Moanalua Varsity "vs" Damien "Pull Off The Game of The Night" on OC16 27-7
What a great game tonight between the Moanalua Na Menehune Varsity team and Damien Monarchs at Moanalua 27-7. Last week, the Moanalua Varsity started off the year with a pre-season game loss against Mililani. It left fans wondering what would happen tonight, but with faith and strong determination they proved that they are back and ready for the new 2011 football season. The Na Menehune will start their first OIA Red East game against Castle on August 26, 2011 at Castle High School. As for tonight's game, Dillion Turk, QB #15 passed (photo above) to Jay Laudato, SB #5 of Moanalua to start off the game with a TD. Moanalua would score two more touchdowns to make the final game score over Damien 27-7. Also, for those who didn't know, tonight's game was televised on OC16, which was a first in Moanalua football history. "Click here" to see more game scores.
Congratulations to coach Arnold Martinez, his coaches and the varsity team for a well played defensive and offensive game. Special recognition of the following players, SB #5 Jay Laudato, SB #2 Jon-Michael Sharsh and LB #44 Hardy Tautolo and to Damien coach Eddie Klaneski, his coaches and the varsity team and especially to QB#10 Alan Mohika.

There was a scare among the players and fans in the third quarter when Damien QB #10, Alan Mohika got hit on an earlier play and collapsed on the sideline. Both teams kneeled and prayed as medical personnel attended to him. Everyone watched in silence, and you could see the concern and emotion on the faces of his teammates. Mohika was eventually taken away by ambulance and it was decided that the teams would finish the game. Our prayers go out to Alan Mohika and his family.

Underdog Farrington Governors "vs" Kamehameha Warriors for the ILH Championship 1965 - 16-6 "WIN."
Today, at Kaiser High School, the Farrington JV (7-12) and Varsity (26-21) football teams played against the Kamehameha Warriors in celebration of Farrington High School's 75th Anniversary. It has been 46 years since the Governors, coached by Tom Kiyosaki played against the Warriors back in 1965 and took the ILH Championship on Thanksgiving Day over Kamehameha 16-6 at the Old Termite Stadium, as it was called back then. If you're not familiar with the location of this stadium, it was located at the corner of King and Isenberg Streets now called the Honolulu Stadium State Park. Tonight, at the Pre-Season kick off, the class of 1966 football team players celebrated tonight's game with a coin toss ceremony along with tonight's team. At the coin toss ceremony on the field were (above photo L/R) Walter Rodrigues (receiver), Stan Cadiente (quarterback), Joe Gomes, Cliff Mookini (blue shirt, back) and Ike Yamada (blue shirt, front).

The Farrington varsity team came through tonight by winning the game over the Warriors 26-21. The Warriors scored first and held the lead into the second quarter. The Governors were determined and tied the game in the second quarter, but the Warriors too came back again and took the lead, but the Governors struck back with a 80 yard kick off return by #23 Lavatai Setefano (Bottom photo) to take the lead, and hold the Warriors off through the 4th quarter down to the last 2 seconds. Congratulations to the Farrington Governors 2011 football team and the 1966 football team! For game information, "click here." For Varsity photos, "click here," for JV photo's, "click here"
