Press “play” on the tape from Saturday’s 45-21 win over Punahou, and it’s not a surprise teammates on the Saint Louis defense earned scholarship offers this week.
On Monday, Saint Louis defensive end Liloa Kapiko announced on Twitter that he had received a scholarship offer from the University of Hawaii.

8 players on the Crusaders defense with at least one D-I offer has got to be a Hawaii High School record. “Wow”

oh man. for a second there, I thought the article was about St Louis handing out offers to Kahuku kids to play for their school!
Kudos to all the kids who receive offers to colleges!! They sacrifice their bodies everyday putting in the long hours of training, practice and playing a game they love. Many local kids return home unable to handle the stresses of college level of studies, nor able to adjust to mainland lifestyle. Lets hope their hard work pays off by Graduating with a College degree so they may go on to live productive successful lives. God Bless our local boys!
