A local sports era ends as Kailua High School's longtime baseball coach steps down after three decades, a bittersweet moment for the school and its community.

• Corey Ishigo, known for his signature white glasses, is retiring after 30 years coaching baseball at his old high school, Kailua.
• He built one of Hawaii's most consistent programs, winning two state titles, nine league championships, and reaching the state tournament 25 of his 26 years.
• A former standout infielder for both Kailua and the University of Hawaii, he said his real goal was helping players grow into good men, not just win games.
• Ishigo will keep teaching at Kailua and stay involved in the sport through his Hawaii Baseball Academy.

Outlook: Former assistant coach Shane will take over the Surf Riders program next season.
