Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — The most important battle in any football game is the battle in the trenches. And both Samoana and Tafuna will be giving it their all when they meet up this coming Saturday in the 2020-2021 ASHSAA Football Championship.

Pictured here is Samoana’s offensive line getting ready to snap the ball and make contact with the Vikings defensive line during their varsity playoff match up last Saturday morning at the Veterans Memorial Stadium.
