What a break for the Moanalua Varsity Football team. After losing their last three games and thinking they were out of the playoffs, call it what you like, but what a "break" for the Na Menehune who will be playing the Radford Rams on Friday, October 15, 2010 at Radford High School at 7:30 pm. This opportunity comes from the game they played against Roosevelt on October 1, 2010 which they lost 18-0. After this game, it was learned that Roosevelt had an ineligible player. Hopefully, they will take advantage of this second chance and come off with a win to continue on to the playoffs, especially for the 42 seniors. It's going to be a great game and a great challenge for the Moanalua football team. Just to sum up tonight's game, what a "heartbreak" for the Na Menehune Varsity football team, and for the 42 seniors who played their last game tonight. The Rams took the lead 14-0, but with 57 seconds left in the first half, the Rams fumbled the ball and Moanalua #30 Darren Apo (photo above) took it into the end zone for a TD and a fake field goal passed to #43 Martin Taulele added two points ending the half 8-14. In the third quarter, the Na Menehune came back fired up with two interceptions and scored twice to take the lead 22-14. The Moanalua crowd was on a high, but just when you thought the Na Menehune would come through, Radford pulled out their hidden playbook and came back from behind to take the game 29-22. Congratulations to Coach Arnold Martinez, his coaches and especially to #20 Charles Spencer, #99 Jordan Tanioka, #4 Joel Talaro and the rest of team for a well played game and to #41 Kahanu Puulei-Auld, #20 Zarin Augus, #7 Sheldon Pagba, #3 Chad Aragon and #5 Aaron Kim of the Moanalua JV over Waianae 30-14. Good luck to the Moanalua JV who will be playing Campbell at Campbell Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 2:00 pm and to the Varsity Radford Rams in their next game against Kahuku.
