Moanalua JV Na Menehune "Take On The Farrington JV Govs" (20-12)
What a big disappointment for the Farrington JV who were 5-1 in the OIA East Red Division. They played the Moanalua Na Menehune JV team on Saturday at the Roosevelt High School field. From the start, Moanalua took advantage of the errors by the Governors, and came out fired up to play. They were tough on defense as well as their offense, and their first TD came when #10 QB Max Fiatoa threw a bomb to #7 Sheldon Pagba who took it all the way down the makai sideline to score the first TD. Their replacement kicker (DB) #5 Aaron Kim (photo above) substituting for #88 Domonique Banta, fired away on his first kick to give Moanalua the lead 7-0. Aaron Kim said he found out three days before the game that he would be their kicker for this game. I asked him how he felt and he said "nervous, especially during the first attempt." In the second quarter, the Governor's QB #23 threw a pass to his receiver #87 which was a little high and #14 Branen Oliveros of the Na Menehue covering the pass play, intercepted the ball. Branen ran like there was no tomorrow down the mauka sideline for the 2nd TD of the game, and again #5 Aaron Kim drilled that extra point to continue the lead 14-0, with 7 minutes left on the game clock. In the third quarter, Na Menehune QB #10 threw another great pass to #3 Chad Aragon who had to jump high for it, but managed to run it in for another TD to make it 20-0 with 7 minutes and 29 seconds left on the clock. The final score was Moanalua JV over Farrington Governors JV 20-12. Awesome job to JV coach Kelvin Kusano, his coaching staff and the JV players for giving their QB the needed protection. Special recognition to #7 Sheldon Pagba, #14 Branen Oliveros, #3 Chad Aragon and their backup kicker #5 Aaron Kim. Congratulations to Farrington JV coach Roger Boyd for his first year coaching, to his assistant coaches and to his JV players, great effort. More action photos "click here".
