BIIF soccer: Dragons look to breathe fire again in revamped D-II race

Honokaa freshman Nahlyd Anderson makes Maurice Miranda wonder.

Miranda coached Anderson’s father in high school and in AYSO play, and while there is something to be said for longevity, this is hardly the first time his career will have spanned generations.

“I’ve always said the kids I’ve coached, when their kids got to high school, I should be out of here,” Miranda said Sunday at the Hilo Bay Classic. “But that doesn’t happen.”

Here’s what happens: Miranda goes to his full-time job, he goes to the mainland for national AYSO meetings – he’s on the board, but that’s a volunteer gig – and he always finds time to leads a proud Dragons’ boys program.
