Kamehameha doesn’t have to remind ‘Iolani about its power running game every year, but it does anyway.

The Warriors ground out 379 yards and scored on all of its second-half possessions except for the last in a 38-22 win over the Raiders at Aloha Stadium on Friday night.

Kamehameha improved to 5-0, 2-0 in the ILH with a big game against Punahou next week. ‘Iolani dropped to 3-2 and 1-1 and plays Saint Louis next week.

Brandon Kahookele was the lead dog for the Warriors, carrying the ball 27 times for 244 yards. Only two other Kamehameha running backs since 1973 have had more yards in a game.

Chad Mahoe owns the school record with 265 in 1998 and Bryson Vivas had 255 in 2005. Both of those performances came against ‘Iolani, and Kahookele knew it.

"My goal was actually to break the record," Kahookele said. "Coach Doug (Cosbie) told me not to focus on that and just hit the holes and let everything happen. But I wanted it. I am most definitely still going for it."

Kahookele took two plays off after a 38-yard run in the first half when he felt something in his knee, but he actually came back stronger.

"He had a big game when we needed him to," Cosbie said. "I don’t think (the injury) was a concern, he is a tough kid and it is a tough game. He plays hard."

Kahookele was not alone in gaining yards behind his offensive line. Quarterback Noah Sua-Godinet broke a tie in the first quarter with a 32-yard touchdown run and finished with 70 yards on six carries. Kayson Nakatsu had 34 on four carries with two touchdowns, Latu Mahonri added 20 and Makoa Freitas kicked in 11.

"When the offensive line plays the way it plays every week, it makes the job easier," Cosbie said. "They’re five seniors, good kids, and they work hard."

Kamehameha outrushed ‘Iolani 379-51 and held sophomore Jordan Ross to 48 yards on 17 carries.

‘Iolani threw the first punch at their bigger foes, scoring on their second possession when Ross took a handoff on a draw play and scampered 16 yards for a touchdown, his longest run of the first half. Jordan Genovia added the extra point.

Kamehameha, which stubbornly ran the ball on its first seven plays and struggled to move the ball, drew even with the help of its defense. Austin Jim On, in his first series for starter Easton Tsubasa, threw an interception on his second pass of the night that Kamehameha’s Dylan Kane returned 28 yards for a touchdown. Kane plucked the ball out of the air off a deflection off receiver Keoni-Kordell Makekau’s hands and outran everyone for the end zone. Tyler Fitzsimmons added the extra point to tie it.

Tsubasa was 12-for-15 before making way for Jim On.

Saint Louis 73, Pac-Five 6

Maybe that will teach the Wolfpack a lesson about having the audacity to score a touchdown against the Crusaders.

Anthony Canencia hit Tsubasa Brennan from 18 yards out in the first quarter to pull the Wolfpack within a point, and the Crusaders responded with their biggest beatdown since 2001, when they beat Damien 81-14.

Adam Noga had 150 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, Ryder Kuhns threw for three scores and the defense accounted for two more in the rout. Saint Louis tried to show some mercy on Pac-Five with the running clock going in the second half, but their third-stringers still scored every time Saint Louis had the ball.

It was the second-largest beating Pac-Five has suffered since 1973, behind only an 89-7 beating at the hands of Saint Louis in 1999. Each of the 10 biggest blowout losses Pac-Five has lost have come against the Crusaders.
