Playoffs are upon us...

So for anyone who is following this blog, as well, as following my kids football, the playoffs are upon us. My son Kamiko granted is not playing for a championship, they are just trying to salvage what has been a very trying year.

Now Kulani's team, well that's another story. These kids when I first coached them back 6 yrs ago., I had to take a knee to get down to their level, now they're 6 ft. tall, and I have to look up to see them eye to eye. How do you handle this? How do you handle, these kids... men, they were once young children, now they are young men... built in the image that you try to instill in them... Giving direction... discipline... accountability... passion... I love these kids, men, I hope that when Kamiko's teammates get to this age I feel the same for them.

Good luck 8th graders, good luck in life... and good luck in the playoffs! Go HAWX!!!

Regular Season done and over with... finally...

Well, the final whistle of Kulani's 8th grade youth football regular season blew. He did awesome... Kamiko's game was somethin' else as well... great job boys. They both ended up winning... whew!

Another sleepless Friday

Well, hmm... it's midnight on Friday. Me... Kari, and Kulani, are sittin' up watchin'... HEY, I know wut you did last summer... Why are we up? Me, I can't stop thinkin' about football... I can't wait to hopefully chalk up our first win for Kamiko's team, I can't wait to see the fire that is lit under Kamiko's ass since he's not gonna be a starter. We're hopin' that maybe because he's not startin', the chances he does get on offense and defense, he's just the 'monsta' that we know he can be. But again, we can't want it more than him... and he's just 9 yrs. old! Built like an 11 yr old, and strong as one too! Kulani gets to start as QB, so we can't wait to see him play. God I Love football, thank you God for this blessed game.
