By Paul Honda on October 12, 2019

The Waipahu Marauders weren’t about to get greedy, not after an up-and-down season one year removed from a state championship. In fact, with all the talent that graduated, particularly on defense, Waipahu was happy to be ahead of a dangerous Kailua squad 14-0 with six minutes left to play on Saturday night. The Surfriders, who had been hampered by a missed block here, a crooked pass route there, finally punched in with less than 6 minutes left, and then got […]
