"Are You Ready For Some Football?"


... is the tagline to ESPN's Monday Night Football. The 2007 regular season for Hawai‘i high schools is about to begin in a couple of weeks. Today's photo was taken from the Camera 2 position, high above the north end zone atop the Aloha Stadium Jumbotron®, while the teams were warming up.

Last night's pre-season match up was between the Saint Louis Crusaders (white jerseys) and the Kahuku RedRaiders (red jerseys). These two teams last faced each other last December, in the 2006 State Championship game, with Kahuku edging out Saint Louis, 7-6. Last night, the Crusaders avenged their loss by thumping the RedRaiders, 21-6. In the afternoon game, the junior varsity teams faced off, with the Crusaders spanking the RedRaiders, 47-14.

Could this be a preview of the 2007 State Finals? Can the RedRaiders repeat as champions? We shall see on November 30th ...

Seems like nobody dares to sit on the other side of the stadium.

Actually it's my CoolPix L3!

For the community in Kahuku, football is king. Their turnout at games are usually one of the larger ones.
