The talk around town was the Kahuku Varsity football team and their size. But it wasn't their size, nor did they "blow out" the Moanalua football team at Kahuku High School last night at Kahuku's Homecoming and celebration of their 40th Reunion, Class of 1971.To start off the game, Kahuku's DB #10, Mason Kualii-Moe intercepted Moanalua QB #15, Dillion Turk's pass to WR #8 Marciano Tauvela with 11:51 on the clock in the first quarter.
A few plays later, Kahuku QB #7 Kawehena Johnson scored their first TD and at the end of the first half, led 7-0. In the third quarter with 1:16 left on the clock, Moanalua came back with a surprise from QB #15 Dillion Turk handing off to SB #1 Christian Akana who threw a pass to SB #2 John Michael Sharsh for a TD, and kicker #33 Lee Arakawa drove it high and dead center for the extra point to tie the game 7-7. Throughout the game, both sides had their share of penalties, but time was a factor for the Na Menehue in the end. The final score was 14-7 in favor of Kahuku, who went on to celebrate a happy Red Raider Homecoming.
The Na Menehune challenged Kahuku all night, with great defense from start to finish by both teams. Congratulations to the Kahuku and Moanalua football teams, their coaches and players, and especially to the Kahuku Class of 1971 who were present. Congratulations also to the Kahuku JV team who won 22-20 over the Moanalua JV team. The Moanalua JV, like the Varsity put up a great defense and gave Kahuku a "run for their money." Special thanks to Kahuku Principal, Donna Lindsey and Vice Principal-Athletic Director, Pat Macadangdang for their hospitality. For more information "click here."
