Moanalua rallied from a 21 point deficit, scoring all 27 of its points in the second half to stun Roosevelt, 27-21.

For the second time this season, Na Menehune eked out a win in the closing moments via the tandem of Taylor Malloe and Keenan McCaddy. The two connected for a 56 yard pass play with just two minutes left in regulation to put Na Menehune up 25-21, then Malloe added a two-point conversion on a pass to Jayce Bareng for good measure.

Bareng had a game-high nine grabs for 149 yards and two scores, one of which came on a 97 yard pass play that opened the second half scoring and also keyed the rally.

The other two scores for Na Menehune came on a 22 yard connection between Malloe and Andy Canencia, and a 30 yard TD toss from Malloe to Bareng.

Roosevelt looked in control early, taking the lead in the second quarter on an 11 yard pass from Kayman Lewis to Kalua Nahale, then adding to the lead on a punt block returned by Jayden Gaopoa-Montgomery for another touchdown.

The Rough Riders closed out the scoring in the first half on a seven yard scoring play from Lewis to Kamu Kaaihue, who led the team with eight grabs for 87 yards.

Malloe eclipsed the 300 yard mark for the second straight game, completing 22 of 44 passes for 343 yards and four scores. McCaddy had 92 yards receiving and Canencia 52 yards on four receptions.
