Leilehua High School quarterback Bryant Moniz ran for a touchdown, threw a TD pass and kicked an extra point, and the West defense held the East to just 89 total yards, during a 34-0 victory in last night's 16th Annual HUB Goodwill Senior Bowl.
A capacity crowd of about 3,000 at Kamehameha's Kunuiakea Stadium watched the West pile up 352 yards on offense and come up with three interceptions and a fumble recovery on defense.
Moniz completed 10 of 14 passes for 117 yards and one touchdown, and rushed for 22 yards on three carries, including an 8-yard run for the game's final touchdown with 3:01 remaining.
His 16-yard scoring pass to 'Aiea's Lofa Li'ili'i put the West up, 27-0, with 7:04 left in the third quarter. Moniz also kicked an extra point to make it 14-0 with 8:51 remaining in the half after Punahou's Brett Kan threw a 10-yard touchdown strike to Kapolei's Aaron Santiago.
Waialua's Caleb Fore scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak to help the West take a 21-0 lead into halftime. Fore's 4-yard TD pass to Radford's Kyle Blair started the scoring with 4:07 left in the first quarter.
Kan finished 7 of 12 for 114 yards. Punahou receiver Miah Ostrowski (4 catches, 69 yards) was named the West's Offensive Most Valuable Player, and Wai'anae linebacker George Kauwalu was named the West's Defensive MVP.
Farrington tackle Manu Tonga was named the East's Offensive MVP, and fellow Governor Andrew Noga, a defensive end, was named the East's Defensive MVP.
