Kaua‘i Police Activities League director Mark Ozaki is on the Mainland for the regionals of the MLB Pitch, Hit and Run competition, but flag football continued at the North Vidinha fields.
K-PAL coordinates the baseball oriented PHR competition and Kaua‘i Police Department’s Dan Miyamoto said Ozaki went with the Kaua‘i qualifiers to support their efforts.
On Kaua‘i, hundreds of youngsters continued their K-PAL flag football season as the Kapa‘a and Koloa Wildcat division players jockeyed on one of three fields where games were taking place at the North Vidinha fields.
Sean Andrade of the Koloa Pop Warner Association said the Koloa team was young and smaller than the Kapa‘a players.
“But, they’ll be coming back for two more seasons,” Andrade said. “They’ll be a lot stronger next year.”
In the first half, both teams battled to a stalemate, but in the second half, Kapa‘a went to the lob pass, keeping the ball out of the hands of the shorter Koloa players.
“We were tied at the half,” Koloa coach Shawn Aguano said. “But they threw the ball high in the second half. Did you see how our boys were jumping for the ball? But, the Kapa‘a boys are a lot taller than us.”
In the K-PAL program, players in the Wildcat division are allowed to pass only. The younger divisions are allowed to pass and run.
Andrade said there will be no games scheduled for the Fourth of July weekend. Following that, there will be one more Saturday game and the Awards Day scheduled for July 22 at the North Vidinha fields.
That event will feature displays of drug awareness as well as games and fun for the entire family.
