Waiakea was supposed to operate the run-and-shoot under new offensive coordinator Kai Ako, who played at Saint Louis back in the day when quarterbacks, like Timmy Chang, filled the sky with entertaining touchdown strikes.
But on Saturday, the Warriors played pure smash-mouth football — Kahuku style — to pummel Keaau 42-6 in a BIIF Division I showdown at Ken Yamase Memorial Stadium, dominating on both sides of the ball.
Waiakea (1-1 BIIF, 1-4 overall) bulldozed for 349 yards and four touchdowns on 31 attempts for a whopping 11.3 yard per carry average.
The Warriors passed just five times.
