MATAAFA
SCOUTING REPORT: Too quick for larger linemen,
too strong for the rest. Mataafa was integral to
the Lunas defensive front, able to line up inside
and on the edge. They permitted just 31 points in
eight Maui Interscholastic League games. For the
season, Lahainaluna allowed just 80 rushing
yards (163 total offense) per game.

PADELLO
SCOUTING REPORT: The All-State Defensive Player
of the Year was an anomaly, and an absurd one at
that. Being a smaller defensive lineman was no
problemfor Padello, who spent entire offseasons
working on his craft, running hills and jumping
rope to gain more explosiveness. The result: a
whopping 26 sacks. His playmaking ability
changed opponents game plans. Punahou
switched its left guard and left tackle to deal with
Padello on the edge.
DID YOU KNOW: For the past four years, Padello got
a haircut one day after the season ended, then let
it growout.

in three of his first four games 26-139-2 against
Punahou, 19-156-3 against Kapolei and 22-117-2
against Waianae before sitting out with a rib in-
jury. Then he returned and hit the century mark
against Campbell, Leilehua (twice) and Kahuku.

well-liked guys on campus, coach
