Hi Paul,

Dropping into let you know that Lanai’s first 8 man football game is AT HOME on September 13th, at 1pm. We have 34 young men on the team. The head coach is Stephen Ferguson, who owns Canoes Restaurant in Lanai city.

We did it! Lana’i has it’s very first High School football program!

Aloha,

Thank you for this article. We most certainly are working on building our football programs here on the island. The young athletes have yet another outlet for their talents and energies and we are extremely excited about our new football field and the home games that we were able to hold here this past season.

Fundraising is tough, as out of our 15 total games (between our Tiny Mites and Pee Wee teams) we travel for 11 of them, but our team, our board, our coaches and our parent & ohana support has been tremendous. The support from Pulama Lana’i has been amazing, and only out shadowed by the kokua & aloha from our community.

Updates to come, for sure!
