The 2022 Polynesian Bowl saw a great defensive performance by Team Makai, winning 17-3.
The team was coached by legendary Washington quarterback Doug Williams who was the first black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl. Williams went on to have a stellar and lengthy coaching career most notably at Grambling State.
That experience came in handy as Team Makai got two interceptions to seal the game. Travis Hunter (Colorado) had an interception at the goal line while Jaishawn Barham (Maryland) returned a pick for a touchdown.
Will there be more offense in store this time around for the 2023 Polynesian Bowl?
