Governors come back on Tigers
Hercules Sula rushed for 171 yards and seventh-ranked Farrington used a 22-point fourth quarter to rally past No. 8 McKinley 35-21 last night at Mililani High School.
The victory propelled the Governors to 4-1 in the Oahu Interscholastic Association Red East and kept them in a first-place tie with Kahuku. They did it with a strong second-half turnaround.
"We made a lot of changes during halftime. The coaches talked about how the seniors gotta step up," defensive end Andrew Noga said. "McKinley came out strong. I was a little bit surprised, but we never gave up."
Coach Randall Okimoto did not mince words when he spoke to his squad about first-half mistakes.
"I don't usually bark at my guys, but you can't have sloppy play two weeks in a row," he said, referring to last week's loss to Kahuku. "We finally got Hercules the ball. I'm happy for him."
McKinley fell to 3-2 in league play (4-3 overall) despite scoring 21 points with a backup quarterback, Isaac Iuta, against one of the league's top defenses.
"I'm really proud of how our team played," coach Bobby Grey said. "I'm really proud of how well Isaac played."
The Tigers finished with 249 total yards and only one turnover. They had a meager 62 yards in the second half.
Farrington amassed 398 total yards, including 296 on the ground. Maeli Siliga added 80 yards on 12 carries and three touchdowns.
Sula and his offensive line took command in the second half against a tiring McKinley defense. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound senior tallied 102 yards after intermission as the Govs controlled the ball for 16 minutes and 51 seconds.
McKinley's offense drove 65 yards and took a 21-7 lead on Kalama Keawe's 5-yard touchdown run with 5:03 remaining in the third quarter. After that, the Tigers had consecutive three-and-outs in their final three possessions.
Farrington took command after Keawe's touchdown, marching 65 yards in six plays to paydirt. Siliga, in his third start at quarterback since a hand injury to starter Elijah Filifili, scored on a 6-yard bootleg to bring the Govs within 21-14 with 2 minutes left in the third quarter.
McKinley, which had 259 total yards with Iuta in charge, was unable to mount another scoring drive against a resurgent Gov defense.
Farrington drove 50 yards in just five plays on its ensuing series. Sula scored from 7 yards out on a toss sweep to the right to bring his team within 21-20 with 11:44 remaining.
On the PAT, the Govs caught the Tigers off-guard. Holder Alefesio Iu, a former junior varsity quarterback, fired a pass to Trendt Marsom on an out pattern, and Farrington took its first lead, 22-21.
"That took a lot of momentum away, and the three-and-out after that (by McKinley) didn't help our defense," Grey said. "Our defense was on the field for almost the whole second half."
The Govs' calculated risk wasn't worrisome.
"Momentum was on our side and there was a lot of time left if we missed it," Okimoto said.
The McKinley offense sputtered, and Farrington took over at its 14-yard line with 9:32 left. The Govs pounded away at the fatigued Tiger defense all the way to the end zone. Fourteen plays into the drive, Siliga scored on a keeper to the left for a 5-yard touchdown.
