McKinley JV football coach will lead varsity
Advertiser Staff
William Moeava has been promoted from head junior varsity to head varsity football coach at McKinley High School, athletic director Neal Takamori announced yesterday.
Moeava, a 1993 McKinley graduate, replaces David Tanuvasa, who resigned after last season with the most victories of any football coach in McKinley history. Tanuvasa, a former University of Hawai'i player, led McKinley to a 59-41-1 record in 10 years.
The Tigers were 9-5 last season and lost to Castle, 27-21, in triple overtime in the semifinals of the state tournament.
Moeava, 27, will be one of the state's youngest head coaches. He has been head JV coach at McKinley for the past three years and was assistant JV coach for three years.
He has been an educational assistant at McKinley for four years, mainly dealing with student detention, he said.
"Everything will stay the same," Moeava said, "same (spread) offense, just like the university, same defense. Basically the same staff. Same philosophy. We are going to throw the hell out of the ball."
