Kaimuki RB Brandon Kekoa rushed for 103 yards and a score against Nanakuli.

Brandon Kekoa rushed for 103 yards and one touchdown on just 12 carries and Siaosi Hala'api'api added two more TD runs last night to help Kaimuki blitz Nanakuli, 46-0.

The victory at Roosevelt's Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium improved the Bulldogs' record to 5-0 overall, 4-0 in the O'ahu Interscholastic Association's White Conference. The Golden Hawks fell to 1-4, 1-3.

Kaimuki took the opening kickoff and zipped 63 yards down the field in just six plays, capped by a 5-yard scoring run by Hala'api'api on third-and-2. The extra point attempt was wide left.

After Nanakuli went three-and-out on the ensuing series, the Bulldogs marched down the field again, this time going 49 yards in eight plays culminating in Nehoa Spencer's 11-yard run on a quarterback keeper.

The PAT attempt failed again, but Kaimuki scored again two plays after the kickoff anyway when Amu Moefu recovered a Golden Hawks fumble in the end zone. This time Keoki Kaiahua converted the point-after, making it 19-0 with 2:35 still remaining in the first quarter.

The Bulldogs stretched the lead to 25-0 less than three minutes into the second quarter, when Spencer threw a pass down the right sideline to Daylan Demello, who eluded a couple defenders en route to a 62-yard touchdown play.

Kekoa later capped an eight-play, 59-yard drive with 2-yard TD run on third-and-1 and Kaiahua's extra point made it 32-0 with 25 seconds left in the half.

Kaimuki rolled up 300 yards by halftime, holding Nanakuli to minus-1 yards on defense.

Demello's 58-yard punt return set up Hala'api'api's second touchdown, a 12-yard run with 7:55 remaining in the third quarter, igniting the running clock.
