Saint Louis’ four-time reigning state championship team’s 41-23 victory over Punahou was the big Hawaii high school football story of the weekend, but two other teams also chalked up wins in Interscholastic League of Honolulu games.
‘Iolani won its fourth straight game by dispatching PAC-5 47-0, and Saint Louis II (a secondary Crusaders varsity team) upended Damien 34-14.
