HONOLULU – The 2025 edition of the Polynesian Bowl was the first to have underclassmen as part of the festivities, and a number of the 2026 recruits on hand had standout performances on Friday night at Kamehameha High School on O’ahu.
It always has the makings for a good event when the top players show up and make their presence felt. Friday night’s matchup between Team Makai and Team Mauka certainly became a showcase for some of the top prospects in the current and upcoming classes with several top recruits showing why they rank as high as they do.
The game itself came down the wire with a highlight play sealing the 28-21 victory late in the fourth quarter for Team Makai.

1. WR Dakorien Moore
He nearly came away from a celebration with Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter with an injury, but the five-star Oregon signee was a cut above during Friday’s game.
Moore looked the part of the No. 1 receiver throughout the week, and he backed that up with his one-handed leaping touchdown grab late in the game that ultimately sealed the victory for Team Makai. The 75-yard play featured just as impressive of a run after the catch as the one-handed grab, and it helped cement Moore as one of the game MVPs.
