Ho‘ohuli stepped in like nothing happened and completed the 96-yard drive, lofting a pass to Lindon Sevilleja for a 12-yard fade […]

It looks like Sulu’s night is done with Damien up a very comfortable margin. Golden Hawks have fourth and goal from the […]

One big positive for the Golden Hawks is that the participation numbers have gone up this summer, according to coach Kili Watson. “I would describe this team […]
