Last season, Kamehameha came within roughly 18 inches from winning at Konawaena.
The first order of business for the Warriors this season isn’t about lessening the distance between winning or losing, but rather the distance between Keaau and Kealakekua.
Why travel 90-plus miles when you don’t have to travel at all?
Home field in the BIIF Division II football championship game is at stake at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Paiea Stadium in what will only be the first round between the Warriors and Wildcats. Konawaena (5-0 BIIF, 5-2) can clinch home field with a victory, while Kamehameha (4-1, 6-2) can do the same with wins against the Wildcats and Honokaa in its regular-season finale.
