Darnell Arceneaux has quite the brain for this game of football. The former Utah and Hawaiian Islanders quarterback is more than an offensive thinker, though. Balance has always been one of his priorities, and if that means meshing the X’s and O’s with renewed enthusiasm, so be it.

Pre-game: Konawaena-Lahainaluna, girls hoops

He doesn’t have to acknowledge anything or anyone, and neither does his team.
