Coach Rasmussen said, "Boys fought hard and stuck together even though we were down in the first q uarter. Up by 4 in the half at 24-20, our defense and teamwork helped up build a lead and keep it to hold on to win. Super proud of the boys and hoping to keep this energy going in to this Friday's game vs our division rival at Pahoa."
Athletic Director Jaime Guerpo reports Trojan high scorers were Excel Bonoan with 23 points, followed by Daetin Castillo with 16 points, both scoring more that any Waiākea player.
