St. John Bosco coach Jason Nigro said Monday that he learned via The X that starting quarterback Matai Fuiafa has transferred to Hawaii. Voiava started with the team on Friday against Santa Margarita after missing the previous match due to injury. Nigro said he hasn’t heard from the family since Friday night. His father, Rob, was an assistant coach with the Braves.
In one of the most interesting mid-season transfers you’ll see, former St. John Bosco Bellflower (Calif.) starter Matai Fuiafa has moved to Hawaii and signed with Kahuku, and is eligible immediately and could play as soon as the end of the season.

With Fuiava apparently transferring to Kahuku High, according to Greg Biggins of 247Sports, freshman Koa Malau’ulu will take over as the starting center fielder for the undefeated Braves (7-0). He started two weeks ago against Orange Lutheran and rallied the team in the second half, completing 20 of 22 passes in the second half in a 28-24 win.
St. John Bosco is scheduled to play Servite on Friday night at SoFi Stadium.
