Kapolei High School made history on Saturday, capturing the inaugural HHSAA Division II girls flag football championship in spectacular fashion.
A 77‑19 triumph that will be remembered
The Warriors rolled past Maryknoll with a 77‑19 final score, a margin that underscored the team’s dominance throughout the season.
Quarterback Taimane Amisone was the catalyst, throwing eight touchdown passes that left opponents scrambling to respond.
A milestone for the sport
While flag football has been played for two years at the state level, this was the first season to feature a Division II bracket, giving younger programs a chance to compete for a title.
Kapolei finished the year with a 15‑1 record, a testament to consistent performance from the opening week to the championship game.
The victory was celebrated by players, coaches and the Hawaii High School Athletic Association, which praised the growing popularity of the sport.
HHSAA officials highlighted the significance of the championship as a milestone for gender equity in high school athletics.
With the title secured, the Warriors look ahead to next season with optimism, hoping to build on the momentum generated by Amisone’s record‑setting performance.
