Hilo’s Kahale Huddleston unexpectedly switched his jersey number for the BIIF Division I football championship game, not that anyone was confused.
On the Vikings’ first play from scrimmage, the new No. 6 in blue galloped around the left side with his trademark burst for 40 yards, and two plays later he was already in the end zone.
It was clear it could only be one man – The Man.
Huddleston said he switched from No. 22 to No. 6 to honor Hilo High. On this night, five would have been symbolic as well as the Vikings’ extended their dynasty.
