Farrington falls short in California

Farrington couldn’t score from the 7-yard line in the final two minutes and lost 24-20 to Carson (Calif.) in the Polynesian Football Classic on Saturday in Henderson, Nev.

In the first of three games at Liberty High School, the Governors built a 20-10 lead but were shut out in the second half to drop to 1-4 overall.

Freshman Uiolevanuseaulaoleolo Ale threw three touchdown passes for the Colts (1-3), who earned their first win of the season. Carson lost to Kamehameha 17-6 two weeks ago at home.

Quarterback Chris Afe threw for 156 yards and scored on a 2-yard run and Raymond Millare added two touchdown runs for the Govs.

Selau Kalani, who finished with 113 receiving yards on four receptions, took a screen pass 63 yards to set up Farrington’s first score for a 7-3 lead.

Trailing 24-20, Farrington had first-and-goal at the Carson 7 with 1:44 to go, but was whistled for an illegal-shift penalty. Afe’s last three passes all fell incomplete and Carson took a knee to run out the clock.
