#HUSDSportsCenter Yet another Alumni update as former OHHS Bulldog football teammates play against each other tonight in the "Bucked Up LA Bowl". Former Bulldog Paki Finau (Washington) goes head-to-head with his former high school teammate Daylon Metoyer (Boise State) at the 🏟️ SoFi Stadium at ⏰ 5 PM on 📺 ABC7! I guess HUSD will just have to cheer for both teams tonight. Go HUSD, go Huskies and go Broncos!
