Advertiser Staff

Iolani wore down Moanalua, 48-20, today in a semifinal of the First Hawaiian Bank Division II state football tournament.

A crowd of about 1,500 at Iolani's Kozuki Stadium watched the No. 7 Raiders (8-4) advance to the title game for the second consecutive year. They lost to Campbell, 28-7, last season. Iolani will play Radford on Friday at Aloha Stadium at 5 p.m.

The Rams (9-2) defeated Kamehameha-Maui, 37-27, in the other semifinal tonight. The Warriors finished 6-7.

Moanalua (9-3) ends its season having won more games than any previous Moanalua team.

Iolani quarterback Kiran Kepo'o passed for a season-high 353 yards and matched a season-best four touchdowns. He had TD strikes off 61 and 50 yards to Travis Nishioka (5 for 132 yards), 19 to Mike Hirokawa and 35 yards to David Whitehouse.
