Versatile Bukoski helped Crusaders big time




Of the 103 combined plays from scrimmage in Saint Louis' 42-7 win against Punahou Friday night, Duke Bukoski was involved with four of them.

But they were big ones.

The Crusaders' senior wide receiver caught three passes for 134 yards (44.67 yards per catch), including an 80-yard TD. He also was in on two plays on defense, returning an interception 64 yards to set up a Saint Louis TD.

To counter some of Punahou's height at receivers, Saint Louis coach Darnell Arceneaux used the 6-foot-2 Bukoski at defensive back.

"Duke came up with a great pick," Arceneaux said. "It kind of shows Duke's versatility. Duke is a big-time Division I product. He's been playing like it every week."

Bukoski leads the Interscholastic League of Honolulu with 517 receiving yards and seven TDs from 21 receptions. He is second in the state with 758 yards and leads with 10 TD catches.

Bukoski and his Crusaders have a bye this week before closing out the regular season against Kamehameha in two weeks. With Saint Louis' win against Punahou, the Crusaders have clinched the league's Division I title and state tournament berth.
