FOOTBALL

Ex-Warrior Fuata signs with Jets: Former Hawai'i offensive lineman Lui Fuata signed a contract with the New York Jets yesterday.

Fuata, a 6-2, 313-pound center/guard was undrafted out of Hawai'i. He was an All-WAC selection last season and appeared in the East West Shrine all-star game.

Terms of the contract were not released.

Fuata, who is recovering from a left-knee injury, earlier said the Jets will place him on the physically-unable-to-perform list, meaning he would draw a salary and rehabilitate but likely not play this season.

WOMEN'S FOOTBALL

Rally for Blast: In a last ditch effort to save its Women's Professional Football League season, the Pacific Blast will be selling $10 game tickets at the Blast Booth at the Aloha Stadium swap meet today, according to Blast owner Nicole Wylie.

The Blast is the only women's professional football team in Hawai'i and is playing its first season in the WPFL.

The tickets will be valid for any Blast regular season game, regardless of venue, Wylie said. Tickets can also be purchased by calling (808) 286-5150.

On Tuesday, Wylie said the team would need to secure at least $80,000 by week's end to ensure the team's survival. The 10-game season starts on Aug. 3.

Wylie this week withdrew her plans to play at Aloha Stadium and is looking at other fields.
