Kohala is experiencing a rebuilding year with only four starters returning for the BIIF 8-man football season.
However, coach Reggie Tolentino doesn’t necessarily consider this a bad thing.
“It’s actually kind of good to see young and new talent come in,” Tolentino said. “We get to base our style of play on the players coming up. The four starters, they know what is going on, they know the style of play and the program, and they will set an example for the new guys. That is all I need.”
The Cowboys lost to Ka’u in the eight-man title game last year behind the Trojans’ ground and pound offense led by 2016 Player of the Year, Buddy Flores.
