“Remarkable” and “amazing” are two words St. John Bosco coach Jason Negro used to describe his impressions of Hawaii. The highly acclaimed football team is staying and practicing at Turtle Bay Resort in preparation for Friday’s 7:30 p.m. game at Aloha Stadium against state power St. Louis. If the cards fall just right, maybe “remarkable” and “amazing” will be the words fans use after the contest. The Braves, from Bellflower, Calif., are the reigning California open division champions and finished […]
