KEAAU — Having eight quarters to play around with before the BIIF championship game, Hilo spent the first four toying with different formations while shuffling between four quarterbacks.
Some plays worked, and when others didn’t the Vikings could always rely on Kalei Tolentino-Perry on the back end.
Some coaches swear the punt is the most important play in football. It was certainly the most prolific for Hilo on Friday night. Tolentino-Perry, a senior with at least four slashes in his job description, took a fake punt 68 yards for a touchdown and the Vikings thwarted Keaau’s struggling offense in a 35-0 victory that served as a Division I tuneup for the road ahead.
