Na Menehune quarterback Tyler Gines-Hufana added two scoring passes in the victory, a 1-yard strike to Zaysten Kealoha for the first points of the game and a 25-yard pass to Xander-Kage Diehl-Zablan before the end of the first half to give Moanalua.

Kailua’s Tayvin Kahele caught two TD passes to lead the Surfriders in the loss.
