"Nalea Trujillo" The Winning Field Goal


Nalea Trujillo who is a freshman on the JV Moanalua Football team was also on the Ka'oi Rampage Soccer Team who represented Hawaii at the the U.S. Youth Soccer Far West Regionals in Las Vegas ( Hawaii State Cup GU12 Championship) and made it to the semifinals.

She also competed in the San Diego Surf Cup, "The Champion of Champions tournament", and tonight, October 16, 2009, Nalea Trujillo is Moanalua JV Freshman Football "Champion of Champs." With 3 seconds left on the clock and Aiea JV football team calling two times out to put the pressure on Nalea, it didn't hold up. Nalea stated, "yes she had butterflies" and was breathing too fast, but her teammates told her to calm down, takeout her mouth piece and breath. When it was time to kick the ball she just did what she had to do, and the ball went right between the goal up rights. For a second she couldn't recall what happened, but when she looked down and saw the Aiea JV Football players on the ground at her feet, she realized that she made the final winning field goal. The final score over Aiea JV Football team, 17-14. "Congratulations" to Nalea Trujillo and the Moanalua JV Football team (more photos - select see more photos at right).
