St. Francis’ Skylar Kalilikane-McMoore, who challenged the ILH transfer rule, takes the final snap and takes a knee. Ball game.
(2:36) Pac-Five ball on its 45. Uechi drives inside the 10 with 21 seconds to go but is shaken up after taking a hit on a play. Chase Hedani comes in and Angelo Coluccio makes one of the craziest TD catches you will ever see. The ball popped into the air as he hit the ground but he managed to catch it between his legs and it ended up on the back of his legs against his lower back. What a catch. Touchdown Pac-Five. 26-6, :14.
(5:47) Saints ball on their 33. Kekahuna with a 40-yard reception on a juggling catch to continue his amazing game. Bubba Akana with the 10-yard TD to Chase Akana. 26-0, 2:49, Q4.
(8:08) Pac-Five ball on its 29. Sione Lolohea gets his third TFL on third down to force a punt.
(9:55) Saints get a first down and then go for it on fourth-and-8 at the Pac-Five 27. A 27-yard TD pass to Chase Akana from Bubba Akana is called back because Chase went out of bounds first. So now it will be fourth-and-23 at the 42. Saints will punt.
Uechi with a screen to Micah Kong for 31 yards and add 15 more for an illegal tackle. Robbie Lau slow to get up for St. Francis. Kordell Ng with an INT inside the 10 and he returns it to the Pac-Five 42.
———-
(:24) Pac-Five ball on its 8. END 3.
(:41) Pac-Five starts on its 33. Junior DB Kordell Ng deflects a pass and then JP Tilly runs under it for the pick and he’s gone. 42-yard pick-six. 20-0, :27.
(1:13) Pac-Five downs the punt at the 2. Saints backed up. St. Francis puts Shepherd Kekahuna in the backfield. QB draw and he has room and HE IS GONE. 98-yard TD run. OL Kawena Fernandez with a right leg injury on the play for the Saints, who lead 14-0.
Pac-Five started on its 39. Wolfpack had two runs on second-and-1 and third-and-1 and couldn’t get it. Robbie Lau with the TFL to force a punt.

(5:48) Wolfpack will give it another go starting from their 34. Two incomplete passes and punt.
(11:53) Pac-Five starts on its 33. Uechi steps in on third-and-5 and hits Angelo Coluccio over the middle for 14 yards to move the chains. A facemask penalty and Pac-Five has it inside the 40. Makana Poole with a TFL for the Saints to make it third-and-9. Uechi to Robert Walker Jr. for 7 yards and then the Saints jump offsides on fourth-and-2. Uechi to Nakamura over the middle for 14 yards to the 8. Excellent first drive by the Wolfpack. The 12th play of the drive is second-and-goal from the 8. Freshman OL Sione Tava Motu’apuaka injured on a play for Pac-Five. Third down and the pass is INTERCEPTED. Shepherd Kekahuna. 92-yard INT return for a TD. 8-0 Saints, 5:56, Q3.

StF ball on the 20. Jonah Aina-Chaves, the brother of Jonan, at RB. Saints get their first first down but then Noah Sumimoto forces a fumble and recovers it for Pac-Five.
Saints call timeout with Pac-Five facing third-and-1 at the St. Francis 11. Laitin Bradley‘s third straight run goes for 2 yards to the 9 to move the chains. Sione Lolohea with a TFL and then Jackie Johnson with a sack to force fourth-and-goal. A 28-yard field goal attempt is no good.
Saints ball on their 17. Pac-Five’s Leif Fautanu recovers a fumble on the St. Francis 20.
Pac-Five will get it for the first time on its 30. Sophomore Rocket Uechi gets the start at QB and hits Breyndon Nakamura on a little screen pass for 11 yards. Jonah Aina-Chaves gets a sack but a targeting call gives Pac-Five 15 yards. Now a late hit gives up another 15 yards. A holding penalty stalls out the drive and Pac-Five punts.
Short kickoff and Saints start on the Pac-Five 47. Bubba Akana at QB. Shepherd Kekahuna at RB. Two incomplete passes and a TFL by Pac-Five LB Evan Ramirez forces a three-and-out.
