Correction on Sunday Pop Warner story
In Sunday’s story about Pop Warner Flag Football, the four-year-old league was called the “brainchild” of Leon Gonsalves.
In reality, the idea belonged to former Kaua’i Pop Warner President Edmund Acoba. He, along with Mario Longboy, Ray Ellis and Dennis Zablan “were on the ground floor” of the effort, according to Acoba..
In fact, Acoba and his crew were the first Pop Warner organization in the country to launch the Spring Flag Football. Acoba was responsible for getting an administrative waiver that allowed him to run his program in the spring. All other Pop Warner football is run beginning late in the summer and spreading to the fall.
