Lahainaluna lost a tough one to Baldwin 21-0 in JV football. The boys from Baldwin just appeared to be much
bigger than their counterparts from Lahaina across the board. On offense,
Lahainaluna was not able to really muster up any big plays. Defensively, the
boys played tough, but Baldwin made some big plays to score. Baldwin’s first
score came after some miscommunication in the defensive backfield that left a
huge gap. Baldwin was able to snap the ball as the defender was running across
the field to get into position and the pass went right to that gap for the
touchdown. The second touchdown came right after a Lahainaluna interception. On
the first play of the ensuing possession, the Baldwin QB went deep and the
receiver made a great catch and fought through the tackle for a touchdown.
Likewise, Baldwin’s final touchdown was a heartbreaker. The Bear QB released
the ball just as he was getting sacked. In the end zone, the Baldwin receiver
was able to win the jump ball over two Lahainaluna defenders and came down with
the ball for the touchdown.
Not sure I can remember the last time a Lahainaluna football team was
shut out. I am sure they will bounce back and give a better showing next time.
