WAIANAE 13 – MILILANI 9
VARSITY — In a defensive struggle – Waianae rallied from a 9-0 deficit
at home to win 13-9 in a OIA Red West Division Match-Up.
The Seariders improved to 2-0 on the season, Mililani fell to 1-1.
Numerous penalties and critical drive ending turnovers between the two
teams was the a continuous trend throughout the game. However, Waianae
made just a couple more plays then Mililani did when it counted to pull
out the victory.

Mililani lost out on four points with its special teams
– The Trojans missed a field goal attempt on its opening drive of the
game and then had a point after touchdown kick attempt blocked. Ironic,
the final margin of victory for the Seariders was fourt points.
Next week, Waianae will host another top ranked team as the Iolani
Raiders visit the Leeward Coast. Mililani looks to bounce back and will
host Pac-Five on its campus.

tough on its home field but fell to 0-2 on the season. The Knights will
now prepare for OIA Red East Division games starting next week.
The Warriors jumped out to an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter but
found themselves in a 14-12 dogfight at halftime. The score remained
