In Week Zero, the Saturday slate of games concluded on the island of Oahu with the Hawaii Warriors powering past the Delaware State Hornets for a 35-14 victory.

In the face of high winds from Tropical Storm Hone, UH quarterback Brayden Schager was the driving force in the win, finishing with four total touchdowns – two through the air, and two on the ground. The Dallas-area native also completed 17-of-34 passes for 203 yards in this game.

Schager connected with Tamatoa Mokiao-Atimalala on an 11-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to open the scoring. At the end of that first quarter, Tylan Hines returned a punt forty yards for a touchdown. Hines’ return was the first punt return touchdown for Hawaii since 2012.

Marqui Adams got the Hornets on the board with a ten-yard touchdown run to cap a 77-yard drive. Hawaii led just 14-7 at the half.

In the second half, Delaware State opened the frame with another long touchdown drive, making an upset seem like a possibility with the score tied 14-14. However, the Hornets would not reach the endzone again.

Schager on the other hand, would lead three more touchdown drives for Hawaii to put the game away, including one that resulted in a 29-yard bomb to Dekel Crowdus.

Hawaii’s 2024 schedule continues on Saturday, August 31, at 7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT on CBS when UH hosts Big Ten newcomers UCLA.

CLAYMONT, Delaware (WPVI) — A man is in custody after a deadly shooting took place at an apartment complex in Claymont, Delaware on Friday.

It happened at Harbor House Apartments just before 10:30 a.m.

At the scene, police say they found a 35-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound.

The victim, identified by police as Devontre Taylor of Wilmington, was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

According to police, authorities later found the suspect after he was seen entering a building in the apartment complex.

The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Michael Toombs of Claymont, was detained at the building and transferred to police headquarters.

Toombs has since been charged with first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and other related offenses.

Investigators have not yet said what led to the deadly shooting.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the police at 302-395-2787.

Free COVID-19 tests will be available from the government once again starting at the end of September.

U.S. households will be able to order four free tests that expire at the end of the year from COVIDTests.gov. The tests will be able to detect current COVID-19 variants.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, the most prevalent variant going around nationally is the K.P. 3.1.1 variant of the virus, making up almost 37% of all new cases as of Aug. 17.

The website is currently closed, but the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response said on its website it sent out more than 900 million free tests while it was open.

In Delaware, there were over 480 new cases of COVID-19 from Aug. 11-17, according to data from the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services. The number of new cases has decreased over the past month after an increase from early to mid-July. 

The FDA approved new mRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer for emergency use on Aug. 22. These vaccines have a new formula for newer and more prevalent variants of the virus.

“Vaccination continues to be the cornerstone of COVID-19 prevention,” said Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research in a press release.

“These updated vaccines meet the agency’s rigorous, scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality. Given waning immunity of the population from previous exposure to the virus and from prior vaccination, we strongly encourage those who are eligible to consider receiving an updated COVID-19 vaccine to provide better protection against currently circulating variants.”
