And now, let the rivals be friends. It’s always been common to see players on competing Hawaii teams act friendly toward one another, or even be good friends with players on other teams.
Well, sportsmanship was taken to a new level in the boys and girls soccer state championships recently.
In the girls final, a 1-0 Mililani win over ‘Iolani, during an injury timeout, the Trojans’ Robyn Peiler helped the Raiders’ Kristen Hori stretch out a cramp in her leg, right on the field of play.
The same thing happened in a boys semifinal, a Kalani 1-0 win over ‘Iolani, when the Falcons’ Ryan Abe helped out the Raiders’ Spencer Ho, who was also cramping.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Jamm Aquino got a photo in both instances.
