KEALAKEKUA — It’s been a long wait, but finally, the moment has arrived for Konawaena.
After three weeks without game action, the Wildcats (8-1) welcome MIL champion Lahainaluna (7-4) to the jungle of Kealakekua at 7 p.m. Saturday night for the HHSAA Division II semifinals.
“I’m pumped,” Konawaena defensive lineman Kanoa Galdden said. “I didn’t like waiting. I wish it could have come faster.”
Gladden shares the opinion of many of his Wildcat teammates, who were eager to get back on the gridiron after edging Kamehameha in the BIIF DII championship 27-23 back on Oct.22.
“Sometimes I started drifting off in class, just thinking about this game,” Konawaena linebacker Seau Amor admitted.
