New year, new Moanalua.
Na Menehune handled visiting Kailua, last season’s Division I state champion, in convincing fashion with a 41-18 win on opening weekend Saturday night.
Running back Titan Te’o was at the forefront of the victory with three touchdowns on the ground.
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.
