Hilo has prepared for the Cyan Miyasato Era all along, but it’s arriving sooner than expected.
The Vikings had every intention of playing their freshman quarterback in their preseason opener against Punahou, a game that eventually was cancelled. Hilo’s coaches were encouraged by what they saw from Miyasato once he was thrust into duty when all-BIIF senior Ka‘ale Tiogangco was injured in the BIIF opener, a game the Vikings came back and won against Konawaena.
With Tiogangco injured and out for an “extended period,” according to coach Kaeo Drummondo, Miyasato has the keys to the offense indefinitely.
