Football Tour: Kailua, Nanakuli, Aiea, Roosevelt

By Paul Honda on August 3, 2013

Tour stop: Saturday, Aug. 3, 2013 It’s that time of year again. Or as Nanakuli football coach Keala Watson dubs it, “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Prep football media/fiends/fanatics relish this early season stretch.
