Vavae Malepeai chats after rushing for 199 yards and four TDs in Mililani’s 41-14 win over No. 3 Farrington at John Kauinana Stadium. No. 2 Mililani improved to 6-0 in OIA Blue play (7-0 overall).
A three-play sequence to end the first half of the Mililani-Farrington football game on Saturday spelled bad news for both teams. In the end, Mililani defensive back Ramsey Tacadena suffered an injured elbow moments after intercepting a pass. Farrington quarterback Montana Liana, ejected for a late hit on Tacadena, faces a one-game suspension. “(Officials) made the right call. It was a hit on a defenseless player,” said OIA chief official Jim Beavers, who saw the game video later. Liana’s frustration […]
Six weeks into the regular-season slate, this much is clear: the Mililani Trojans punish those who are imperfect. Against another strong defensive unit, Mililani rolled up 580 total yards: 302 rushing yards on 38 carries, and 278 by air. Farrington is the latest example of how the state’s No. 2- ranked team can frustrate and pacify so many opponents. Saturday’s 41-14 win by the men of Troy — lifting Mililani to 6-0 in OIA Blue play (7-0 overall) and sinking […]
First quarter A calculated risk by York on the opening series pays off. Milton came through with a first-down pass on fourth-and-6, and then hit Timoteo for a 42-yard touchdown strike to give the Trojans a 6-0 lead. Farrington wasted no time. On the next play from scrimmage, Mamiya lined up at tailback, went in motion to the slot and reeled in a quick slant pass for an 80-yard touchdown. Sasaoka’s PAT kick gave the Govs a 7-6 lead with […]
Vavae Malepeai rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries for the Trojans. The Sabers led 28-22 in the third quarter after Terell Johnson (14 carries, 143 yards) scored his second long TD. Then, the Trojans went on a 35-point run, spoiling Campbell’s homecoming night.
Mililani senior defensive tackle Rex Manu confirmed Monday that he is not committed to any school at this point. He was once orally committed to Stanford, but recently de-committed from the Cardinal. There was recent speculation that Manu conmitted to Oregon, but he said that is not the case after Monday’s practice. “I was watching a game with an Oregon hat on (the Ducks’ win over Michigan State on Sept. 5, during a recruiting visit) and somebody took pictures of […]
Rod York was a defensive lineman at UH. He’s now the engineer of a offense that scores 53 points per game. That’s what being an observant, logical and intuitive student of the game can do. For two quarters, his Mililani Trojans were stifled. Sure, they had 15 points on the scoreboard at James Campbell High School. But if not for one of Tielu Mamea’s three interceptions, which led to a Trojans touchdown shortly before halftime, the men of Troy could […]
Game time! Mililani has won the last four meetings and nine of the last 10. Winner remains unbeaten in the OIA Blue. Loser falls behind. The third unbeaten team, Farrington, has a bye this weekend. First quarter A shanked 17-yard punt sets up a 40-yard scoring drive for Campbell. Austin May scores on a 1-yard blast. CAM 7, MIL 0, 6:09. Second quarter Ezra Savea throws an INT, Mililani returns it to the Campbell 37, and they no-huddle to the […]
