One empire rises as another falls, especially if one is new to the neighborhood. At least, that’s what the BIIF history books tell us.
Keaau joined the football landscape in 2001, finished 0-8, and four years later played in the first of consecutive BIIF championships.
The Cougars have yet to win a BIIF crown, but for reference they can look at their Division I rival, Waiakea, which debuted in 1978 and captured its first coveted trophy in 1994.
Keaau’s last BIIF championship appearance was in 2011, another title loss to Kealakehe. The Cougars eliminated Waiakea in the semifinals and finished with a 4-4 record.
