Polynesian players bring passion, power

In Super Bowl XLVII, there is a fascinating, under-the-radar story line of family lineage, fierce rivalry and brotherhood that traces to the tiny Pacific Islands and their centuries-old heritages.

As the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens are expected to deliver an extremely physical game, it's fitting that three Tongans and two Samoans will battle along the line of scrimmage.

The Ravens' humongous Tongan defensive linemen Haloti Ngata and Ma'ake Kemoeatu will channel their warrior spirit in attacking Samoan 49ers guard Mike Iupati and Tongan backup fullback Will Tukuafu.

49ers nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga of American Samoa will be the other Polynesian suiting up Sunday.

These five wide bodies are the crest of a coming wave of Polynesians swelling among the college ranks, particularly in the Pac-12 and Mountain West conferences.

And why not? Ngata stands 6-4, 340 pounds. Kemoeatu is 6-5, 345.

This past week my football team played in the championship vs Ewa sabers. The team we played against had a lot of poly's just like the Laie Park Red Raiders. This past week the Red Raiders beat Ewa 12-6. Years before Ewa kept beating us. But this year Laie showed them up.

I have played football with a lot of poly's. Everyone on my football team was either Tongan or Samoan. It was a fun experience to play with a lot of Polynesian's on your team.

Haloti Ngata is an American football defensive end and nose tackle for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. He played college football for the University of Oregon and earned All-American honors. Haloti ngata got drafted by the ravens in the year of 2006. Haloti Ngata is a Tongan football player. He is one of the best defensive tackle. I look up to Haloti Ngata.

I'm a Polynesian football player. I like to watch football and play football.
