Across the islands, players and coaches are gearing up for the coming season.
Pop Warner kids will soon be suiting up – some for the first time.
High school practices officially opened yesterdays for three days of conditioning before the players put on the pads on Monday.
The first games involving MIL teams are just around the corner.
On Saturday, Aug. 16th, Kamehameha-Maui will open against reigning Division II champion Iolani at Aloha Stadium.
That same night, Maui High will debut against Kalaheo at War Memorial Stadium.
Baldwin, Lahainaluna, Kekaulike and St. Anthony are scheduled to play their openers the following weekend.
We will be covering more than 20 MIL and state tournament games this fall exclusively on Maui's ESPN 550.
The University of Hawaii opens camp over the weekend, although most of the kids – even the transfers – have been around all summer.
Most of the attention will be focused on new head coach Greg McMackin, who succeeds June Jones, and a four-way battle to inherit Colt Brennan's job at quarterback.
Returnees Tyler Graunke and Inoke Funaki join JC transfers Greg Alexander and Brent Rausch in what promises to be a spirited competition.
Hawaii opens Aug. 30 at Gainesville. Fla, against national title contender Florida, led by the reigning Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
