Saints make their case in hot ILH Division II race

By Nick Abramo on October 11, 2015

If you were looking for a nice, clean separation of teams in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu Division II football standings, you have been recently disappointed. St. Francis threw a wrench into things and did not finish its regular season like it started. After losing their first two league games, the Saints stopped playing like a newbie (they’re in their third season of varsity football) and developed into a solid contender. Contender? Yes, with two straight wins, St. Francis (4-4, […]

FIRST QUARTER Saints punt after picking up a first down. Wolfpack drive 55 yards in five plays. Kainoa Ferreira to Clayce Akeo on a nice back-shoulder throw for a 30-yard TD. Ferreira is doing something unique out of the shotgun, running as if it’s a QB draw, then stopping and hitting his wideouts with bullets. PAC 7, STF 0, 6:33. Procedure penalties hurting the Saints, who get another first down but stall. Passing game is out of sync, but they’re […]
