Battling against insurmountable odds, Kauai High School's Red Raiders under coaches Seichi Ono and Akio Kubota assisted by the Rev, Thomas Allport, fought through a sea- son of three heartwarming victories and five defeats against other island foes and K.l.F. competition. The Raiders flashed power and effective- ness in their series of victories over Kapaa and Vwfaialua, but sank to their lowest ebb in los- ing to Waimea. In the other two losses to HonoIuIu's Kaimuki and Roosevelt visitors, the underdog Raiders rose to great heights and threatened to upset pre-game predictions. The l95O varsity was an inexperienced outfit sparked by ten returning lettermen. Of these veterans, seven made the K.l.F. All Star teams. Ben Victorino and Akito Ogoshi were named to the first string of the mythical eleven. On the second string were Howard Uyeno, Thomas Higa, Roland Peahu, Tomoki Uchivama, and Clarence Shiraki. Other players who displayed a good brand of ball were Henry Kuba, Tsugio Yamaguchi, Elden Tanaka, Edward Kato, Henry Koga, Frank Quinones, Sun Kwong Say, and Simeon Agao. Early in the season, the Raiders showed fine defensive and offensive form in their game against the Kaimuki Bulldogs. Trailing by a I4 to O score at the end of the first half, the Raiders came back in the final period with two touchdowns but failed to convert each time and lost by a l4 to l2 score. ln the second pre-season game, the varsity flew to rural Oahu to engaae Waialua High School, beating them by a 7 to O score in a sluggish game. The Raiders scored in the sec- ond quarter on a 22-yard pass from Higa to lt's off to the airport, Oahu-bound, for Koga, Ray, Ben, Roland, and Akito. Mission accomplished- Kauai 7, Waialua 0.
