Sophomore quarterback Jayden Maiava completed 19 of 24 attempts for 251 yards and four touchdowns as the Bulldogs (8-2, 7-1) closed the regular season with a victory over the Falcons (4-6, 3-5).
Kalani scored first on sophomore quarterback Logan Lim’s 3-yard touchdown run and senior kicker Kevin Tabuchi’s extra point, but Kalani didn’t find the end zone again until the fourth quarter.
Kaimuki notched three touchdowns in the first half on Naomas Asuega-Fualaau’s scoring runs of 1 and 16 yards and junior receiver Koby Moananu’s 10-yard scoring catch from Maiava. Moananu caught two touchdown passes of 45 and 19 yards, sandwiching senior tight end Jonah Faasoa’s 3-yard catch to close the third quarter at 42-7.
Kalani senior Jaden Self caught a 33-yard pass from Lim, but the 2-point conversion failed. The Bulldogs’ Moananu added a 27-yard scoring catch and the Falcons’ Tabuchi finished the game with a 45-yard field goal.
