6:53 p.m.: JV game is in the books with Farrington defeating Kapolei, 34-14. Varsity kickoff in approx. 30 min.
6:57 p.m.: It’s pretty funny to see one of the top junior DL recruits in the entire country spending pregame warmups practicing punts with the special teams unit. Imagine 6-foot-3, 280-pound Breiden Fehoko in college ripping punts then charging down the field to tackle the returner. Scary.
7:29 p.m.: Farrington won the toss and will defer. Kapolei gets the ball first as we’re about to kick off.

8:03 p.m.: Kapolei was rolling but Alton Julius came in for a play to run a QB keep and dropped the snap, resulting in an 8-yard loss. Kapolei’s punt goes into the end zone.
8:10 p.m.: Weird sequence. Kapolei jumps offsides on fourth-and-2 to give Farrington a first down but running back CJ Liana fumbles on the next play. Micah Parris on the recovery.
8:13 p.m.: Kahana hits Mana Reis for 8 yards on third-and-7 and then Triston Pebria with an amazing 29-yard touchdown run to give Kapolei a 7-3 lead with 3:22 remaining.
8:26 p.m. Farrington QB Montana Liana tosses a 35-yard pass to Jacob McEnroe with less than a minute remaining to put the ball at the Kapolei 16. Liana then finds Jacob Baguio two plays later for a 15-yard touchdown with 30 seconds remaining. Farrington 10, Kapolei 7.
8:27 p.m.: Sasaoka, the kicker, makes a touchdown-saving tackle on the ensuing kickoff as Mana Reis returns it 55 yards. Kapolei first-and-10 at the Farrington 40 with :15 seconds remaining.
8:28 p.m.: Kahana with a 17-yard scramble to the 23 with seven seconds remaining. Farrington LB Aaron Kesi hurt on the play. Kahana tries a QB draw but fumbles. Farrington recovers and the half is over. Kahana is still down and being looked at by the training staff.
