Yet he stayed at Saint Louis backing up Tua Tagovailoa and patiently waited for his turn. It came in 2017, and the 6-foot-1, 175-pound University of Hawaii commit delivered a season every bit as good as that of his former teammate, who is now at Alabama. Cordeiro delivered a fifth state championship to the […]

It was a long time coming and the Hilo Vikings finally got it done for the whole island of Hawaii. No Big Isle team had ever won a football state championship since the tournament began in 1999 … until Saturday night at Aloha Stadium. Heck, it was hard enough for a Big Isle team to win a game in the tourney. Now, they’ve got that elusive Division I (second tier) championship. The Vikings (10-1) got off to a slow start […]
