Pregame notes
4:08: ‘Iolani will be receiving the kick. Hilo is defending the North end zone.
3:45: There are 22 minutes left on the pregame clock, so it will start a little bit past the 4 p.m. start time.
3:44: Lahainaluna won its fourth straight D-II state championship in the early game of the tripleheader, 21-10. Joshua Tihada rushed for an all-division state-record 310 yards in that one.

Refs aren’t biased, maybe biased against both teams if anything, but are doing a horrible job this game.

Somebody offer that kicker! 2mean!!!!!!
Instant Classic
Hassenritter kicked it? Check your names SA.
Once again, Hernandez called a horrible game! Sooooo biased and wrong about what Hilo was doing. In the first half, he all but written off the Vikings and practically gave iolani the victory. So irritating to hear him describe Hilo’s playing as inferior to that of iolani. He never thought that Hilo’s coach could inspire the kids to play better. If only Hernandez could do just that, Kapolei would be a monster program. Please find another color commentator already! Rubbah!
