Alvin Faamausili had seen enough.

The Farrington cornerback put an end to a spectacular touchdown show by Castle's Shaydon Kehano by returning an interception 35 yards for a touchdown to help the Governors seal a 42-26 win over the Knights last night at Kaiser Stadium.

The game was close until the final minutes, when Farrington scored touchdowns on defense and special teams.

Farrington (8-2) finished third in the Oahu Interscholastic Association Red playoffs and secured the final state-tournament berth. The Govs will travel to Kealakehe next week to play Honokaa in the opening round.

Harry Tuimaseve rushed for 178 yards on a season-high 36 carries to power Farrington, which did not complete a pass in five attempts.

Castle (6-5) closed the season with an iron-man performance from several two-way starters, including Kehano, who had 11 receptions for 150 yards. The senior scored on two touchdown passes and a 72-yard punt return, the latter bringing Castle within 28-20 with 2:20 left in the third quarter.

Farrington, which outlasted Castle 19-8 in early September, punted on its next two possessions before Faamausili had tight coverage on Kehano's out route. The senior's pick and return, with a vault over a tackler at the goal line, was a backbreaker that gave Farrington a 35-20 lead with 1:15 to play.

“;That interception just broke the game wide open,”; Castle coach Nelson Maeda said. “;The pass was a little late.”;

Farrington's pass rush did the rest, with five sacks: two by V.J. Fehoko, and one each by Seth Ilae, Keith Chargualaf-Tuillapea and Justin Vele. Moments later, Shane Dsio stripped the ball away on Castle's kick return and ran 27 yards for a touchdown.

Castle tacked on a 65-yard bomb from Jaymason Lee to Lowen Rogers with 10 seconds left.

“;Responding from the loss (last week to Kahuku), being very disappointed, it was great to be back on the field,”; Farrington coach Randall Okimoto said.

Akagi all right

Leilehua receiver Kamana Akagi showed up for practice yesterday, and watched from the sidelines.

Akagi suffered a severe concussion in the Mules' loss to Kahuku on Friday night.
