The performance: Anyway you cut it, Kelekolio delivered a virtuoso performance Saturday in leading Konawaena to its first victory at the HHSAA Division II football tournament.
The senior running back ran for three touchdowns in the first 13 minutes against Damien as the Wildcats jumped out to a big lead, but his biggest carries of the night might have come late in the fourth quarter as Konawaena desperately tried to hold off the Monarchs’ rally.
Kelekolio churned out two first downs and Konawaena went to kick a game-clinching field goal for a 42-33 victory.
“Always work hard in practice and get yourself ready for a game,” Kelekolio said.
