I Mua Olympic’s Newest Addition: Powder Puff
As a new era begins in Hawaii prep football, with the ILH and OIA merge, so does one here at Kamehameha Schools. With so many changes and policies being added, ASKS felt that it was time to modify the beloved I Mua Olympics. “We wanted to increase school spirit and we thought that getting activities for the students to play would be a nice way to do that.”, said ASKS member Hoku Arias.
The addition of Powder Puff opens gives the girls of Kapālama an opportunity to showcase their football knowledge. Powder Puff football will allow girls to compete head to head in touch-tackle football games. The rules for pylon football also apply to Powder Puff, as it must be in compliance of other I Mua Olympic activity policies. “First and foremost was safety, but after that we really left it up to what the students wanted for themselves.”, said Arias.
I Mua Olymics begins on Sep. 17, so be sure to cheer on girls participating in Powder Puff during the homeroom and lunch blocks.
Hi, my name is Reino Bush. I was born and raised on the west side out in Waiʻanae. Although this is my senior year and 6th consecutive year here on the hill, I am fairly new to this journalism stuff and especially Ka Mōʻī. Some of my favorite foods are manapuaman, hot dogs, and cheeseburgers. I really don't do much in my spare time except play football and spend time at home with my family. Shoutout to my girlfriend, Emma and to my boys of 7K. Lets gooo!!!!
