On August 15, 2009, the "Na Koa o Anuenue" Football Team from Honolulu, Hawai'i, took on the Kamehameha-Maui Football team and came out Victorious with only 45 seconds left in the fourth quarter to score a 26-20 in the final. It was a chilling and chicken skin experience from the start to the end of the game. Bottom line, you had to be there and for myself, it was "awesome" to see what I have never witness in a football game.The game started out by a chant called "Oli Aloha No Palolo" which describes the area where Anuenue is situated. The alaka'i or team captains went forward to present the lomi sticks and a pu'olo (ti leaf bundle) to the Kamehameha Football Team. Talk about chills and chicken skin, "wow", that was "awesome" to watch and again, I have to say that you had to be there to feel like you were back in history.
After the presentation, the team did the dance, Ku'i Moloka'i a true Hawaiian male dance. "Congratulation" to the Anuenue Football Team, Coach Timothy Kealohamakua Wengler, his staff and players!
