over shot, they were still responding
with waving the shaka or overall good
sportsmanship. Day two belonged to the
Red team as they closed in on Blue team

dodge paintballs flying past you at what you
hope is 280 f.p.s. or less. There are so many
that sacrifice their time and chance to play
to make these games possible and Hawaiian
Legend II is no different.
