Kekaulike rebounds with win

Bouncing back from a season-opening football loss at home, King Kekaulike rallied from an 8-7 halftime deficit to an 18-8 road win over Big Island favorite Kealakehe on Saturday.

Charles Spencer led the way for Na Alii, rushing for 157 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown jaunt with 10:15 remaining in the game. Andrew Conti's 25-yard field goal with 2:37 left sealed the deal for Kekaulike.

The final weekend of non-league games for MIL teams takes place this Saturday, with playing host to Kauai High at 12:45 under the hot sun in the Imu and Maui High entertaining Waimea at 7 under the lights at War Memorial Stadium.

Kauai quarterback Trey Shimabukuro completed TD passes to four different receivers in the first half as the Raiders jumped out to a 40-0 halftime lead and cruised to a 47-7 win over visiting Honokaa on Saturday.

Waimea is coming of a 14-6 loss against visiting HPA on Friday.

Last year's two state Divison-I tournament finalists both lost over the weekend.

Kahuku dominated defending champion Punahou, limiting the Buffanblu to 91 yards for a 24-14 win. Kahuku linebacker TJ Tito had five of his teams seven sacks.

Mililani jumped out to a 21-3 halftime lead and held on to defeat defending runnerup Leilehua and all-state QB, Andrew Manley, 21-18.

And PJ Minaya tied former Saint Louis School and University of Hawaii standout Timmy Chang's state record by throwing for eight touchdowns as Pac-Five beat McKinley by the basketball-like score of 66-40.

In other high-profile games, top-ranked Saint Louis eased past Kaimuki, 35-7, No. 5 Kamehameha-Kapalama crushed Kailua 34-2, eighth-ranked Waianae romped to a 41-21 win over No. 7 Kapolei, and Castle easily handled No. 9 Iolani 42-21.
