JPS Classic Week wrapped up Saturday in Honolulu and our football and volleyball teams head home tonight.

As John Raynar reports, while we are not bringing home the top trophies, our kids have benefited leaps and bounds from the exposure:

Both our 8th and 12th graders struggled in this year’s JPS Classic losing both of their games on Saturday.

American Samoa’s 8th graders fell to Hawaii East 48-0 in the first match up. The second game had our seniors facing off against Hawaii West.

JOS elementaryAmerican Samoa was able to at least score in that particular event, but only once.

Final score was 43 to 6. As we told you earlier in our coverage the silver lining is the exposure that American Samoa gets to particular recruiters.

In this case the University of Hawaii was inquiring about Ralph Taufasau of Samoana
