    Beautiful million dollar view, friendly people and the most hilarious stadium announcers ever!!!

    yes sir, if it wasn’t his birthday, he certainly fooled me. The PA guy was too funny and it drowned out the clown show YouTube broadcast that features two delusional Iolani Dads. Nanas you guys gotta go support the kids, had more Nanakuli fans partying in their garages during the game than in the Nanakuli stadium. Hawks played tough and the band rocks too.

    Iolani football might have smart kids but their coaches and AD gotta work on their social skills. Neva come on the field for the National Anthem, Hawaii Pono i, or alma matters, throwing deep passes late in the game with 39-0 lead and keeping their defensive starters in to preserve a shut out. Small kine no class.

    Eventhough Nanakuli when finish with one “Puka” they fought hard and earned a lot of respect from the lucky few who attended. I never saw so many people celebrate their birthdays in one place like last Saturday night in Nanakuli. Mahalo to the Great PA guy who made everyone feel welcome.

    Iolani always avoids the Natl. Anthem, Hawaii Pono i and both schools alma maters not sure why but they be doin it for years. Its disrespectful when it happens on the home field of another team though. Too bad Nanakuli didn’t kick Iolani’s snobby okoles.
