The Fountain Fort Carson football team is led by two seniors who are fueled by Polynesian pride

Tai Favve and Tavian Tuli are all about family, "My relationship with Tai, it's like my cousin or my brother, we really pretty much do everything together," says Fountain Fort Carson, quarterback Tavian Tuli.

"That's my day one right there. You know we've been homies forever, says Fountain Fort Carson, linebacker Tai Faave. That's basically family to me. We always hang out. Throughout this whole summer we actually spent it together." Tai and Tavian are close friends and one of the things they have in common is that they are filled with Polynesian Pride, "The thing my family expects from me. Like being a good person. In our culture our last name is a really big thing cuz it represents my family and all the Polynesian culture and all that," says Tuli "It's basically just learning discipline at a young age. It's kind of yes sir, no sir. Like me, my mom always gets mad at me to say yes. Yeah is inappropriate to say to adults. You always treat your elders with respect," says Faave.

You can't miss Tai and Tavian on the field not only because they are outstanding football players but they also have that beautiful flowing mane pouring out of their helmets, "Every since I was little always had long hair. I'd get it a lot when I was little is he a girl or whatever but it's whatever I still like having long hair," says Tuli. "The reason why I actually grew my hair out cuz my step dad. When I was younger I used to just buzz cut my stuff. I really didn't like having long hair but then I met him and like he always played with long hair and the flow would just crazy in the helmet and so I wanted to grown out my own and now people know me for my hair," says Faave.
