H ilo High’s football team dominated the headlines and left little doubt about its first-place standing at the end of the year.
It was an easy call that coach Kaeo Drummondo, his Vikings, and Kahale Huddleston’s 35 touchdowns were selected as the Tribune-Herald’s top sports story of 2017.
The Vikings had a full platter of accomplishments, starting with their fifth consecutive BIIF Division I title and turning up the noise from there.
For so long, there was an unwanted drumbeat in November on the gridiron: The BIIF is the only league still winless at the HHSAA Division I tournament.
