T.C. Campbell picked the right time to have a career night.

The senior quarterback tossed five touchdown passes, including three in a pivotal third quarter, as Kamehameha pulled away for a 45-21 win over Punahou that clinched the Interscholastic League of Honolulu football championship. It was Kamehameha's first ILH title since 2004, and also a first under coach David Stant.

Campbell directed a turnover-free offense that ran well out of pistol formations. Ryan Ho gained 153 yards on 32 carries, forcing Punahou's defense to pick its poison.

“;Our offense and defense and special teams all did great,”; Ho said. “;We're a complete team.”;

Campbell was 11-for-24 for 169 yards without a pick.

“;It's easy when the O-line gives you all day,”; said Campbell, who was not sacked. “;It's a team win, not about the stats.”;

“;We tried, but they passed terrific,”; Punahou coach Kale Ane said. “;We wanted them to throw the ball, and they threw through tight windows. They played well in clutch situations.”;

A win by Punahou would have created a tie for first place and forced a tiebreaker game between the teams next week. Instead, Kamehameha (10-1, 7-1 ILH) will have a lot of rest until the HHSAA state championships kick off in two weeks.

The Warriors had a narrow 16-14 lead at halftime, but Campbell found Blaise Cuban for a 27-yard touchdown pass on fourth and 9 to cap their first series of the second half.

Two plays later, linebacker Kawika Stant jarred the ball loose from Jeremy Ioane and safety Wave Ryder recovered. Campbell found Charley Bollig on the left sideline, and Bollig stretched the ball over the goal line for a 20-yard touchdown. Kamehameha led 29-14 with 4:49 to go in the third quarter.

Ryder stymied the Buffanblu with a 56-yard interception return on the ensuing series to set up Campbell's 19-yard scoring strike to Cuban on a corner route, and the Warriors led 36-14 with 1:14 to go in the third.

From there, Punahou scored a touchdown on a Stabren Caires 1-yard run, but got no closer.

Pac-Five 33, Word of Life 14

P.J. Minaya hooked up with London Amorin for three consecutive touchdowns—40, 41 and 38 yards—in three consecutive offensive plays to end a stalemate in the second half.

Amorin amassed 200 yards on nine receptions. Minaya finished with 337 passing yards and five touchdown passes, including two to Darin Kamealoha.

With the score tied at 14-all in the third quarter, the tide began to turn when Pac-Five linebacker Payton Lott popped the ball loose from WOLA running back Richard Landford.
