Freshman quarterback CJ Villanueva threw three touchdown passes and the eighth-ranked Raiders scored on offense, defense and special teams to complete an undefeated regular season with a 49-14 win over Pac-Five.
Keao Kawa’akoa returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown after ‘Iolani (9-0, 6-0 ILH D-I) fell behind early and caught a 6-yard TD pass during a 28-point second quarter that gave the Raiders a 35-7 halftime lead.
Villanueva finished 7-for-8 for 112 yards and senior Micah Hoomanawanui was 6-for-8 for 90 yards and a touchdown to help the Raiders extend the state’s longest winning streak to 19 games.
Pac-Five’s Blade Kaululaau returned an interception 92 yards for a score in the first quarter and added a 2-yard run in the fourth quarter to account for both Wolf Pack touchdowns. He finished with a game-high 120 rushing yards on 22 carries.
Pac-Five (3-3, 1-3) still has a game remaining this season against Damien before playing in the Division II state tournament next month.
The Raiders will likely earn a seeded bye in the Division I state tournament, which means they won’t play again until Nov. 19.
