New kicker Kekoa Sasaoka

Post by Irse »

Hope he's good. We need a good one.

A former All-State player is entering the University of Hawaii football team’s kicking competition.

Kekoa Sasaoka, who played for Snow College (Ephraim, Utah) last year, told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser he is joining the Rainbow Warriors on Thursday, the first day of training camp.

I remember when he played at Farrington. It really hurt the Govs when he left to go to Kahuku. He was a really good high school kicker. I wonder how he ended up at Snow College. I think UH wanted him out of high school. He could be what we need.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

Didn't know his name, but I was hearing we were bringing in another kicker. Looks like he will upgrade the competition in summer camp.

I knew about him, but I heard another was coming in but didn't know it was Sasaoka.

I thought it was two. Which is still one too many.

Kicking was terrible. Anyone would be an upgrade.

The University of Hawaii football team’s kicking competition took a turn with the departure of Kekoa Sasaoka.
This is surprising, 1 week before kickoff and he decides to leave to return to JC.
