Castro helped end 15 years of Daggers’ football frustration with a fabulous second half Saturday against Ka’u.
OK, it wasn’t quite that long of a drought – Pahoa suspended BIIF football for 12 of those seasons – but the losses had been weighing on the Daggers the past two-plus seasons since they took up eight-man until Castro, a senior quarterback, ran for two touchdowns and compiled 299 yards of total offense in an 18-14 victory against the Trojans.
Pahoa had other standouts in Pahala, but “Justin is our leader,” coach Chris Midel said.
