Warriors end camp

by STEPHEN TSAI on AUGUST 14, 2016

The Warriors ended training camp with an animated 100-minute scrimmage at Aloha Stadium last night.

It was a good night for the offense — the line, quarterbacks and receivers had their moments — and the defense responded in the final three “quarters.”

To note:

> The players selected nine members to the leadership council — quarterback Ikaika Woolsey, offensive lineman Leo Koloamatangi, wideout Marcus Kemp, running back Steven Lakalaka, defensive end Makani Kema-Kaleiwahea, nose tackle Kory Rasmussen, safeties Daniel Lewis and Damien Packer, and kicker/punter Rigo Sanchez. Two freshman members will be added before the season opener.

> Woolsey was one of four team-appointed leadership council members who served as captains. Woolsey is widely regarded as the leading contender for the quarterback’s job. But head coach Nick Rolovich said Woolsey’s inclusion as game captain was not an indicator of a final decision. Woolsey completed 12-of-19 passes for 100 yards, including a 20-yard TD to slotback John Ursua. Ursua was targeted nine times, catching five for 80 yards.

> Aaron Zwahlen was 9-of-14 for 128 yards. He tossed a 22-yard scoring pass to slotback Dylan Collie.

> Dru Brown was 12-of-17 for 130 yards.

> Cole Brownholtz was 4-of-6 for 26 yards. He displayed his perimeter speed with his 5-yard sprint on third-and-4.

> Woolsey praised the offensive line as “the most consistent group in camp.”

> Despite allowing touchdowns on two of the first three drives, the defense relinquished only Rigo Sanchez’s 40-yard field goal in the final 12 possessions.

> The offense drove to the 31 before fumbling. Middle linebacker Jahlani Tavai picked up the ball and scooted 64 yards for the scoop-six.

> Communications went well. There did not appear to be any problems — or delays — in relaying calls between the coaches in the booth and on the field.

the game is in Sydney, Australia.

Just noticed that Hawaii appears to be the only team playing 13 regular season games this year.  None of the teams that are visiting Hawaii are taking the option of playing 13.

I see you chose the "multiple post complaint about attempt at board meme" method to get to 100 points and therefore gaining the ability to upvote or downvote posts. Rarely used. Well done indeed. 

Because the interface makes it tedious do so and I am not inclined at the moment, this blog mishap will remain, if that's alright. Well, it will be alright.

It'll be great to have film on them. The last time we had film from the current season against our season opening opponent, it was Colorado in 1997 when we had a Week 1 bye.
