(3:58) Roosevelt ball on its 48. Kaiser is going to be whistled for pass interference but the bigger deal is Ogata is down after taking a shot from the blitzing end. A bunch of Rough Riders come out to greet him as he gets up but he has to be helped off by two teammates. Ball on the Kaiser 34 after the penalty. Junior Kolea Pa-Macalino in at QB. Third-and-1 at the 25. Timeout Roosevelt. Kekahuna out of the Power I and he races outside for 8 yards and a first down.

(9:10) Kaiser ball on its 38 with Easton Yoshino at QB. Yoshino to Jesse Storde for 12 yards on third-and-10 for a first down at midfield. LB Keneke Gusman with a 7-yard sack of Yoshino on first down and a false start on Kaiser, already the third penalty on the Cougars. Nearly an unreal catch and throw from Yoshino to Falls but tight coverage by Jason Hur forces a punt.
(12:00) Even after a penalty on the kickoff to force a re-kick 5 yards back, Kyler Halvorsen boots it into the end zone. Roosevelt on the 20.

Kaiser roster
Roosevelt roster
I predict a win by Roosevelt but, barely. I think the team to beat in DII is in fact Kaiser and they look like when the O’ahu playoffs are over they, Kaiser will be the OIA champions.
Roosevelt still gets no Respect! Last year’s OIA D2 Champions are FOR REAL! Coach Kui and his assistants have done more good for their FB program than any previous Coaching staff. Theses kids have made such huge gains and consistently try to improve themselves each week. Take this team seriously Roosevelt will REPEAT as OIA D2 Champions!
