Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (post-game interviews) Lopsided, yes. But it was an interesting matchup nonetheless.

Next up: the Cougars fly to play Lahainaluna on Saturday. Later this week, I’ll post the video interview of Coach […]

Kaiser never faltered, however, and kept doing what it does best: pound defenses […]
Part 1 Part 2 A state-tournament berth was at stake in this OIA Red third-place game. A defensive duel until the second half.
