It was someone from Euless, Texas. Could it be L.T. Tuipulotu (99) and his teammate Andrew Eteaki (66, at left) performing the pre-game haka at Allen Eagle Stadium? Trinity High School in Euless, Texas, had the nation's top-ranked football team in 10/08, according to Sports Illustrated. But the Trinity Trojans are different because the backbone of this team, its offensive and defensive heart and soul, is Tongan — many of the players' families are from Tonga, the island nation southeast of Fiji. Haka is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.
