Copper Strands

A portion of this power cable was cut, and the end stripped to expose the copper wire strands so a terminator can be attached.

Breaking Free

A running back from the Mill Vill Trojans [white helmet] breaks free from the defense of the Ewa Beach Sabers during a Jr Prep Sports (JPS) youth football game. He gained another five yards before being tackled.

Today's post is dedicated in memory of the late Patrick Mauga, who was the voice of the JPS games at Aloha Stadium. He suddenly passed away last year. JPS games won't be the same without hearing Patrick's gregarious voice, and enthusiastic announcing over the PA system, and on the game recordings.

New Turf

In the summer of 2016, the Aloha Stadium had to replace its UBU Speed Series S5M Sports Turf. The installers had less than eight weeks to tear out the previous turf, inspect the ground beneath, then lay the drain pads, turf panels, and the sand and rubber in-fill. The job was completed in time for the fall 2016 high school and college football season. Today's photo shows a shot from turf blades level as players from the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warriors arrive to hold their pre-season Fall Scrimmage.
