Aiea (1-2, 1-2 Oahu Interscholastic Association Blue) has a big test ahead. Na Alii host No. 2 Kahuku next week.
Radford is still looking for its first victory on the field since it won the 2015 state Division II championship, a span of 10 losses. The Rams (1-2, 1-2) beat Kaiser by forfeit last week.
Aiea’s Ferenisi Lualemana (sack, two other tackles for loss) and Oliver Tauala (two tackles for loss) led the defensive charge.
The Rams trailed 33-8 at the half before marching back in the final two periods on Cameron Copeland touchdown catches of 27 and 39 yards from Randy Wright and Menise Pase’s last-minute tackle in the end zone of Na Alii’s Isaiah Ripley for a safety.
