If form holds, Hilo will jump out to a quick lead Friday night against Waiakea, coast to a 35-point victory and celebrate its fourth consecutive BIIF Division I football championship at Wong Stadium.
Drive home safely, everybody.
The recent trends are not in the Warriors’ favor as they seek their first BIIF title since 2001.
“First thing we need to do is make sure we make plays on defense,” Waiakea coach Moku Pita said. “Then we have to do it on offense. We have to make plays.”
Waiakea (3-4 BIIF, 3-7) and Hilo (7-0, 7-1) already have secured berths to the HHSAA tournament, and the Warriors already have shown improvement this season, reaching three wins for the first time in Pita’s fourth season at the helm.
