The matchup between the Cougars and the Wildcats didn't end well, with the Cougars falling 44-26. The Cougars' loss signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.
Meanwhile, Hilo got themselves on the board against Waiakea on Saturday, but Waiakea never followed suit. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Warriors 55-0. The Vikings' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
The victory made it two in a row for Hilo and bumps their season record up to 4-3. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 3 points in those games. As for Kea'au, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-3.
Kea'au didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Hilo in their previous matchup back in August, but they still walked away with a 24-20 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cougars since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
