The matchup to watch would have been Waiakea offensive lineman Isaiah K-Aloha against Waialua defensive tackle Matthan Hatchie, who has a Hawaii scholarship offer on the table.
But K-Aloha won’t dress when the Warriors host the Bulldogs at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Ken Yamase Memorial Stadium.
The All-BIIF first-team pick is out with an injury. K-Aloha is a distinguished power lifter, and the senior stands a sturdy 5 feet 10 and 245 pounds.
Waiakea’s only other All-BIIF selection, wide receiver Kingsley Kalili, won’t play either for a good reason.
He doesn’t have enough practice time.
