GRR: Kahuku
Teams from Utah as well as Arizona and Hawai’i converged on St. Georgia in Southern Utah to play the Puriri Memorial Invitational over the weekend.
The Kahuku Red Raiders are once again Hawaii state champions.
Kahuku played through a three-game weekend to take the title, shutting out Hilo 48-0 in the quarterfinals, Kona Bulls 48-0 in the semis, and then Big Isand United 29-3 in the final.
Herriman HS Hawaiian champion Kahuku HS this past week in the opener for Kahuku's tour of Utah.
Kahuku HS finished off a tour of New Zealand to cap off what has been a superbly successful season, going 4-0 to follow up on a Pacific Cup victory in April.
"W had a lot of pride in our senior class - they carried the team this season," said Head Coach Seamus Fitzgerald.
Kahuku's ride to a victory at the Pacific Cup was a bumpy one, at least at the start, but in the end the Red Raiders upended some impressive opposition to take the title this past weekend.
