The Buffanblu (5-1, 4-1 ILH) moved into a first-place tie with Saint Louis (5-1, 4-1) with one game remaining in the ILH regular season. Saint Louis plays Kamehameha at Aloha Stadium on Oct. 7 and Punahou hosts ‘Iolani that same day.
Tagovailoa, who accounted for nine touchdowns in a 64-44 win over Punahou earlier this month and set a school record with 493 yards passing in a win over ‘Iolani last week, was held to 118 passing yards and committed three turnovers.
Punahou’s Ryan Dominick had a fumble recovery, a sack and an interception and Miki Suguturaga had two sacks and recorded a safety for the Punahou defense.
Ronson Young rushed for two touchdowns and backup quarterback Chevan Cordeiro scored on an 11-yard touchdown run on the final play of the game for Saint Louis.

My goodness, Kapaa the only undefeated team in Hawaii. A division 2 team. Billy Hull makes it seem like Kapaa is head and heels above all the division 1 teams on Oahu. Undefeated on Kauai seems like a more reasonable statement.

“The loss by the Crusaders leaves Kapaa as the only undefeated team remaining in Hawaii” is just a statement of fact. The writer didn’t taint it either way. It’s the reader who put the spin on it. BTW, it’s just HIGH SCHOOL sports.
