No. 7 Campbell 33, Aiea 13, 2:09, Q3
It’s gotten sloppy here with the teams exchanging interceptions. Campbell has now picked off Matsunami three times, all in the red zone. Aiea is at the Campbell 10, fourth and 2 with 2:14 left in the third quarter. Matsunami has five wide, empty backfield and hits Romance Maae-Liupaono on a slant for a 10-yard TD pass. High snap on the PAT, kick is partially blocked.
No. 7 Campbell 33, Aiea 7, 6:50, Q3
Another huge pick by Campbell deep in the red zone. Matsunami’s long pass is intercepted by Jared Thomas, who returns the ball 56 yards to the Aiea 44. Three plays later, Kaipo launches a 48-yard bomb to Adkins-Kupukaa for a TD. PAT run by Tafai is stuffed.

Aiea drives to the Campbell 10 with :04 left in the half, but Cassius Taualo sacks Matsunami to end the half.
No. 7 Campbell 27, Aiea 7, :45.7, Q2
Adkins-Kupukaa returns an overthrown pass by Matsunami to the house, weaving to the left sideline for an 87-yard interception return. Huge play by the highly versatile sophomore.
No. 7 Campbell 21, Aiea 7, 3:32, Q2
Sabers controlling the line of scrimmage, converting on fourth and 1 as Vaimoui barrels off the right side for 10 yards. Tyrese Tafai gets his first action on offense, scoring on a 1-yard blast.
Five-yard kickoff return sets Aiea back at its 10. They advance to their 22, punt, ball downed at the 45. Short field for Campbell.
No. 7 Campbell 14, Aiea 7, 11:01, Q2
Campbell driving and it’s fourth and 1 at the Aiea 11 after a nine-yard screen pass to PAK (Adkins-Kupukaa). Time out, JCHS. Dive right to Viliami Vaimoui, who rambles in for an 11-yard TD almost untouched.
#####
The opening quarter ends with the Sabers at the Aiea 20. Kaipo has open receivers most of the time so far. He is 5-for-8, 121 yards, one TD, no picks.
No. 7 Campbell 7, Aiea 7, 2:00, Q1
Na Alii put together a determined, piecemeal drive with a lot of short passes by QB Ty Matsunami. They convert on a key fourth and 3. Inside the 10, they turn to Ferenisi Lualemana, a 5-9, 330-pound defensive tackle. He lines up at QB, gains 1 yard. Then he fumbles, looks like he was going to throw, recovers. Finally, fourth and 6, he finds Teron Kitashima on a jump pass at the line of scrimmage. Kitashima is wide open at the goal line, 8-yard TD pass. WOW.
No. 7 Campbell 7, Aiea 0, 8:59, Q1
Strange but true. Campbell drove to the Aiea, 10, committed three penalties in a row, took a 15-yard sack and fumbled (and recovered) before QB Krenston Kaipo connected with Poki‘i Adkins-Kupukaa on a 40-yard bomb for a TD. Kupukaa already has four receptions for 100 yards after breaking the school record for receiving yardage (204) last week against Farrington.
Campbell will receive the opening kickoff. Conditions are breezy, around 10-20 mph, clear skies, still warm with the sun going down.
Aiea football,
maybe a different coach might turn the program around. The students deserve to see their football team win. I guess the school or community like what Say is doing.
same thing different year.
Say is teaching these kids valuable life skills. Losing is just as much a part of life as winning. The discipline that thsee kids learn from football will stay with them forever.
I’m sure these kids learn discipline from Say. Maybe next game! But, it would be nice to see Aiea football win. Go and win the next game Aiea!
