Five games on Oahu Friday night are highlighted by the showdown up North between the top two ranked teams in the OIA.
Two teams searching for their first win in OIA play square off at Radford when the Rams host Kaiser.
Series history: Kaiser has won the last three meetings, but the series is tied 9-9. Kaiser has not had a receiver go over 100 yards against Radford since Matt Ching in 2004, but it has had a rusher go over 100 yards in three of the last four meetings. The last three matchups have all been blowouts, with Kaiser winning 48-7, 51-3 and 33-14. Radford’s last win the series was in 2012.
Paul Honda: Kaiser’s Keoni Pangan (six catches, 152 yards, three TDs) has the potential to break out.
