A third Kahuku football player has been invited to the 2018 Polynesian Bowl with the selection of linebacker Fatu Atuaia.

Atuaia, who is 6 feet and 225 pounds, has been a force in the middle of the Kahuku defense. In a 42-7 win over Campbell in the OIA semifinals, Atuaia had four tackles for loss, three sacks and an interception — all in the first half.

Atuaia joins running back Enoch Nawahine and defensive end Samson Reed as Red Raiders who have been selected to the high school football all-star game scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018 at Aloha Stadium.


Kahuku will play Saint Louis for the Open Division state championship on Saturday night.

    What about the guy from farrington the middle linebacker! I think his name is blessed I don’t know his last name but this guy can hit … I think this guy should have been the defense player of the year ….invited to the Polynesian Bowl!!!!

    Isaac Sevao was unblockable n was one of top d tackles in the state. Led or in top 3 in tfl’s n sacks despite missing 3 games ( Kaiser, Moanalua, Radford ) n that’s as an interior lineman. Give this kid his props, I’d put this kid up against any lineman in the state. Congrats 2 all the kids that have been selected 2 these games.

    Second year in a row Kamehameha has no offensive player invited. How funny cause they were the only team that came the closest to beating st. louis. How can you leave the Apo kid from Kamehameha out? That kid is a smart football player! If I was coach Abu, I woild be a little irritated. Just my Opinion!

    This kid is alright. He wasn’t half the man I was though. If had internet during my time, I guaranz would have been playing on Sundays. Yeah, I was that good. I made Itula Mili look ordinary when I locked him up.

    What about #37 from farrrington? He deserves to be in it.
