Moanalua High School Varsity Football team took on Kalaheo High School on Friday, October 23, 2009 and what a game it was. Moanalua was the first to score, with Kalaheo taking the lead at half time 14-7. In the second half,neither team would score until 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter, when Moanalua quarterback Adam Francisco, #7 threw a pass to receiver Essaye Villaver, #10 for a touchdown to tie the game 14-14 with 2:32 left on the clock. It was "chicken skin" all the way. Then with 52 seconds remaining on the clock, Moanalua held Kalaheo back as the game went into overtime. In overtime, Moanalua was the first to score bringing them to 21-14, and then it was Kalaheo's turn to try and score. Kalaheo ran in for a touchdown, but their kick for the extra point was blocked, because the entire Moanalua defensive line put up a wall. Congratulations to Moanalua, final score 21-20. The Moanalua Varsity team ended their season, 8-0 in the OIA White Division putting them in the playoffs. With this win, they advance to the Championship on November 6, 2009 at the Aloha Stadium. As Coach Martinez (photo above w/Jordan Tanioka) quoted, "all things are possible for those who believe."
