Punahou Wins Its First Football State Championship
The turnout for the game was incredible… the stands were so packed that they actually opened up the North end zone, which they normally don’t do for high school games.
The game itself, however, wasn’t as great a game as I was expecting it to be… Punahou dominated the game from the get-go… They scored a touchdown and Leilehua had an injured player within the first minute. Punahou’s defense held Leilehua to their own side of the field for the majority of the game… I don’t think Leilehua crossed the 50 yard line until late in the second quarter.
Final score: Punahou 38, Leilehua 7
Congratulations to Punahou on their first Football State Championship!
