Super Bowl 50: St. Francis High football team gets chance of lifetime

Kamalii Akina, St. Francis' run-savvy quarterback, will play the part of Carolina's Cam Newton.

...Akina, the son of Stanford defensive backs coach Duane Akina...

Makes me feel Akina has established some good roots in the area. I hope he stays for a long time and we continue to become DB U in addition to all the other "U"s

Thus leading him to be called "Cam-alii" all week long. (I didn't make this up.)

Poor kid.  That's just so they have a QB to tackle during practice.  He may never walk again.

I don't think there'll be anything at NFL speed except for the crew working the broadcast. They'll be scrimmaging each other.

I just posted a video of Super Bowl XIX on a separate thread--in it, Mark Solatu played Joe Montana for the same sort of deal and it was no pads, more like flag football, but probably a really cool experience for high school kids.

My younger son is a Lancer.  He doesn't care much about football but he said the buzz on campus was pretty big and the varsity football players all have s***-eating grins.
