KAPA‘A — After a week off due to the Fourth of July holiday, the K-PAL (Kaua‘i Police Activities League) Flag Football action resumed at Kapa‘a Ballpark yesterday, which actually felt like a desert.
The heated action followed the similar hot weather with teams from Anahola, Lihu‘e, Kapa‘a, Koloa, Waimea, and Hanapepe competing in the league that’s designed to teach youths, the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and physical fitness.
K-PAL director Mark Ozaki was on hand, juggling multiple tasks, including officiating, which the former championship boxer calls his favorite duty. Parents and relatives of the players were huddled under tents, trying to keep as cool as possible from the scorching sun.
Bryan Aiwhoi, one of the coaches from the Kawaihau Community major’s Little League, brought his whole family to the Ballpark, except son, BJ, who was one of the Kawaihau major’s all-stars, who recently finished in second- place in the District 1 major’s division.
Next week, the football games move over to the Koloa Ballpark, with the action starting at 8:00 a.m.
