Tyler Kulinski with his second sack for Damien. Moanalua comes back though as Javar finds York down the middle for 26 yards to the 9. Timeout Damien.

Moanalua has it first-and-10 on the Damien 48 to start the fourth quarter. Iaea finishes off a sack of Javar to set up third-and-10. Jayce Jay-Pedro gets another sack for Damien as the coverage down the field has been excellent. Javar has not known where to go with the bal. Punt.

Tanner comes up and makes an open-field tackle on Sulu for a gain of only 2 and Sulu is hurt on the play as Moanalua calls timeout to stop the clock with 1:12 to go. Sulu has to be helped off and isn’t putting any pressure on his right leg. Doesn’t look good.

(4:50) Moanalua ball on the Damien 45 after another good kick return. Javar avoids a sack but the pressure forces a high throw and he’s now missed on four passes in a row after completing his first four. Axton Manaku-Ching with a sack to force third-and-long. Javar has nowhere to go and throws it away but Damien is whistled for roughing the passer. Huge penalty there. Moanalua first-and-10 on the 38 of Damien. Timeout Na Menehune. Iaea tips a pass away there and Javar is lucky that wasn’t picked. Third-and-10 and York goes up high to make a leaping grab for 11 yards and a first down. Javar takes another deep shot but it’s right to Alohi Arecchi who picks it off inside the 5.

Monarchs start the second quarter first-and-10 on their 44. Third-and-7. Holtz finds Meyer open for 10 yards and another third-down conversion. Third-and-4 at the 37 after a Sulu run. Nelson Jr. stops Sulu for a yard. Fourth-and-3. Damien will go for it. Holtz hits Meyer again on the same route for 8 yards and a first down. Sulu bounces one outside for 14 yards to the 14 and is over 100 yards rushing. Tanner with another TD-saving tackle. Iaea runs three times for 9 yards and it’s fourth-and-1 at the 5. Or is it? They will measure. Ball is just short. Exactly seven minutes elapsed on the drive as Damien lines up to go for it. Holtz on the QB sneak gets it. Sulu finishes off a nearly eight-minute drive with a 2-yard TD. 16-play, 67-yard drive, 7:46. 15-0, DMS, 4:58, Q2.

Holtz keeps for 10 yards on third-and-3 and it’s first-and-goal at the 8. Sulu picks up 3 yards to the 5 and Moanalua calls timeout. Play-action pass but Holtz elects to keep it and dives over a defender for a 5-yard TD run. Damien goes for 2 and Bubba Kauhi catches the pass from Duke Hoohuli. Damien throwing the kitchen sink out early. 8-0, DMS, 3:00, Q1.

(7:58) Na Menehune ball on their 27. Senior RJ Javar at QB. His first pass is complete to Jansen York, who breaks two tackles and picks up 32 yards to the Damien 40. A holding penalty kills the drive and Moanalua will punt.

(11:53) Damien will start on its 23 with senior Jake Holtz back at QB after a two-game suspension. RB Amo Sulu, one of two players to top 1,000 rushing yards so far this season on Oahu, rips off a 19-yard gain on his first run. Jett Tanigawa stops Sulu for no gain to force third-and-7. Ezra Kaina gets WIDE OPEN with nobody around him but he drops a sure TD. Monarchs will punt. Missed chance there, OR IS IT? Damien fakes the punt and River Iaea finds Sulu wide open for 25 yards to the Moanalua 24. After a Damien timeout, Holtz goes deep to Jarvis Natividad, but the coverage is tight. Third-and-9. Holtz finds Iaea for 14 yards to the 10 but a flag on the play. Block in the back on Damien. Holtz incomplete on third down but Monarchs line up to go for it. Moanalua’s Rodley Nelson Jr. brings the pressure to force the incomplete pass. Turnover on downs.
