Rusty, Nice hand off. Pahoa had a football team in the late ninties. They did OK, considering there were only 30 or so players, and had a lot of kids going both ways.
Anyway, since the school doesn't even have locker rooms or showers, and the wrestling team had to practice in the cafeteria.............well, yo see the difficulties. Pahoa gets the short end of the stick in a lot of things.
There also used to be a Pop Warner team, the "Raiders", out of Pahoa. My son played for them a dozen years ago. I don't know what happened to them.
I'm waiting for the school to put a decent swimming program together. There IS the facility for that here, but it seems the kids don't want to wear those little speedo things.
