Mililani drubs Castle in Open-vs.-Division I mismatch

Mililani scored quickly and never looked back in a 66-0 blowout of the Castle Knights for the Trojans’ fifth straight win Friday at Castle High School.

The Trojans haven’t been beaten since Week 1 of the season, when they lost a one-score game against reigning state runner-up Punahou.

This win over Division I Castle served as a good tuneup game for the Trojans, who will take on back-to-back Open division opponents in the coming weeks.

“It gives us a chance to evaluate our second unit,” Mililani head coach Rod York said. “It’s a good thing because they get to play early. We emptied our bench from the second quarter. But coming into the game, we prepared just as we do for Kahuku.”

Quarterback Kini McMillan was impressive under center, completing 16-of-21 passes for 209 yards and four touchdowns. Three of his incompletions were drops, including one in the end zone.

McMillan spread the wealth as nine different receivers caught passes. Makel Paiva led all pass-catchers with 53 yards on two receptions, both of which were touchdowns. Davyn Joseph added two more receiving touchdowns on three grabs, along with 30 yards.

The Trojans’ ground game was led by a pair of 81-yard rushers, and both needed only two carries to rack up those yards. Nakoa Kahana-Travis added two first-half rushing touchdowns while Kanoa Ferreira scored once. Derek Tsuchiyama scored on his only carry, a 42-yard run.

“It’s hard to evaluate because it was a mismatch,” York said about the first-unit offense. “You try to not score too much, but we still put 66 up. We just want to stay healthy, stay sharp and prepare for the next weeks.”

The Trojans scored on each of the first three times they touched the football. After nearly blocking a punt on the game’s opening drive, Mililani turned around quickly, scoring on the very next play. McMillan’s 33-yard touchdown pass to Paiva capped off a quick one-play scoring drive.

Mililani’s next drive went by just as quickly. On the first play of the drive, McMillan handed the ball off to Kahana-Travis, who saw nothing but green ahead for a 48-yard touchdown run.

Two plays later, the Trojans defense made its mark on the scoreboard. Aizik Mahuka intercepted Castle quarterback Nai Kalauokaaea’s pass and returned it 35 yards to make it three quick scores for Mililani.

McMillan continued to roll. He started the next drive with a 14-yard completion, then kept the ball for a 31-yard run. He finished the drive with a 10-yard touchdown throw to Joseph.

With a 27-0 lead in hand, the Trojans continued to lean on the air attack. McMillan completed passes of 5, 17 and 40 yards consecutively to lead Mililani into the red zone. He finished it with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Paiva.

Mililani’s fifth drive of the game was its longest. McMillan connected with Joseph for the pair’s second touchdown, a 6-yard score. The Trojans threw the ball on every play during the six-play drive, with McMillan completing four passes for 54 yards.

The Trojans scored again with just under six minutes to go in the first half. One play after Kaimana Kalu­hiokalani’s interception, Kahana-Travis scored his second touchdown of the game on another long run. His 33-yard score capped off a six-touchdown first half for Mililani.

Despite the 48-point lead, Mililani didn’t slow down in the second half. Lyric Sarae nailed a 37-yard field goal in the third quarter, while Ferreira and Tsuchiyama each scored on long runs of 61 and 42 yards, respectively.

“Stay focused,” York said about his message to the team heading into next week’s Open division matchup against Waianae.

Pac-Five 16, Kamehameha I-AA 0

Seth Miller rushed for 154 yards on 35 carries as Pac-Five (1-2) earned a gritty win over Kamehameha I-AA (1-2) on a wet Friday afternoon at Kunuiakea Stadium.

Kamehameha I-AA’s defense bent without breaking until Pac-Five’s Evan Derauf sliced a 36-yard field goal through the

uprights early in the second quarter.

With 1:44 left in the first half and a torrential late afternoon downpour at Kunuiakea Stadium, Derauf boomed the wet pigskin for a 44-yard field goal and a 6-0 Wolfpack lead.

Pac-Five’s first series in the second half stalled at the Warriors’ 5-yard line, where Derauf aced a 22-yard field goal, his third of the contest.

Elijah Cornell-Chavez’s 18-yard TD run opened Pac-Five’s lead to 16-0 with 10:39 remaining.
