While Hawai`i high school football isn't quite what y'all have in the South, HS football is God here as well.

To hijack the thread, my husband had a family from Hawai'i move to our hometown. He coached two of the sons. MAN, they rocked it. It was a completely different style of play. And, they tore it up. I have mad respect for them.
