Right about the time that the lights were going out at Aloha Stadium during Saint Louis’ 28-0 victory over Kahuku, there were some records being set in far away Nanakuli on Saturday night.

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 15, 2019

Nu’usegi Afoa may have found himself a new home. Up until two weeks ago, the Pearl City senior spent much of his time running backward as part of the Chargers’ secondary. But the coaches decided to give him a shot at charging into opposing backfields as a defensive end. The switch paid off on Thursday with Afoa — listed at 5 foot 9 and 160 pounds — contributing two highlight stops in Pearl City’s 33-0 OIA Division II win over […]
