The three-headed monster is devouring defenses just fine.

‘Iolani’s three-man quarterback committee is in full effect, as Kealakehe found out on Saturday afternoon in the Raiders’ 37-0 win.

“We’re where we need to be,” longtime ‘Iolani coach Wendell Look said. “We have to be more efficient and play better every week, but we’re OK.”

Eighth-ranked ‘Iolani improved to 2-0 overall. Kealakehe, which beat Maui last week, is 1-1.

Jarin Yokogawa, the second of the trio to enter the game, fired touchdown passes of 21 and 5 yards to Conor Hannum as the home team soared to a 37-point cushion at intermission. Hannum, a 5-foot-8, 162-pound slotback, hauled in three TD passes by the break.

The Raiders, making a move up to Division I of the ILH this fall, were as efficient and precise as any team can be in mid-August. They finished with 246 total yards, including 76 on the ground (29 attempts). Kealakehe tallied just 105 total yards, including 6 yards rushing.

Tai-John Mizutani, a sophomore, started at QB and junior Jake Smotherman was the third slinger up. They combined for 15-for-25 passing and 160 yards without a turnover in the first half.

K.J. Pascua was their stabilizer on the ground with 12 carries for a hard-earned 59 yards and two TDs, all in the first half, against a stubborn Kealakehe front seven.

For the most part, Raiders QBs picked apart the defense, and ‘Iolani’s defense was in swarm mode against a Kealakehe team that missed five starters who were out with injuries. Defensive linemen Christian Naeole, Hunter Kam, Jonah Buchanan and Cameron Chang were relentless.

“We’ve got the most experience on our D-line,” Look noted. “Our defense was giving us great field position.”

The Waveriders gave ‘Iolani wide receiver Keoni-Kordell Makekau more than his share of attention, He was a force on special teams with four kickoffs for touchbacks. The visitors didn’t have good field position to start possessions at all in the first half.

Makekau, who has college scholarship offers from Hawaii, Navy and Washington State, is optimistic about his young QBs.

“I just appreciate their hard work every day,” the senior said. “All three of them have their ups and downs. They’re still young.”

The running clock (35-point-lead rule) in the second half made the rest of the game quick work. ‘Iolani’s only turnover, on a QB/RB exchange, occurred after the break. Chad Sanehira came up with an interception for the Raiders in the end zone on a long fourth-down toss.

It was a rough day on Oahu for Kealakehe, which was a dynastic program in the BIIF just a few years ago. Among the starters who sat with injuries were running backs Ini Paio and Kobe Antolin.

“It hurts because they play both ways for us. They play linebacker,” coach Sam Kekuaokalani said. “Some of them could’ve played, but it’s not worth risking it.”

Facing the former D-II dynamos on their home field was also worth the trek to Honolulu despite the lopsided result.

“Shoot, man, I knew already they’re a well-coached team,” Kekuaokalani said. “But their passing game was a lot better than I thought.”

‘Iolani will host OIA powerhouse Farrington on Saturday at 2 p.m.
