Punahou passing pair too much for Pac-Five

Larry Tuileta hooked up with Kanawai Noa for a 69-yard touchdown pass on Punahou’s first play from scrimmage, and the Buffanblu cruised from there to beat the Pac-Five Wolfpack 42-7 Friday at Aloha Stadium.

Tuileta hit Noa three times for scores in the first half, and threw for four touchdowns overall.

“They work hard together,” Punahou coach Kale Ane said. “They have good chemistry and get better every time out. It depends on our running game. We really have to establish our running game and I think Pac-Five probably knew it and tried to shut it down.”

Ryan Tuiasoa handled that part of the game for the Buffanblu, rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. Tuileta threw for 192 yards, 155 of them to Noa, who had half of his team’s receptions.
