Ku Botelho, the son of Pac-Five head coach Kip Botelho, was in the right place at the right time in a 21-12 victory over Radford tonight in the first game of the Father Bray Classic last night at Aloha Stadium.

In the third quarter, Ku Botelho scored on the rare punt recovery in the end zone. Radford, which led 12-0 at halftime, punted from deep in its own territory on the first possession of the second half.

The Rams punter kicked the ball straight up in the air and it hit at the 10 and bounced backward into the end zone where Ku Botelho recovered it for a touchdown with 10:24 left in the third. Josh Mun's PAT made it 12-7.

"The ball just popped into my hands," said Ku Botelho, a senior. "I didn't know what to do. I was wondering what the call was. I didn't know."

Radford coach Fred Salanoa said: "Our players have to know how crucial that snap and that punt are when we're pinned back to our end zone."

On the next Rams possession, linebacker Adam Hom intercepted a pass at the Radford 28. Three plays later, Jaime Rivera scored from 11 yards out to put Pac-Five ahead 14-12 with 8:55 left in the third.

Later in the third, Ku Botelho, a defensive back, came up big again. On first-and-10 from the Rams 36, the Radford quarterback threw over the middle and Ku Botelho stepped in front of the receiver, picked off the ball and ran 45 yards for a score, which made it 21-12 with 3:53 remaining.
