Ken Yamase Memorial Stadium dedication

Waiakea High School will hold a dedication of the Ken Yamase Memorial Stadium at 10 a.m. Saturday, preceding a preseason football game between the Warriors and Kamehameha-Hawaii.

The stadium is named after Ken Yamase, the former Waiakea athletic director and BIIF executive director. Yamase lobbied the Legislature during his 17-year tenure as AD to get money for the construction of the campus facility. The stadium has finally reached its completion seven years after his passing.

The dedication will be followed by a preseason game with the junior varsity at 11 a.
