bye, Sept. 7-8
W 28-7 Kamehameha, Aloha Stadium, Sept. 14
The skinny: Manti Te‘o and Dane Okamura led a fierce defensive unit against the Warriors. The Buffanblu had Kamehameha's offense well scouted. After giving up six touchdown passes in two games, Punahou didn't allow one by the Warriors.

W 23-7 @ Kapolei, Sept. 15
The skinny: Touchbacks, field goals and punting are all the Trojans' domain thanks to Colin Lund. His 47-yard field goal had an extra 10 yards to spare at Kapolei.

L 8-0 Leilehua, Sept. 14
The skinny: My No. 3 team (last week) falls. Home loss is a stunner for the Seariders, but we could have a Red West titlist with two losses.

L 23-7 Mililani, Sept. 15
The skinny: My No. 4 team (last week) falls. Three weeks off had a major effect against Mililani. Sophomore Noah Pascua, however, had a positive performance in spot duty, and Mason Koa emerged as a terrific wideout.

bye, Sept. 7-8
W 46-19 Damien, Aloha Stadium, Sept. 14
The skinny: One of the few teams that can give up almost 300 rushing yards to a foe (Kama Bailey) and win by 27 points. Kela Marciel and his receivers communicate on a frequency not heard by human ears.
