So this happened …

It’s Sunday, let’s review what happened the past week …

Like most Hawaii-raised kids a decade ago, Stephen Bernal-Wendt followed a certain rock-star quarterback.

“I used to go to the games when June Jones was coaching and Colt Brennan was playing,” Bernal-Wendt recalled. “It made me enjoy Hawaii football.”

Bernal-Wendt, who will join the Warriors as a walk-on offensive lineman this month, counts Kelly McGill as a family friend. McGill was the center on the the Warriors’ 1992 team that went 11-2 and won the Holiday Bowl. McGill is a successful businessman who is heavily involved in rugby.

Bernal-Wendt has deep ties to both rugby and football. He began playing football when he was 8. Two years later, he started competing in rugby. His grandfather, Ma‘afu Wendt, is president of the Hawaii Rugby Union.

Bernal-Wendt was a three-year letterman at Kaiser High when he decided to follow his grandfather to Los Angeles last year. Wendt was offered a business opportunity there. “It was an experience thing,” Bernal-Wendt of his decision to spend his senior year at Salesian High. They returned to Hawaii this year.

Bernal-Went competed at center, guard and nose guard at Salesian. He said he likely will compete on the offensive line at UH.

This is strength/conditioning coordinator Bubba Reynolds’ version of flag football/capture the flag:

Quarterback Dru Brown and several teammates worked the Youth Impact Program the past two weeks. Not only did the Warriors lead drills and offer advice, they also worked the “cafeteria” line.

You know the fans who show up early to watch Aaron Judge take batting practice? There also was a nice gathering of YIP students watching the Warriors catch footballs from the JUGS machine.

If scouting services rated football players/comedians, safety Tumua Tuinei would get 5 stars. Tuinei stole the show with a hilarious stand-up routine Friday at Hawaiian Brian’s.
