Re-building is a reality for public schools, I feel bad for Mililani having to play undersized fresh/sophmores because there is no one else.
Damn better community than where you live, for which you probably have a played out t-shirt with the name of that neighborhood all in capitalized letters and bold followed by PRIDE!!!!!
Get an All-American City designation. THEN talk to a Mililanian about hometown pride. Our football program is just ONE of the things tgat make our community great.
7:30: Gabriel is sacked again, this time by Yoshi Kobayashi. The Trojans punt. Punahou ball at its 35.
The sack was 92 = Hiram deFries- Saronitman
Punahou, congrats on another victory! Mililani hold your heads up high! Never be ashamed of giving it your best shot!
Take it easy, Chicken Grease.
