HONOLULU — Water flows from the mountain to the ocean in the natural state of things.
So did the momentum in the seventh annual Polynesian Bowl.
Team Makai rallied from a 17-0 halftime deficit to shock team Mauka, 28-17, Friday night at Kūnuiākea Stadium.
Turnovers was the difference in the game as Makai scored two defensive scores in the second half in the win.
Future Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola completed 7 of 15 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown that went to Offensive MVP Mike Matthews.
