Running back Challen Faamatau accounted for four touchdowns, two by air and two on the ground, as No. 6 Farrington outlasted No. 10 Moanalua, 42-35, in an Oahu Interscholastic Association Blue Division game at Roosevelt's Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium on Aug. 29, 2015.

Faamatau amassed 155 yards from scrimmage for the game, and accounted for Farrington's first two scores of the contest, a 4 yard touchdown run and later a 30-yard touchdown reception.

Down double digits, Andrew Nava intercepted Rapoza near the goal line and returned it to the 28-yard line. Moanalua cashed in the turnover as Alakai Yuen threw a 72-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Bender, but the pass failed and the Na Menehune trailed, 14-9.

Six plays later, Farrington answered back as Faamatau caught a 19-yard touchdown from Rapoza with 1:18 to take a 21-9 lead going into halftime.

Moanalua bounced back in the second half scoring 26 unanswered points in the third quarter, as Yuen threw a 40-yard touchdown to Ryan Ramones and on the ensuing kickoff, Brandon Bender recovered the ball as it bounced off a Farrington player. Three plays later, Yuen found Isaiah Jackson for a 17-yard touchdownm, inching Na Menehune ahead for the first time in game, 22-21.

Yuen found Ramones again for a 29-yard touchdown and later threw a 8-yard touchdown to Feliciano to make it, 35-21 with 1:02 left in the third quarter.

The Govs rallied back as Rapoza threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Moses-Sanchez. After Moanalua went three-and-out and a short punt, Farrington scored in three plays capped by Faamatau's 4-yard run. Finau Walter's kick gave the Govs a 36-35 lead.

In the waning moments of regulation with the game still in the balance, Ryota Kony picked off Rodson Kealohi, who came in for an injured Yuen early in the 4th, and returned it for a 17-yard score to give the Govs a 42-35 lead for good.
