Brandon Echalas’ nickname suggests that of a flashy offensive player, and a self-important one at that.
On the Ka’u football team, the senior is known as “Hollywood” because he likes to dress and look nice on the field, from his tucked-in jersey and cleanly combed hair all the way down to his shoes.
“Everything has to be perfect,” Trojans coach DuWayne Ke said. “If it’s not perfect, he’s not happy.”
But don’t be fooled, Echalas has the attitude of a defensive player and during the BIIF eight-man football season he showed he clearly doesn’t mind getting down and dirty.
