot-blocker

A shot-blocking post player from Cal State Northridge and a high-scoring player from Guam have been added to the Chaminade men’s basketball team.

Six-foot-10 Frankie Eteuati, who played two seasons at CSUN, recorded 49 career blocked shots, which ranks seventh in Matadors history. Prior to redshirting the 2012-13 season, Eteuati was fifth in the Big West Conference in blocks, averaging 1.04 per game in 2011-12.

Eteuati, who will have two years of eligibility remaining, is Chaminade’s third Division I transfer, along with Christophe Varidel (Florida Gulf Coast) and AJ Mathew (Toledo).

Also joining the Silverswords will be 6-4 Michael Sakazaki of Asan, Guam, who averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds per game during his senior year to help Father Duenas High School to a 13-1 record and a third-place league finish.

Sakazaki finished as one of the top 10 male basketball players in Oceania and was selected to the International Basketball Federation Oceania’s 2013 All-Star Team.
