Kamehameha tries a slant on an RPO on third-and-goal and Matautia nearly drops back and picks it off and he might have had six the other way. Preston Rezentes is wide left on a 32-yard field goal.

(4:18) Punahou ball on its 28. The shifty Terrell gets 13 yards on third-and-2. Evaimalo and Peihopa combine to stop Terrell for a loss of 1 on first down. Third-and-11 after a high throw from Sagapolutele down the middle. Sagapolutele has to throw early as Evaimalo just whipped the right tackle and got a clean shot on the QB. Incomplete and punt. Evaimalo is a monster off the end right now for Kamehameha.

(5:52) Punahou ball on its 1. Freshman John-Keawe Sagapolutele in at QB. Third-and-1 after a 6-yard run by Vincent Terrell. Punahou elects to run and it’s complete to Christopher Paige who makes a man miss but just hits the sideline or would have had room to run. A 9-yard reception picks up a first down. Punahou gets tricky and tries a backwards pass but Kamehameha’s Ezra Evaimalo gets off on the end and bats it backwards and picks it up in the end zone. That’s a TD for the Kamehameha defense. 7-0, KSK, 4:26, Q1.

(11:53) Kamehameha will start on its 26. Yuen indeed at QB. Tanner Moku at RB. Punahou’s Alaka’i Gilman with a TFL on the first play but then Yuen hits Kawika Clemente on a short pass and he takes it 47 yards inside the Punahou 30. Clemente gets his first carry on third-and-2 and they will measure. First down Kamehameha at the Punahou 17. Yuen with 7 yards on the bootleg to the 10. Moku with a tough run to the 6 and a personal foul moves it to the 3. Moku stuffed for no gain and then they try to run Clemente on the receiver run and he loses 1. Third-and-goal at the 4. Yuen with an incomplete pass but a flag comes out. PI on Punahou. Ball at the 2. No automatic first down. Andrew-Lee Smith with the carry and he’s marked down at pretty much the 1-inch line. Handoff to Smith again and he goes down right at the goal line, just short. Turnover on downs after a drive that lasted more than six minutes.
