Moanalua 2012 Football Preseason Game with Mililani at Mililani Newly Renovated Football Field (21-31)


Today is the start of a new season for the 2012 Moanalua football team in their preseason game against Mililani at Mililani's newly renovated Kauinana Stadium football field. Last year, Mililani finished 4-6, and 4th in the OIA West Red Division.  Moanalua end their season 5-5 in the OIA East Red Division. This afternoon the Moanalua JV team took on the JV Trojans who dominated the game 35-6. I was told the Moanalua JV team were mostly freshman and sophomores because many of their players from military families left the school.  It was a good experience for the Moanalua team in their first preseason game.  I can see them coming back strong in the regular season games.


As for the Varsity game, Moanalua kicked off to Mililani who fumbled the ball and was recovered by Moanalua. Moanalua put up a great defense ending with a scoreless 1st quarter.  Mililani followed with several TDs bringing the score to 24-0 at the end of the 2nd quarter.  After the half-time, Moanalua came back with RB #4 Ishmil Scott (photo above) running along the outside to take it in for 6 points to end the 3rd quarter.  At the start of the 4th quarter, Moanalua WR #3 Donald Lambert scored a TD with 11:25 left in the 4th, but Mililani QB #15 Jarin Morikawa took it through the middle to score with 5:30 on the clock.  With only a few minutes remaining, Moanalua QB #15 Micah Kaneshiro threw a TD pass to WR #18 Jason Sharsh who ran it into the end zone to close the 4th quarter, 21-31. Great job to all the teams! For the preseason Varsity photos "click" here. For JV photos "click" here.
