BIIF football: This time it counts as rivals Hilo, Waiakea meet in semifinals

They say that when rivals play you can throw out the records.

Well, Waiakea coach Moku Pita is ready to throw out the entire regular season. Since conditioning started in July, Pita has stressed to his team that BIIF football is but a two-game season.

For the Warriors and Hilo, it’s go-time.

“We’ve been practicing hard and going hard every day this week,” Pita said

Unless the skies open up Friday and the rain is of almost biblical proportions, the conditions at Wong Stadium for the 7 p.m. BIIF Division I semifinal between Waiakea (2-5 BIIF, 2-8) and Hilo (5-2, 5-4) figure to be markedly better than they were when the teams met in a quagmire three weeks ago.
