When King Kekaulike's defense forced a 3-and-out on the opening drive and then marched right down the field to take a 6-0 lead on Reyn Yoshiura's 2-yard run four minutes into the game, it seemed as if Na Alii were in for an easy night. Well, so much for first impressions.
Maui High hung tough despite Andrew Conti's line-drive 39-yard field goal just before the half, giving Kekaulike a 9-0 lead.
The Sabers scored with nine minutes left in the game on Vanesi Uta's quarterback sneak and we're still flinging the ball in the final minute in search of a win before their last drive ended with a pick.
Kekaulike was fortunate to pull out a 9-7 victory and pull even with Baldwin for first place in Division I with 3-1 marks. But Baldwin also was lucky to a win the night before at Kamehameha
Again, first impressions were deceiving. After controlling the game early Baldwin needed a 70-yard TD hookup between QB Brock Shishido and Ro Wilson with 1:22 left to escape Kanaiaupuni Stadium with a 24-21 win over the gritty Warriors.
After a bye week, the Lunas return to action on Friday against Maui High. The Lunas lead D-II with a 2-2 record. Sabers are 1-3. On Saturday, Kamehameha visits Kekaulike. Baldwin gets the bye.
