WAHIAWA — Jeremy Higgins completed 19 of 32 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns last night, helping Saint Louis hold off Leilehua, 28-21, in nonleague action at Hugh Yoshida Stadium.
The Crusaders improved to 3-0; the defending state runner-up Mules fell to 1-2.
The game featured two of the state’s top quarterbacks, Higgins and Leilehua’s Andrew Manley — The Advertiser’s State Co-Offensive Player of the Year in 2008. Manley finished 17 of 28 for 187 yards and two TDs, and his 20-yard scamper for a score helped the Mules close to 28-21 with 8:17 remaining.

Warriors’ defense shuts down Seariders
By Kalani Takase
Advertiser Staff Writer
WAI’ANAE — Kamehameha head coach David Stant expects a lot out of his defensive players.
Last night he got just about everything he could out of them in a defense-dominated 13-0 win over host Wai’anae in a nonleague game at Raymond Torii Field.
The fourth-ranked Warriors improved to 3-0 while allowing just 116 yards of total offense. The Seariders, ranked sixth in The Advertiser’s Top 10 poll, fell to 1-2.
“A win is a win, but you know, having a defense like ours allows us to take more chances with things like field position,” said Stant, a former Kahuku and University of Hawai’i defensive lineman. “I can’t say enough about our defense, they’re just playing phenomenal right now.”

‘Iolani scores winning TD as time expires
Kevin Barayuga caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Jarrett Arakawa as time expired yesterday to lift ‘Iolani to a pulsating 23-21 nonleague victory over Kapolei at Eddie Hamada Field.
The defending Division II state champion Raiders improved to 2-1; the Hurricanes fell to 1-2.
Kapolei took a 21-17 lead with 1:06 remaining on Noah Pascua’s 19-yard TD pass to Donnie King and Eric Morales’ extra point. But ‘Iolani went 71 yards in 10 plays after the ensuing kickoff, capped by Arakawa’s quick throw to Barayuga on an out pattern to the right side.
“The play was run for him to get open,” said Arakawa, a senior who completed 22 of 37 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown and ran for another TD. “That’s what we always play for — to do it with the game on the line.”
