jkaneshiro@starbulletin.comThe Warriors (4-0 ILH, 8-0 overall) controlled all three phases of the game to hand the Raiders (3-1, 5-2) their first loss in league play.
Four different ball carriers rushed for touchdowns for the Warriors and the defense kept Iolani running back Raynold Stowers, the ILH's leading rusher, wrapped up for most of the game.
"I thought the defense played a helluva game," Kamehameha coach Kanani Souza said. "You had to do it as a team and that's exactly what we did."
The Warriors dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage as the defensive front disrupted the Raiders' offense. The offensive line cleared the way for Kamehameha backs to pick up 213 rushing yards.
The Warriors held Stowers, who averaged 196 yards in Iolani's first three ILH games, to 58 yards. The junior carried the ball just four times for 8 yards after halftime.
"The first half we had them on the move a little and the second half they just manhandled us," Iolani coach Wendell Look said. "They dominated us at the line and we couldn't get anything going."
Stowers picked up 50 yards on six first-half carries, but the Kamehameha defense allowed Iolani to get no farther than the Warriors' 40-yard line in the first 24 minutes and kept the Raiders on their side of the field nearly the entire second half.
"We knew what they were doing and they have some good athletes like Stowers ... (but) the coaches prepared us really well," Kamehameha defensive lineman Karl Noa said.
Iolani moved the ball effectively at times in the first half, but couldn't sustain any drives as Kamehameha broke out to a 14-0 halftime lead.
Caleb Spencer set up Kamehameha's first touchdown, weaving though the Iolani defense for a 39-yard scamper down to the Raiders' 1. Travis Beyer scored on the next play.
"You can't give a team like that that many opportunities," Look said. "We just left the defense on the field too long."
