W 28-21 Damien, Aloha Stadium, Oct. 12

L 21-6 @ Leilehua, Oct. 5
bye, Oct. 12-13
The skinny: Four-way tie for three final playoff spots leaves Na Alii done for the season. Sad to see an explosive passing offense out of the playoffs, but the fracas with Campbell, and the ensuing forfeit loss, proved to be the difference.

W 44-7 Konawaena, Oct. 12
L 27-21 (OT) @ Keaau, Oct. 19
The skinny: Tough road in the BIIF, especially after the loss at Keaau. A 115-mile bus ride home is always longer after defeat. Waveriders needed a test or two in order to really improve, and they got it.
