Kaua‘i Cowboys look to lasso Kona
The Garden Island
The Kaua‘i Cowboys semi-pro football squad faces a tough Kona Razorbacks team in a semi-final match-up of the Hawai‘i Football League playoffs on Saturday at Vidinha Stadium. The gates will open at 6:00 p.m., with the kick-off going on at 7:00 p.m.
The Razorbacks are the only squad this season to defeat the number-one-seeded Maui Stars. The Cowboys are 1-1 this season against Kona with a loss coming in the first game of the season in Kona. Kaua‘i avenged the loss with a win against the Kona squad in the latter part of the season.
With a win over Kona, the Cowboys will earn a spot in the Hawai‘i Football League title game, which could be held at Vidinha Stadium, if Maui falters in their semi-final contest.
