Roosevelt 21, Pac-Five 6

Myka Kukahiwa ran for touchdowns of 1, 10 and 20 yards while the Rough Riders defense limited Pac-Five to 58 yards of total offense at Aloha Stadium on Friday.

Kukahiwa finished with 43 yards on 12 carries against a tough Wolfpack run defense. For the game, Roosevelt managed 78 rushing yards on 30 attempts, but quarterback Sky Ogata tallied 214 yards on 16-for-19 passing. He was sacked four times by a persistent ’Pack defense.

Roosevelt had Pac-Five quarterback Chase Hedani on the run all night and sacked him seven times. Two of those sacks were by linebacker Kaeo Akana, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound sophomore.

Moanalua 42, Aiea 0

After a hopeful start for Na Alii (1-5, 1-3 OIA D-II), Na Menehune (5-0, 3-0) rallied to score 42 unanswered points to remain undefeated and send the home team off with a mercy-rule loss.

Moanalua’s offense proved too powerful in the first half, led by quarterback RJ Javar’s 267 total yards and four of the six touchdowns (two rushing, two passing). After his first pass attempt was picked off, Javar went on a streak of 14 straight completions, picking apart the Aiea secondary with quick reads and pinpoint accuracy. Wide receiver Rudy Kealohi benefited the most from Javar’s performance, hauling in eight passes for 100 yards and a score.

Moanalua proved to be just as dominant on the other side of the ball. Na Menehune secondary forced multiple turnovers and pass deflections to hold Aiea quarterback Kayson Castillo to 58 yards on six completions. Defensive back Javon Miller particularly stuck out, recording an interception along with multiple pass deflections on passes to Aiea’s primary receivers.

Bad omens continued to plague Aiea as its stadium scoreboard broke down by halftime with the score 35-0.

After exhibiting dominance on offense, Na Menehune finished their scoring onslaught with a pick-6 by Jesus Lopez.
