The West is going to be wild. Again
Star-Bulletin: OIA football kicks off with a lot at stake | Waianae the favorite in stacked conference
It's only fitting that the Red West regular season kicks off at Waianae. As one coach said, that's where the West title goes through.
I just hope there's time to stop at Tasty Freeze for some of those onolicious homemade fries. That's hope. Instead, the traffic along the road, especially Nanakuli, will probably have me fighting to get there for the kickoff. Normally, I'd be out there early, but there are responsibilities to tend to in town first, and that's how it goes.
It won't matter how traffic is by kickoff. Torii Field is one of the best places on Earth to watch a football game. Sun going down over the ocean, which is just a stone's throw from the field.
The West won't be won in one day. In fact, the West winner and runner-up get nothing more than higher seedings in the playoffs, and home-field advantage is no guarantee, as Farrington learned last year. But it's all about positioning and momentum, which are almost as important as staying healthy.
Let the games begin!
