About holding a public intrasquad scrimmage on Kauai on April 10, JD said:
"This is a wonderful opportunity for our student-athletes to visit a Neighbor Island and meet the people of Kaua'. We have tremendous supporters on the Neighbor Islands, and any chance we get, we'd like to thank them in person, such as last year's football scrimmage (on Maui), and this week's men's volleyball match on Maui. We've said all along we're Hawai'i's team, and we're excited for this opportunity and for our fans on Kaua'i." (HA)
"The whole concept is to bring our teams to the neighbor islands. We believe we play for all of Hawaii." (HSB)
"We are grateful to Hawaiian Airlines for their continued support of UH Athletics throughout the years and Mayor Carvalho and his administration for making this event possible. This is a wonderful opportunity for our student-athletes to visit a neighbor island and meet the people of Kaua'i. We have tremendous supporters on the neighbor islands and any chance we get, we'd like to thank them in person such as last year's football scrimmage and this week's men's volleyball match on Maui. We've said all along that we're Hawai'i's team and we're excited for this opportunity and for our fans on Kaua'i." (UH)
HSB Note: "Jim Donovan and Bernard Carvalho played side by side on the Hawaii offensive line in 1982. They teamed up again yesterday to help arrange the Warriors' upcoming spring excursion. With Donovan now the UH athletic director and Carvalho the mayor of Kauai, the Warriors will make their first visit to the Garden Isle on April 10 for an intrasquad scrimmage."
HSB Note: "Donovan credited Hawaiian Airlines' sponsorship for making the Warriors' trip to Kauai financially feasible. Hawaiian Airlines will provide air transportation for the UH travel party of more than 150. The scrimmage will provide a homecoming for three players from Kauai—safety Kenny Estes, receiver Jett Jasper and defensive tackle Vaughn Meatoga."
UH Note: "Co-sponsor Hawaiian Airlines is providing air transportation for the more than 150 players, coaches, and support staff. The County of Kaua'i is also a co-sponsor and the host of the event, providing Vidinha Stadium facilities, along with ground transportation and lunch for the UH travel party."

Happy that the Warriors will be coming to Kauai, the Mayor of Kauai, Bernand Carvalho said:
"Mahalo to the UH football program for bringing this event to Kaua'i so our community can have an up close look at college football and really experience this exciting Warrior football team. We will welcome the support of businesses and community groups as we plan for this event to help us make this a great experience for all." (UH)
