Kingston Keanaaina Dazzles in Saint Francis Win
Starting off the list is Saint Francis's Kingston Keanaaina, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Keanaaina rushed for 212 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Keanaaina might have his next game, a road matchup with Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, circled on his calendar. Keanaaina rushed for 249 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Fightin' Irish duked it out back in October of 2023.
