FIRST QUARTER
************************
Waianae is the only team that still can’t develop a passing game. At least Farrington and Kahuku are trying.
Rory should go coach at a waianae and become the OC he’s has a better understanding of how to use Rosario at QB. Hahaha.
felipo ohastro n darren herndez say yestrday kahu 24-0 game was boring . Lol now herndez team only 7-0
Waianae needs to make their Oline push sleds all next week, work on footwork and use the chutes to learn to stay low. Big for nothing, brute force doesn’t work, they need to learn technique. Rosario is talented, but it’s hard to run when there’s no push.
Kapolei’s defense is solid. Aaron Faamui, Dylan Toilolo and Rocky anchor them. Offense needs work badly. They need anchors on their side of the ball. Some of Amosa’s calls were questionable.
And this game was more entertaining than Farrington and Campbell in my opinion. More rugged and defensive.
