HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – It\u2019s a silver anniversary to remember for Kapolei High School.<\/p>\n

In the school\u2019s 25th year, its flag football team captured the inaugural Division II state title last weekend \u2014 the school\u2019s first football title in school history.<\/p>\n

It was a lopsided, 77-19 rout of Maryknoll orchestrated by senior quarterback Taimane Amisone, who tossed 8 touchdowns in the win.<\/p>\n

The last time a Hurricanes football team scored at least 70 points was on the tackle side, a 70-0 win over Kealakehe in 2022.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Leading the charge then was Tama Amisone, Taimane\u2019s older brother.<\/p>\n

Older brother Tama, now playing at San Jose State, got to watch his sister make history.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knew him as the quarterback for Kapolei and how he\u2019s a dual threat and stuff, so carrying that on means a lot for me,\u201d Taimane Amisone told Hawaii News Now. \u201cMy brother always tells me good luck, and after the game, he always talks about it, and he actually came to our state championship game.\u201d<\/p>\n

It can be a daunting task to play the same position as your sibling, but that wasn\u2019t apparent to Taimane\u2019s coaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as pressure, she never had pressure,\u201d Co-head coach Brad Hewahewa said. \u201cShe just completely controlled the whole offense and made things happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was an up-and-down season for the Hurricanes after falling to Kalaheo in the OIA championship. Kapolei went into states unseeded, but fought their way to the top.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like we\u2019re blessed with girls that just are ballers and they just wanna play,\u201d co-head coach Fran Aki said.<\/p>\n

It was a complete buy-in from the entire team, who struggled in the sports inaugural season, going 2-3.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cDuring the off-season, I know a lot of them joined the club, and they\u2019re all putting in the work off-season, and it showed this season,\u201d Amisone said.<\/p>\n

With just three seniors on the roster, this Championship run is setting the path for years to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re setting up this program for future success,\u201d Aki said. \u201cSo they\u2019re actually leaving behind a legacy of the starting point of this program.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so fulfilled and just blessed that I got to share something with everyone,\u201d Amisone added.<\/p>\n
