Iolani Intermediates Over Word Of Life To Gain Undefeated Season!

This team gave enough thrills to their loyal fans to last a lifetime. It was a very short season, only 5 games, but to go undefeated, especially the way they did it, was superb.

The game against Word Of Life was very typical. Iolani's passing game is, well, awesome. Jarrett Arakawa is a big time passer. He hangs in there, cool headed, and then let's it fly, almost always right on the mark. And he's got a great receiver crew led by Trevyn Tulonghari. I saw lots of great plays by these two, also Sheldon Lee, Andrew Skalman, Jaron Teramoto, Sean Nada, Ammon Baldomero, and many others.

This game was a fan's dream, if you like offense. Iolani really couldn't stop WOL's running game. WOL couldn't stop Iolani's passing game. Result? Lots of touchdowns.

Iolani was behind almost the whole game, but never by much. They tied it at 34-34 with about a quarter to go. I had to leave at that point but a reliable source told me that WOL scored first to make it 40-34. But they missed the extra point which would turn out to be costly.

With time running out, WOL kicked off to a waiting Trevyn Tulonghari, who ran it all the way back to tie the game at 40. The extra point was good. 41-40, Iolani!

I'll miss watching this team, a lot...Great season guys!
