GO TEAM GO!!
Although we were not able to watch this weekend my 3 brothers played some good games. First Uncle Jared played against Montana. They lost but Jared did get the ball three time for about 16+ yards. Nothing amazing but atleast it was someting. I am still very proud of him for his hard work and dedication to the team. They are a young team and they will come around.
Next came our hawaii boys. Both Nai'a and John play for Kealakehe Waveriders. John (Kalanikoki) plays JV wide reciever. According to mom Kalanikoki scored one touchdown and helped with the extra point. JV won Hilo 38-6.
Now Vars was a whole nother game. According to mom this game was totally fustrating, cause Hilo refs suck big time. Talk about JUICE! Bad calls from the refs and silly mistakes from Kealakehe made it difficult to play as well as they should have. Although the highlight for me is that Kanai'a stepped up and played quarterback. For weeks now everytime mom and me talk the conversation goes to Nai'a and the team. She has been trying to figure out why he hasn't wanted to play QB to help the team. The kid they had is a joke, he is a sophmore who only played pop warner, can u say BUBBLE GUM! Anyway the coaches were trying to give this kid the opportunity to play QB because well who knows, I guess they thought they had nothing else. Kanai'a on the other hand was kinda taking a backseat and playing reciever, even though he has 2 years expericence playing QB, but he wanted to catch not throw. But there was nothing to catch as he discovered in there first couple perseason games cause this other kid can throw but not with accuracy or with the power needed for varsity. So this week by some miracal Nai'a took the lead for his team and played with composure, which is what they needed when the refs call crap and things don't go your way when u need it to. I am so happy to know that he was a leader out on the field when his team needed him.
This is pieces from the Hawaii Tribune-Herald written about the game.
"Kealakehe (1-0) was sparked by running quarterback Jordan Ursua and Justin DeSilva, who gained 97 yards on 19 carries. Ursua ran for 128 yards, most on draw plays, on 19 attempts. He went 11 of 19 for 133 yards and two interceptions.
Last season, Ursua racked up about 1,300 receiving yards, but against Hilo he started at quarterback for the first time. He may not be the quarterback next week because the team is trying to develop sophomore Dominick Trevino, who threw one incompletion."
"Ursua is quick, shifty and we want to get him the ball in the open," Clark said. "We need his game experience and his leadership for a young offensive team. We want to bring our young quarterback Dominick Trevino along slowly. The key is getting the chains moving and Ursua does a good job at that."
"We wanted to get the ball rolling, get the team's confidence up and get a win under our belts. Ursua may not be at quarterback next week. It's a game-time decision. But we need him in the game because he does so many things."
Growing up in my family we my mom has always encouraged all of us to stay involved in something, but my brothers it has always been sports. And no matter what we as a family have gone to everything from soccor games, football, baseball, and even track. I don't know how much it means to them, but I loved watching them play, win or lose. And now being so far away I miss being there to support them in what they do. I can say that I am extremely proud of each of them for how hard they work. Keep it up guys!
