Farrington tops Castle, locks up second place in Red East

When Farrington's passing game started to click last night it meant big trouble for Castle.

The Govs trailed by a touchdown early, but quarterback Alefesio Iu went to town with three straight TD passes and Farrington was on its way to a 25-15 victory at Mililani.

Iu had a slow start, with incompletions on his first three passes, including an interception, but he finished strong.

With the win in the regular-season finale, the Governors (4-2-2, 4-1-1) clinched second place in the OIA Red East and a first-round bye in the upcoming playoffs. The Knights (3-5, 3-3) are tied for third place with Kailua. Kalaheo (4-3, 2-3) plays McKinley (0-6-1, 0-4-1) tonight and also could tie for third.

Joshua Fernandez also had a big night for Farrington, rushing for more than 100 yards.

A shanked Castle punt late in the first quarter led to a Farrington score. The Govs drove 63 yards, and the big play was Fernandez's 24-yard run to set up Iu's 6-yard TD toss to Matt Stowers in the left corner of the end zone early in the second quarter to make 7-7.

The Knights fumbled away the ensuing kickoff. Seven plays later Farrington faced a fourth-and-3 situation at the 4, but Iu came through with an Ani Isumu 4-yard TD connection, and a 13-7 lead with 6:14 left in the half.
