From a playoff positioning standpoint, Friday night’s Leilehua-Mililani matchup meant plenty to the Trojans, and not so much to the bye-assured Mules.

Don’t underestimate the value of a good old-fashioned rivalry game in the Oahu Interscholastic Association Red West.

With 1:20 left, Mules senior quarterback Kenan Sadanaga led a gallant 80-yard drive and hit Allen Racette with a 16-yard touchdown pass with 16.7 seconds left to lead No. 3 Leilehua over Mililani 40-33 at the Trojans’ field, preserving an undefeated regular season for the West’s top seed (6-0 OIA, 7-0-1 overall).
