Kahuku's Tyrone Brown stiff-arms Kaiser's Austin Ortega.

Kawehena Johnson intercepted a pass on the first play from scrimmage and Tyrone Brown and Aofaga Wily combined for 207 rushing yards in No. 1 Kahuku’s 39-0 win over host Kaiser last night in an Oahu Interscholastic Association Red East game.

The Red Raiders, now 2-0 in league play, cruised to their fourth straight win to open the season and looked just as efficient as they did a week ago in a 49-27 victory over then-No. 2 Saint Louis.

“We started off strong, defensive gave us a turnover right off the bat,” coach Reggie Torres said. “We worked on staying grounded all week and just like Saint Louis was done, Kaiser is done after tonight and tomorrow we move on to the next game.”

Kahuku rolled up touchdowns on its first four possessions. Johnson’s interception set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Fonoivasa Mataafa and Punga Vea hauled in Evan Moe’s first pass of the night for a 10-yard score to give the Red Raiders a 12-0 lead.

Moe hit Shairone Thompson for a 36-yard touchdown and Trayson Medeiros had a 34-yard interception return for a score to put Kahuku up 26-0.

Brown rushed for 134 yards on 11 carries and Wily had seven carries for 73 yards and two touchdowns.
