He is short and scrubby. She is tall and rock jawed. He lives on the first floor, while she lives on the second level right above him. For some unexplained reason, she is his heart throb, while he is her most constant nuisance.

For the first time in more than half a century, Molokai Football took to the field with 11 players instead of eight. Though the Farmers lost 37-0 to Nanakuli on Oahu last Satur-day, Head Coach Mike Kahale still considers it a win.
“[It’s been] over 50 years since Molokai has played an 11-man game so definitely a great experience here for us to play under the lights in this atmosphere against a team on Oahu,” he said. “I know the boys were a little disappointed they couldn’t compete as well, [but] I don’t think the score really reflects our effort out there… I think the boys will remember this game and hopefully despite the loss, really cherish it and take it to heart and learn from it.”
The Farmers held the first quarter to a 0-0 score and Kahale said he thought the boys played well in the first half, which closed 21-0.…
