The trend continued last night in front of a crowd of about 1,000 fans at War Memorial Stadium as the Lunas defeated the Trojans 42-14 in a Maui Interscholastic League Division II showdown.

The win lifts Lahainaluna to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the MIL going into the Maui County Fair break. The Lunas have outscored their four opponents 162-35.

"It was a good, nice, hard game again,'' Lahainaluna coach Bobby Watson said. "St. Anthony did well. Hopefully we can continue to do what we are doing and take it from there. We got everybody into the game, so that was good.''

About the only thing the Lunas were not able to do in the first half on the way to a 35-0 lead was keep alive their three-game string of leading by at least three touchdowns in the first quarter.

The score was 14-0 after one quarter on a pair of touchdown runs by Lake Casco, but it quickly got worse from there for the Trojans (1-3, 0-2).

Jacob McCarthy broke free for a 33-yard touchdown run 2 minutes, 2 seconds into the second quarter, Kailas McGhee had a 1-yard scoring run 3 minutes later and Casco scored from 8 yards out with 3:13 to go before intermission.

"They are awfully tough,'' Trojans coach Charlie Pico said. "They have the whole package, man. They come at you – wave after wave.''

The Lunas piled up 264 rushing yards in the first half and quarterback Jake Manning was 3-for-6 passing for 42 more yards in the first 24 minutes of play. The Lunas went to the break with 17 first downs.

The Trojans, a team made up of 28 St. Anthony players and Chris Sugidono of Seabury Hall, simply couldn't keep up.

They drove to the Lunas' 5-yard line on their first possession after Casco's 57-yard touchdown run on the second play from scrimmage, but the promising drive fizzled when two 5-yard penalties and a couple of sacks pushed them back before Thomas Cortez missed a 38-yard field-goal attempt wide to the right. The big play of the drive was a 30-yard pass from Aronne Santos to Jacob Skelton.

"We had our chance right there early when we could have knocked it in and hopefully kept it close,'' Pico said. "But they have just about everything and they jumped on us early and they don't let up.''

The Lunas played everyone on their 42-player roster, and four of their 11 rushers had at least 40 yards, led by Casco's seven carries for 98 yards and three touchdowns.

The Lunas did not punt in the first half on their way to turning on the 35-point mercy-rule running clock after halftime.

The Trojans quickly turned the running clock off when Buta Wilhelm-Ioane started the second half at quarterback and hit a wide-open Santos for an 81-yard touchdown pass on the second play from scrimmage of the third quarter.

The Lunas went right back to work with a 10-play, 58-yard touchdown drive after Blaise Smith returned the kickoff 32 yards to the Lunas' 42. The scoring drive featured six rushers who didn't carry the ball in the first half and was capped by a 9-yard run by Ikaika Azcueta with 5:13 to go in the third quarter.

The Trojans got their final score on a nifty 46-yard run by Billy Pacheco with 3:42 left.
