By Nick Abramo on August 22, 2017

The most recent football schedule issued by the Oahu Interscholastic Association shows that Waialua will not play any JV football games this year. Bulldogs athletic director Bryce Kaneshiro confirmed that Monday. “It’s been a recurring problem,” said Kaneshiro, who added that Waialua hasn’t had a JV team since 2013. “Kids show interest at signups and that gives us hope,” he said. “Then in the summer that interest starts to wane and some kids decide not to play.” About 35 players […]

By Nick Abramo on August 21, 2017
