Marcus Mariota passed for three touchdowns and 163 yards to lead Saint Louis over Kamehameha, 34-12, Thursday night in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu regular season finale at Aloha Stadium.

The ILH champion Crusaders (9-1 overall, 7-0 ILH), ranked second in the ScoringLive-OC 16 Power Rankings, are likely to get a first-round bye in the Division I state football tournament, which starts Nov. 12. The defending ILH and state champion Warriors (5-5, 3-4) end their season in third place in the league's Division I standings, a game behind Punahou (4-3).

Mariota was 10 of 18, completing TD passes of 53 yads to Joshua Tupua, 16 yards to Dallas Tuumalo and five yards to Duke Bukoski. Mariota wasn't sacked at all.

Backup Kawai Mook-Garcia was 6 of 9 for 113 yards, including a 31-yard TD to Tupua.

Saint Louis wasted no time getting on the board. After Kamehameha punted after its first series, the Crusaders took over at their 47 and on first down, Mariota hit Tupua in stride for a 53-yard TD one minute, 45 seconds into the game.

The Crusaders didn't score again until the second quarter on Mariota's 16-yard TD pass to tight end Tuumalo to make it 14-0 with 8:53 in the half.

Mook-Garcia played a series just before the half, tossing his TD pass to Tupua to make it 21-0 at 2:11 before the half.

The Warriors finally scored on a 31-yard TD pass from Christian Akana to Brock Ruelke with 57 seconds left in the half to pull to 21-6.

But Saint Louis scored on its first series of the second half on Bukoski's five-yard TD reception to make it 28-6.

Running back Keanu Mook-Garcia added another Saints' TD on a four-yard run to start the fourth quarter to make it 34-6 before Kamehameha scored midway through the fourth quarter on a nine-yard TD pass from Akana to Charley Bollig IV to make it 34-12.
