‘HNN Two-Minute Drill’: OIA Championship match ups are set
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – After an exciting weekend of high school football action, the Championship match ups for the OIA are set.
Here’s a look at some of what went down this weekend.
Waipahu vs. Leilehua
Leilehua made the trip to the 94Block for a battle with Waipahu.
It would be close 1st quarter, Maruders leading it 8-7, but Waipahu would turn on the gas — 5 total touchdowns.
Quarterback Elijah Mendoza would find Eric Stephens twice in the endzone, one for 24 yards the other for 37.
Marauders move on, 37-21.
Farrington vs. Kailua
In Kalihi, the other D1 semi final, Farrington hosting Kailua and its a stark contrast from the other semi.
Ground and pound while the defense was playing stingy, Kailua struck first with a field goal, but the Governors ground game shined.
The low scoring affair would continue into the second half. The Surfriders surge back in the second just a bit to make it 13-10 in the fourth.
That score would stand the Govs head to the OIA D1 championship.
