No. 4 Kahuku 46, No. 5 Campbell 0
——————
FINAL. Red Raiders advance to the OIA Open title game against Mililani next Saturday at Aloha Stadium.
Sailele Lafoga looks pumped up as he recovers a fumble for Campbell. Despite the score, looks like the kids are having fun out there.
The ball is popping out seemingly every other play as it is a mess out there on the field. Sabers punt.
Sophomore Kelsyn Tangaro-Kanoa breaks off a 99-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN for Kahuku on his first carry of the game. 46-0, KAH, 9:21, Q4.
Campbell punts to start the fourth quarter and the rain comes pouring down again.
————
Kenai Liua sacks Hipa to end the third quarter. Running clock has sped this game up.
Rain has stopped falling as Sabers start their next drive. Without Jonan Aina-Chaves and Titus Mokiao-Atimalala, it continues to be rough going but Zavier Ceruti with a 25-yard catch to put the ball out near the 40. Cambell gets Kahuku to jump on third down and it’s a first down into Kahuku territory. Hipa pressures by two defenders and gets out of a sack but then makes a poor throw off his back foot and Mana Fonoimoana-Vaomu goes and gets it and takes it to the house. 63-yard pick-six for Kahuku. 39-0, 3:59, Q3.
(10:08) Matagi goes slipping and sliding on the carry as this field is an absolute mess now. Kahuku pounding the rock, but a block-in-the-back penalty wipes out a TD run by Tiger Adolpho on the bootleg. Adam Requilman boots a 34-yard field goal in tough conditions. 32-0, KAH, 7:03, Q3.
Tamatoa Mokiao-Atimalala can’t catch the punt and Kingston Jones gets it for Kahuku.
(11:48 on clock) Kahuku gets the ball first on its 38. Mariteragi at QB. Rain is coming down hard to start the second half. Quickly third-and-long. Carson Murakami nearly comes up with a pick. Sabers force a three-and-out.

What happened to Tiger??
campbell qb gettin exposed without his money man
Only two good teams in the Open Division in the OIA, Mililani and Kahuku, everyone else should be in Division 1.
Campbell still in States.
Same as ILH ONLY 2 good teams in there open
Campbell needs a good recruiting class next year cause the JV didn’t look great this season.
I agree with someone above, Mililani and Kahuku the only OIA Open teams worthy. The rest belongs in D1. They should have the top two in OIA and ILH play for the open title.
Seeding
ILH Champ 1st Seed
OIA Champ 2nd Seed
OIA #2 3rd seed
OIA #3 4th seed
Brah?! 99yrds from a sophomore. Longest run in program history.
Future looks bright for this young Red Raiders. The JV looks pretty good too. Hopefully the staff can progress and get better. And then it would be Red Alert for the rest of the state.
ILH HAS 2 GREAT TEAMS, NOT GOOD TEAMS, BIG DIFFERENCE THERE. SHOULD BE TOP TWO TEAMS FROM THE OIA/ILH, FOR THE STATES, WITH THE ILH TEAMS IN OPPOSITE BRACKETS, CAMPBELL AND FARRINGTON SHOULD BE OUT.
Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
We should be playing “ sniff, sniff “ Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! “ sniff, sniff “ waaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! ( kicking rocks with head down) waaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!
I pay all that money!!! My kid should be in the state tournament!!! Entitled people don’t always get what they want.
@ ilh
Then just have Kahuku, St. Louis, Mililani and Punahou play 3x during the season and beat up on each other. Don’t think he coaches would go for that!
Farrington will beeet kam bowl then everybody gets into one uproar, especially ILH! Hahaha!
@Hau’ulaBoy
You’re right. Entitled people don’t always get what they want nor should they.
But it appears that teams will be in the state tournament because they are “entitled” to based on their league affiliation and NOT because of their season merits.
Just saying….
(addendum to prior comment/post)
Don’t get me wrong, if the 3 ILH teams lost 3-4 games each and were ranked #5-#7 in the state, then no ILH teams deserve or entitled to be in the state tournament.
Peanut Buttah Rolls-
Coach Carvalho is looking great about now, huh?
I think I even seen some people at windward mall wearing their Kahuku shirts again.
Yessuh Blessuh.
What are your thoughts against Milville?
Get chance?? I certainly think so. STeams is looking great, offense is eating up the clock and scoring, and the defense is stifling as ever.
Just make sure the coaches dance AFTER they win and not before.
Three teams in your league. Only two are good. Not great yet. Season not over. So mathematically two teams from a three team conference get in makes no sense. ILH get all the money all the players from the whole state. And you like eat your cake too. Maybe they should have forced the other teams with the same advantages as them to play in the same league.
If you say they can’t compete. Iolani, Damien, and PAC 5. Then that’s on them. Iolani won how many D2 titles? They should have been D1.
Peanut Buttah Rolls-
*Gasp*
I would have never pegged you as one of those that complained about recruiting, advantages, $$, blah, blah, blah. Especially with Hau’ula in your name.
You always struck me as a line up against whoever, whenever, however kind of person.
*Sigh*
Where have all the heroes gone?
To grab Peanut Buttah Rolls from Papa Ole’s……………..
I wasn’t crying. I was responding to a cry baby. I say let them have all that. I no care. But don’t come crying on here when it’s your own league that should step up. Not OIA. If ILH had all their teams in division one, then I would have no problem with ILH getting two in.
Iolani won how many titles in D2. But they complain they can’t compete. You know who has about same size players and numbers? Castle! And they only move to D1. Not D2. They always would play Kahuku and play tough when there was east and west.
I’m no hero. Just a Hau’ulaBoy stating his opinion. Sorry to let you down.
P.S. I no scared anybody. Haha.
Anywhere, anytime. Haha.
My dad loves Papa Ole’s. Me not so much. To long the wait. But my dad lucky. He gets special treatment. He no need wait. Haha. RR4L, Hau’ulaBoy born breed and true.
Who’s crying? I only read whining.
1) Clarified your “entitlement” issue.
2) Go back and read my 2 posts. There’s no
crying about anything.
3) This is the state championship made up of
4 teams. Who cares abt the # of OIA or
ILH are in the division. Don’t you want to
see the top 4 teams just battle it out?
4) When it comes to the state tournament, OIA
and ILH shouldn’t matter.
5) Should a 5-5 team deserve/entitled/or
whatever you want to call it be in this
state tournament?
6) Hopefully this can be corrected in the future.
If not, then you’re right, throw damien and
iolani in the open so we can see 2 OIA and
2 ILH in the state tournament. But this
could potentially still be flawed by not having
the 4 best teams in the state tournament.
True. And I never said you was crying. I was responding to the guy in all caps. Anyhow. It’s been fun. RR4L
Sole, I no drink wine. Only Vailima. But it was fun well it lasted. But I have to say peace out on this one.
10-4
