This game turned out as good as I hoped. Tied 10-all at the half, a lot of good defense. Leilehua had a big dose of trickeration very early in the game and it proved to be the difference. VIDEO: Leilehua-Radford, part 1 VIDEO: Leilehua-Radford, part 2 Paul Honda, Star-Advertiser
The bird watch on Kauai continues. Attendance for a key game between Kapaa and Kauai at Vidinha Stadium on Saturday afternoon drew 1,250 fans, Red Raiders athletic director Ross Shimabukuro said.

Apologies to Mr. Tupinio. When Leilehua Mule player No. 1 flung a perfect spiral downfield on the second play of the game for a touchdown, credit went to No. 1 on the roster. That’s Russell Siavii. However, coach Nolan Tokuda reports this morning that it wasn’t Siavii, who normally plays defense. Apparently, the Mules now have two players wearing jersey No. 1.
