Ewaliko, Reinhardt shine in Polynesian all-star game

Their team lost 14-0, but Baldwin High School seniors Keelan Ewaliko and Abraham Reinhardt represented well in the Polynesian All-American Classic in La Mirada, Calif.

The game was two weeks ago, but I finally rounded up the statistics from Team Black's shutout victory over Team White.

Ewaliko, perhaps taking his last snaps as a quarterback, was 4-for-19 passing for 45 yards as the University of Hawaii commit struggled to connect with receivers after just two practices. He did find Kahuku's Johnson Kawehena on a 39-yard reception, however.

It was rushing where Ewaliko excelled — he had 80 yards on 13 carries, with a long gain of 17 yards. The rest of Team White combined for minus-1 yard on seven carries, including two totes for zero yards by Kahuku standout Aofaga Wily.

Reinhardt, who has an invited walk-on offer from UH, had a team-high five tackles and grabbed an interception.
