PAHALA — Kohala’s seniors shined, especially quarterbacks Joey Salvador and Isaiah Villacorte-Caravalho, and linemen Austin Racoma-Salvador and Chase Kalua’u, in a ground-and-pound production.
Salvador ran for two scores, and the Cowboys defeated Ka’u 30-8 in a BIIF eight-man football showdown on Saturday at Pahala Ball Park, in the last home game for the Trojans.
It was supposed to be a feel-good sendoff for eight senior Trojans: Kalamakoa Waiwaiole, Kamaehu DeRamos, Isaac Kailiawa, Gregory Ysawa, Evan Manoha, Duane Santiago, Trieson Pascubilio and John Kaawa-Kaluau.
But the Cowboys (2-0) gashed Ka’u (1-2) for 245 yards on 42 carries for a healthy 5.
