With three games left in the season, the Honolulu Hahalua find themselves in sixth place in their conference at 4-9, a record that is below the expectations for themselves they brought into the year. In the final stretch of conference play, they'll play two home games against the New Orleans Second Line and New York Silverbacks as well as a road game against the 3-10 Orange County Otters. While these games will have little to no impact on the Hahalua's postseason hopes, they're all worthy of being primetime games for the Honolulu faithful. A win at home over ASFC-leading New Orleans would be a huge momentum boost to carry into next season, a win over New York would show that the team belongs closer to the middle tier of the conference than in the basement, and a victory over Orange County would likely cement their season standings as not the worst team in the conference. While the rest of the world may have their eyes on more consequential games among contenders, the Hahalua will continue to keep their eyes on what's right in front of them.
