Pearl City almost pulled it off

By Nick Abramo on November 15, 2013

Pearl City football players might want this photo as a keepsake. It shows Timothy Rivera lateraling the ball to Blake Cooper near the sideline with open field and the end zone ahead. A Kauai defender, Shaedon Tallano, is in pursuit, but way off toward the middle of the field. Earlier on the very same double-trick play, Rivera himself was a lateral recipient after a Chargers pass completion. The in-focus clock on the scoreboard in the background shows 54 seconds are […]

By Nick Abramo on November 13, 2013

Kauai High won’t be able to play in the comfort of Vidinha Stadium this week in the Division II semifinals of the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships.

By Dave Reardon on November 1, 2013
