Hiki Kim Choy Keb Ah Lo did a little bit of everything for the Aiea football team Friday night. 

Kim Choy Keb Ah Lo accounted for three touchdowns to lead Na Alii to a one-sided 45-6 win over host Castle in a non-league game in Kaneohe. The junior returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, caught a scoring pass and ran for another touchdown, all in the first quarter to help Na Alii (2-0) overwhelm the Knights (1-2). 

Aiea led 25-0 by the end of the first quarter and built a 38-0 cushion a few minutes into the third quarter. 

Jhermie Cacpal caught a pair of touchdown passes from Elijah Mendoza, who threw three total scoring strikes on the night. Cacpal also ran in a short touchdown. 

Ezra Spencer closed out the scoring with an 81-yard kickoff return for touchdown with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter. 

Kim Choy Keb Ah Lo finished with 184 all-purpose yards. 

Mendoza threw for 178 yards on 12-of-19 passing. He was not intercepted. 

Castle's lone score was the result of a 65-yard TD run by Riley Burton, who finished with 91 rushing yards on 12 carries. 

Xzavier Niko led Aiea defensively with eight tackles, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery. 

Na Alii posted 246 yards of total offense to 121 for the Knights.

Both teams have a bye next week before opening the regular season on Sept. 6. Aiea will face Nanakuli in both team's OIA Division I opener, while visits Kaiser in a Division II matchup.
