Pop Warner's goal is to instill lifelong values of teamwork and dedication, according to Sione Olevao, vice president of the Molokai League.

"Our young players were ecstatic to wear new uniforms and play with new equipment," he said. "Such a token of kindheartedness has made this team even stronger and more unified than before."
