What a busy week for me, from Las Vegas LVSSA Championship to High School football here on Oahu, to Division II Pee Wee football. I have to say that covering the Pee Wee football was a pleasure and no better place to enjoy a relaxing Saturday game at Crane Park in Kaimuki. The atmosphere was an enjoyable one for me. I was invited by Mr. Phillip (Bucky) Buchannan, Business Manager and Trainer of the Manoa Paniolo who play in the Oahu Pop Warner Division II Pee Wee. The kids range in age from 9-12 and their head coach is Kyle Pupuhi. This is the Manoa Paniolo's 3rd game of the season. The first was forfeited by the Hawaii Young Warriors, the 2nd against Hawaii-Kai ended 13-0, and today's game with the Kapahulu Raiders was 18-0.Today's game against the Kapahulu Raiders was a great game for both sides, very professional like shooting an "NFL" game. The intensity of these kids was very serious, and they played like there was no tomorrow. The Manoa Paniolo's running back, #9 Shon Aragon scored the first touchdown with amazing speed and cut backs throughout the game. Wide receiver #88 Ekolu Akau making key tackles and blocks all day long against the Raiders. Great job to both Shon and Ekolu and thanks the Manoa Paniolo management staff, coaches and team for inviting me to cover this event and "thank you" for the ono bento. Thanks also to the Raiders President, Lyntillus Boyd and his coaching staff and to all the players.
