**********
Series history: Kalaheo leads the all-time series 11-10 but Pearl City has won the last five meetings and has shut out the Mustangs the last two games. Tommy Capllonch‘s 135 passing yards against the Chargers last season broke a string of six consecutive games the Mustangs failed to throw for at least 100 yards against Pearl City. Jonathan Dew rushed for 292 yards against Pearl City in 2009, but the Mustangs’ leading rusher has been held to 7 yards or less in the last two meetings. Cyrus Coen, who went on to play linebacker at Washington State, is the last Charger to top 100 yards rushing against Kalaheo (106 in 2009). Tanner Tokunaga‘s 116 receiving yards in a 2012 win is the only time a Pearl City player had at least 100 yards receiving against Kalaheo.
