The season opener at Waianae was also the debut of new coach Mike Fanoga and quarterback Sheldon McLeod. Waianae outlasted No. 7 Waipahu 35-20.
Good win for WAIANAE. WAIPAHU was short handed but no excuse & Waianae has a Lavar ball on there sidelines “CHEERLEADING”
Seariders finally look updated passing the ball with schemes and confidence to balance out the strong running attack.
Their defense also has been shored up with talent and understanding roles. This game against a tough Waipahu team with a NCAA running back showed The team bought in coach Fanoga’s vast collegiate coaching knowledge and appreciation for the young men’s growth and potential. KauKau time!
