KEAAU — Having eight quarters to play around with before the BIIF championship, Hilo spent the first four toying with different formations while featuring a quarterback carousel.
Some plays worked, and when others didn’t the Vikings could always rely on Kalei Tolentino-Perry on he back end.
Some coaches swear the punt is the most important play in football. It was certainly the most prolific for Hilo on Friday night. Tolentino-Perry, a senior with about five slashes in his job description, took a fake punt 68 yards for a touchdown and the Vikings thwarted Keaau’s struggling offense in a 35-0 victory that served as a Division I tuneup for the road ahead.
