Three-way tie for 1st in Pop Warner

A 6 – 6 tie between the Kapa‘a JPW Jr. Warriors and the Kekaha JPW Panthers set up a three-way tie for the lead of the JPW dvision following the weekend’s games played at Vidinha Stadium.

Kekaha rebounded from this opening stalemate as Max Agor reaped a 59-yard TD in the second quarter and followed it up with a fourth quarter score as the Kekaha PW Seahawks nipped the Kapa‘a PW Vikings 12-8, Kapa‘a scoring on a 95-yard punt return by Timothy Teves in the third quarter.

Tiloy Alapa did the point-after boot for Kapa‘a.

The Kekaha Midget Chargers dominated the field, scoring on long drives to blank the Kapa‘a Midget Vikings 31-0.

Ikaika Rapacon and Mickey Blackstad led an explosive scoring third quarter fueled the Koloa JPW Packers to a 20-0 shutout over Northshore JPW Na Ali‘i who was able to contain the Packers for most of the second quarter before succumbing to the second half scoring flurry.
