jkaneshiro@starbulletin.comWith Mapa Malupo, the OIA Red Conference's leading rusher, sidelined due to a team infraction, Shauncey-Blaine Saito ran for 172 yards and three touchdowns and Romeo Mayrena added 119 yards and two scores to lead the Sabers past the Mules.
"Shauncey's a tremendous athlete and it's a testament to the (offensive) line," Campbell coach Tumoana Kenessey said.
With the win, Campbell (4-1) maintained its grip on first place in the OIA West Red Conference. The Sabers are a half-game in front of Waianae (3-1), which faces Radford tonight. Leilehua dropped out of title contention at 3-3.
Despite missing Malupo's 144-yard per-game average, Campbell racked up 409 yards on the ground against the Mules. Anthony Dutro, Daniel Stanton and Chris Ahsing combined for 113 yards to complement Saito and Mayrena.
"The kids that came in stepped up," Kenessey said. "That was important, we needed to know what we've got."
Saito credited the Sabers' offensive line for the team's output in the running game.
"They never gave up, they had a no-quit attitude," he said. "Our line may not be the biggest, but they have big hearts. They just go hard every single play."
The Campbell defense gave up 295 yards, but contained Leilehua running backs Jon Sanborn and Cedric Thomas enough for the Sabers' offense to take control.
The Sabers also came up with a key turnover on their own 2-yard line late in the third quarter.

Leilehua linemen David Subee and Bubba Repollo led Jon Sanborn on a run up the middle last night.
"The defense came to play," Kenessey said. "We bent, but we didn't break."
Campbell rumbled through the Leilehua defense on its first two possessions to take a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
Four Sabers carried the ball on the game's opening drive with Dutro scoring an 18-yard touchdown run.
Mayrena finished Campbell's next possession with a 25-yard dash through the middle of the Mule defense.
Leilehua fought back with an 11-play drive aided by a Campbell penalty and Joshua Perez' 13-yard run on fourth-and-11. Perez scored on the first play of the second quarter, beating the Saber defense to the corner of the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown run.
Leilehua immediately got the ball back when Campbell couldn't handle the squib kick by Thomas and Bernard Hay recovered for the Mules.
Four plays later, Perez rolled to his right and hit Daylen Hale for a 21-yard scoring pass. Thomas then bulled in for the 2-point conversion to tie the game at 14.
Campbell reclaimed the lead early in the third quarter on Saito's first touchdown, a 21-yard run around the left side.
Leilehua then took 13 plays to move to the Campbell 5-yard line, but Thomas fumbled on third-and-goal and Isaac Laupola recovered for Campbell at the 2.
"That turnover was critical," Kenessey said. "They were driving and we had to make a stop and we did."
The Saber running game hit full stride in the fourth quarter as they extended their lead on Saito's 7-yard scoring run and Mayrena's second touchdown of the night.
Leilehua continued to battle as Perez scored on an 8-yard run, but Saito erased any doubt with a 55-yard sprint to the end zone with 2:05 left in the game.
The Mules got a final touchdown on Perez's 4-yard toss to Edward Garma.
"Just give it to the coaches for preparing us this week," Saito said. "Everybody did their job and that's all we could ask for."
