Titans to play for Pop Warner title

The Kapolei Titans became the first team from Oahu to advance to the Pop Warner Pee Wee Division II Super Bowl Championship when they defeated the College Station Raiders of Texas in the semifinals, 38-14, on Tuesday.

The Titans will play for the national title Friday against the Jensen Beach (Fla.) Falcons at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. (5:30 a.m. Hawaii time, ESPN3).

Kapolei was third in the Oahu Pop Warner season before advancing through the playoffs. The team defeated the Puna Panthers in Kailua-Kona to earn the state championship.

On Saturday, the Titans defeated Mount Hope (R.I.) 16-0 in a quarterfinal contest.

The only other Hawaii team to make it to the national championship was the Lihue Patriots in 2005, and they won the title.
