HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Sterling Carvalho has been named the next head football coach of the Saint Louis Crusaders. He won three state championships as head coach at Kahuku.
Carvalho takes over after Tupu Alualu was fired as head coach in mid-September.
Carvalho guided the Red Raiders to multiple state and OIA titles. His tenure ended in April after a former player filed a grievance over playing time.
Following his dismissal, Carvalho filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the state Department of Education.
