By Paul Honda on November 17, 2017

Two days before the big day, Cal Lee is in a good place. Focused. Relaxed. Details, details, details. After 14 Oahu Prep Bowl titles, two state championship crowns, coaching at the University of Hawaii, a stint as AFL2 Hawaiian Islanders coach, and contributing to Kalani’s ascent out of the doldrums, he is back home. Defending titles, that’s something that is never easier than winning them. But Saint Louis is in position to win a second Open Division crown in a […]
