Ramos (KSK) 151 yd 1 TD   MILILANI — When it comes to crunch time, the best teams make big-time plays, and there was plenty of them to go around Saturday night in central Oahu. In the end, it was the third-ranked Trojans making the ultimate big play with defensive lineman Seth Ebesugawa notching a strip sack recovered by McKenna Alcover at their own 27 yard line with 22 seconds left in the game to preserve the victory for Mililani in outlasting No. 6 Kamehameha, 31-24, in an Oahu Interscholastic Association-Interscholastic League of Honolulu interleague Division I-Open battle at John Kauinana Stadium. The Warriors fought back from a 24-3 second half deficit and were marching on a 13-play, 57-yard drive toward a potential game-tying score before Ebesugawa's sack ended all of that on play No. 14. "We just made one more play than they did and we were fortunate to come out with the win," Mililani coach Rod York said. "But credit Kamehameha. They fought and we knew it was going to be a battle." After receiving the opening kickoff, it took the Trojans just four plays to drive 59 yards for a touchdown, capped off by senior quarterback Dillon Gabriel hitting Raysen Motoyama for a 5-yard pass. Their next possession resulted in the addition of three points from Liam McGehee's 29-yard field goal to take a 10-0 lead into the start of the second quarter. Less than a minute later, Gabriel threaded the needle on an 8-yard pass to Mystic Sampaga to make it a 17-0 game that seemingly was headed toward a lopsided score. Kamehameha got on the scoreboard midway through the period on a 41-yard field goal from Preston Rezentes. The ensuing kickoff was taken by Mililani's Reichel Vegas but Chanston Kaleikoa ripped the ball away and Kailaau Piena got the recovery at the Trojans 8 yard line. However, a false start penalty and back-to-back sacks sent the Warriors backwards and Rezentes' 32-yard field goal attempt was unsuccessful. On the Trojans' first offensive play of the second half, Gabriel rolled left and slung a 42-yard dart to Ryan Chang to extend the lead to 24-3. In a 21-7 win over Kapolei a week ago, Kamehameha senior Christmas Togiai split time behind center with two other QBs, but he was the lone thrower against the Trojans and responded with a 14-yard score to running back Reino Bush to cut into the deficit. At the top of the fourth quarter, Togiai tried to cap a near six-minute drive by taking it himself but lost the ball just short of the goal line. Warriors receiver Skyler Ramos quickly pounced on the ball for the score. Ramos also served as the PAT kick holder but the snap was low, keeping it at an 8-point game. Just over two minutes later, Ramos took a pass over the middle from Togiai and housed it from 40 yards out. On the 2-point conversion attempt, linebacker Hoku Arias took the snap in the backfield and hit a jump pass over the top to a wide open Ezra Evaimalo to make it 24-all with 8:46 remaining. "We just shot ourselves in the foot with all the penalties. We made some big mistakes. We gave them more opportunities than we needed to but credit Kamehameha. They fought and we knew it was going to be a battle," York said. "The boys were able to play for each other by biting down when the time was getting close. Proud of our guys." Six plays later, Mililani responded with another long hook-up on Gabriel's 43-yard strike to Maka Hill to re-gain the lead for what would eventually be the final score. Gabriel finished 18-of-34 passing for 303 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. "Going into the game we knew what we had to attack. We did attack at some times, but I feel like we went off the gas pedal. We got to be able to keep driving through," said Gabriel, who's also the reigning ScoringLive Top Performer of the Week. Kamehameha's final drive started on its own 28 with 4:42 left when heavy rainfall began to come down. On the play that preceded Mililani's game-sealing sack, Togiai found a wide open Brock Ai in the end zone but the pass bounced off his facemask and fell incomplete. "I think part of the reason Kamehameha was scoring was because we left them on the field," said Gabriel, whose team also racked up 193 yards on 18 penalties (Kamehameha had 14 for 134 yards). "We were three and out more times than I ever played in. "I'm disappointed in our play out there but at the same time we got the 'W' which is the main thing. But truly we need to go back to the drawing board and work out the kinks because that was unacceptable," he continued. Warriors fell to 1-1 both overall and in the ILH standings. They'll have a two-week break before traveling to Ewa Beach Sept. 7 to take on Campbell. Trojans stay 1-0 in the OIA standings but improve to 3-0 overall. Next week, they're back at home to host two-time defending Division I-Open state champion Saint Louis.  

Football No. 6 Kamehameha overtakes No. 7 Kapolei   Michael Lasquero | ScoringLive August 11, 2018, 7:27am      Kamehameha LB Hoku Arias prepares to sack Kapolei QB Noa Bailey in an interleague contest at Aloha Stadium on Friday. Jim Lebeau | SL  Purchase image1 of 31     Fri, Aug 10, 2018 @ Aloha Stadium [ 5:00 pm ]   Kapolei 7 Kamehameha 21 Final 1 2 3 4 OT   KAP (1-1-0) 0 0 7 0 - 7 KSK (1-0-0) 0 7 0 14 - 21 Pass: N. Bailey (KAP) 141 yd 1 TD  Rush: A. Serrao (KSK) 87 yd 0 TD  Rec: I. Stokes (KAP) 110 yd 1 TD HALAWA — Hoku Arias recorded three sacks and ran in the go-ahead touchdown to help No. 6 Kamehameha slip past No. 7 Kapolei, 21-7, at Hawaiian Tel FCU Field at Aloha Stadium Friday night. The Warriors outgained the Hurricanes, 309 to 183, to improve to 1-0 after the first game of the historic OIA-ILH interleague agreement. The interleague matchups count towards the ILH regular season standings but does not count toward the OIA standings, according to OIA football coordinator Harold Tanaka. The contest was also the first time the two teams met on the field in 10 years. Regardless, Arias said the Warriors' approach is still the same whether its against an OIA or an ILH opponent. "We just enjoy playing," said Arias. "It doesn't matter who's across from us, it doesn't matter where we are, we just want to play, that's it." It was a total team effort for Kamehameha. With the offense struggling to move the ball in the first half, defense kept the Warriors in it with seven total sacks and two sacks.     Kamehameha eventually got things going in the second quarter with a 21-yard run play by Alec Serrao and a 16-yard sweep by Reino Bush. The two big run plays set-up Tanuvasa Moe's 17-yard TD pass to a diving Skyler Ramoswith 5:31 left to play in the first half. "To me the biggest part of this game was everyone coming together, believing in each other," said Arias. "Our offense was struggling a little bit, (but) we got behind them. They got our backs, we got their backs and that's how we pulled through." On the other side of the ball, the Hurricanes (1-1 overall) was dealt a big blow early on when starting quarterback Christian Rapis left the game with an injury. Kapolei coach Darren Hernandez said that it was hip injury and estimated that it would keep Rapis out for eight weeks. Backup Noa Bailey came into the game at the 6:08 mark of the first quarter and grew into the role as the contest went on after starting the game with three incompletions. Bailey, who also got called for three delay-of-game penalties, bounced back in the third quarter with a 52-yard TD pass to Ikari Stokes to tie the game at 7-all within the first four minutes of the second half. "Next man up, and our next quarterback Noa Bailey, only a sophomore, he showed up and played well," said Hernandez. "We're excited about our future." The two teams were at a stalemate until the fourth quarter when Kamehameha was able to convert on a third-and-24 situation near midfield. QB Christmas Togiai, the third Warrior to take snaps behind center, was flushed out of the pocket and threw a 46-yard completion down the right sideline on the run to Edward Correa to set up Arias' go-ahead TD run. After the ensuing kickoff, Bailey's next pass was tipped by a Kapolei receiver before falling into the hands of Kamehameha's Kalau Morikawa. The Warriors ran a double reverse for Ramos after the turnover before Laakea Ane ran in a 1-yard TD for the final score of the game. "We made some mistakes," said Hernandez. "We can play better than that." Arias said that he was pleased with the Warriors' effort through all four quarters. "I like our energy," said Arias. "We came out with a ton of energy (and) we didn't let it slip. We kept that consistent. I think that was big key for the game too."   Reach Michael Lasquero at michael@scoringlive.com.
