KEAAU — When in doubt, give the ball to the quarterback. Better yet, make it Buddy Flores.
The Ka’u senior rushed for his third touchdown in the second overtime Thursday night at Keaau High, and the Trojans came back to beat Pahoa 20-14 in a BIIF eight-man contest in which one team featured slugfest and the other played giveaway.
While the Trojans (3-2) took sole possession of first place, the upstart Daggers (2-3) saw a two-game winning streak end in what was the first overtime game of the BIIF season, and the first in the two-plus years in which the league has sponsored eight-man.
