‘We were inseparable’: Navy-BYU football matchup reunites boyhood friends Ken Niumatalolo and Jack Damuni

Whenever Ken Niumatalolo and Jack Damuni get on the phone together, the stories flow and the laughter follows.

They reminisce about some of their youthful hijinks, such as sneaking into dances on the campus of Brigham Young University-Hawaii, located in their hometown of Laie.

“We were both tall for our age, so we would try to dance with college girls,” Niumatalolo said with a chuckle.

Speaking to reporters during a virtual news conference, Niumatalolo also recalled throwing water balloons at BYU-Hawaii students and doing other “mischievous things.” Damuni and Niumatalolo love remembering and laughing about the good old days.
