GAME NIGHT 8/20: Kapolei/Leilehua

Six more games on Oahu scheduled for Saturday including a couple of afternoon tilts involving neighbor island teams. Let’s get to it.

The Hurricanes dropped from No. 5 to No. 9 in this week’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser Top 10 after losing 35-14 to Waianae. The Mules play their third ranked team in as many weeks to start the season, but hey, at least it isn’t No. 1 Kahuku and No. 3 Punahou?

History: Leilehua leads the all-time series 7-3 but the Hurricanes won the last meeting — a 48-27 victory in 2013.
