KAHUKU — One week ago, Dillon Gabriel and the Mililani football team broke the state's all-time career passing yards record.

On Saturday night, the fourth-ranked Trojans executed at a high level to end No. 2 Kahuku's 49-game winning streak at home.

Visiting Mililani spoiled the Red Raiders' homecoming and handed Kahuku its first loss at home since 2007 with a commanding 38-10 OIA Open Division win before a standing-room only crowd at Carleton E. Weimer Field.

Gabriel completed 30 of 47 passes for 309 yards and two scores to help the Trojans improve to 6-2 overall and 4-0 atop the league standings. The senior quarterback did not throw an interception and was never sacked in the contest.

"We knew that the person we needed to stop was Dillon. He entered the game in a white jersey and he left in a white jersey," said Kahuku first-year coach Sterling Carvalho. "He's savvy, he gets the ball out, he knows his reads and he executed it well."

But Gabriel didn't do it all on his own against the Red Raiders (4-2 overall, 1-1 OIA Open). Bruising back Kilifi Malepeai ran in three scores in the red zone and Mililani's receivers made a handful of spectacular grabs in traffic to either extend drives or put up points.

Mililani's defense swallows Kahuku RB Wesley Alo-Maiava. The Trojans also forced four three-and-outs in the first half that led to 17 points. Mililani's defense swallows Kahuku RB Wesley Alo-Maiava.
