Mililani Outlasts Campbell in High-Scoring, Penalty-Filled Clash

In a game marked by turnovers and penalties, Mililani emerged victorious over Campbell with a final score of 30-23. The contest was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams struggling with discipline and execution.

The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when a botched field goal attempt by Mililani led to a remarkable play. Holder Bless Hanalei Cabrera-Hopkins recovered the low snap, evaded pressure, and threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to defensive lineman Lincoln Uiagalelei, extending Mililani's lead.

Mililani's offense, led by quarterback Kekoa Koong, showed flashes of brilliance, but also committed multiple turnovers. Wide receiver Luke VanAntwerp had a strong performance, catching two touchdowns. The team's offense was also aided by a safety early in the first quarter when Campbell's punter stepped out of bounds in the end zone.

Campbell, despite its struggles, kept the game competitive. The team's defense managed to create turnovers, but penalties and missed opportunities hampered their efforts. Brayden Medeiros threw a touchdown pass to Zayne Pasion late in the game, but Mililani recovered the onside kick to secure the win.

Mililani's victory improves their record to 2-0 in OIA Open play, while Campbell suffered its first loss, dropping to 1-1 in league play.

BNN's Perspective: This game was a testament to the unpredictable nature of football. While Mililani ultimately prevailed, both teams displayed areas for improvement. The high number of penalties and turnovers suggests a need for greater discipline and focus.
