Neither the stage nor the moment ever got too big for Hilo, so – besides digging into the postgame spread – there were only a few things left for the Vikings to do Saturday night after most of the appreciative crowd had made its way out of Wong Stadium.
Kuresa Toledo cherished the moment with his ohana, Koa Kapahu tried to let it all sink in and Kaleo Apao, sounding as if he was ready to play another 48 minutes – going both ways – admired his team’s hard work while chartering the course ahead.
It’s a championship course.
