Things ought to be promising for the Kalani Falcons.

In his first game since transferring from Roosevelt, junior David Rasmussen passed for 305 yards and four touchdowns in Kalani's 27-0 win against Waialua Saturday night at Kaiser.

What should alarm Kalani's opponents is Rasmussen is still learning the intricacies of the run-and-shoot. He's likely to get better.

"It was really good for the guys to win," Kalani offensive coordinator Ron Lee said. "We've been struggling for a long time. But this is just the start of the season. We still have a long way to go."

Entering the season, the Falcons won only two of their previous 86 games dating to 2000.

Rasmussen missed the nonleague game against Kapaa a couple weeks ago, so Shane Ra filled in for him. All he did was pass for 265 yards and three TDs in a 27-26 loss. But Ra's true position is linebacker, which he returned to with Rasmussen at QB. With Ra in the middle, the Falcons posted a shutout. Ra even returned an interception 66-yards for an apparent TD, but the play was nullified by a penalty.

Rasmussen said he likes the change of scenery.

"It's challenging, academically and activity-wise," Rasmussen said. "I like it."

Rasmussen had help from other newcomers. Slotback Gavin Kim, from Saint Louis, had seven catches for 168 yards and three TDs. Among them was a 99-yarder. Lorenzo Reeves, a transfer from Kaiser, had seven receptions for 54 yards and the other TD.

Kalani hosts Waipahu Saturday at Kaiser. The Marauders are coming off consecutive wins after a 68-0 loss to Campbell in nonleague play.
