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 Lahainaluna 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.
