After Segovia scored to put the Knights up 17-7 in the fourth quarter, McKinley's Kimo Terry fumbled the kickoff, but recovered the ball, and went 63 yards for a score.

Leilehua 17, Aiea 14
The Mules scored their first offensive points of the regular season and rallied to beat Na Alii in a Red Division game."We've been struggling," Leilehua coach Cass Ishitani said. "So this win is great for our kids, especially coming from behind, because it was really frustrating not scoring in four games."
In the Mules' other regular season win, their defense scored a safety in a 2-0 shutout of Roosevelt.
Trailing 14-10 last night, Leilehua wide receiver Joshua Tomas caught a hitch pass behind the line of scrimmage and then threw a strike downfield to McKenzie Hanson, who outraced the Aiea safety for the 76-yard winning touchdown with 3:20 left.
It wasn't a surprise play, according to Ishitani, but a variation of a play the Mules ran all night.
Tomas also had a big night on defense, intercepting two Na Alii passes in the end zone.
