It’s only fitting that the Farrington Governors are making history in an election year.

Abraham “Amo” Silva rushed for 157 yards and three touchdowns and Tyler Taumua added 90 yards as No. 3 Farrington outlasted No. 5 Saint Louis 39-33 Thursday night at Aloha Stadium.

It was Farrington’s first win over Saint Louis since 1968, when Randy Cadiente was quarterback of the Govs. Thursday’s signal-caller, sophomore Montana Liana, made just his second start and was solid again with three touchdown passes and only one turnover.

Saint Louis was in shock mode in more ways than one. Quarterback Kawai Mook-Garcia sat out the game for non-football related disciplinary action.

“It’s personal time off,” first-year Crusaders head coach Matt Wright said. “It was difficult chemistry for a first game. We had a slow start with our young guys, but Farrington is a great team. They come right at you and it was a shock to our system, their size and speed. Once we got acclimated, we finished the game the way we wanted to start it.”

Saint Louis committed six turnovers and had two punts blocked — both by Farrington’s Manly Williams.

“And we only lost by six points,” Wright said. “We shot ourselves in the foot.”

Silva was, as he was against Waianae last week, both explosive inside and elusive outside as Farrington improved to 2-0 in nonconference play.

“Saint Louis is a really good team. They put eight guys in the box, but that’s a mistake,” the 212-pound senior said. “We work against it in practice every day. I trust my offensive line and the man upstairs.”
