For all Hilo has been through this season, what’s another bus ride?
The two-time defending BIIF Division I champion Vikings were gutted last season when they said goodbye to 10 all-league selections, and then they had to say goodbye to the architect of their resurgence when coach David Baldwin was suspended indefinitely before the start of this season.
But here they are, set to face Kealakehe for the league championship for the fourth consecutive year. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Saturday in Waverider Stadium.
“This matches with the adversity we’ve been feeling,” said senior offensive lineman Seth Fukushima.
