This is a good one.

6:01 p.m. — Beautiful sunset. Sorry, but the photo off my camera can’t capture the hues of lavender and violet at all. This has always been one of the best school sites to see a sunset before (or during) a game and still is. (Waianae is also up there, probably at the top.)

The Mules are warming up. Kealakehe is still in the lockerroom. Interesting info floating around here in the press box, like the Waveriders making a big change at quarterback, where Tyler Yates — the Big Island version of Michael Vick — is out with a season-ending leg injury.

More later. Kickoff is 7 p.m. They had fried opelu the last time I was here (2009). Need to scout the concession stand.
