KEALAKEKUA, Hawai'i —The Campbell football team pulled off a rare statistical feat for a run-and-shoot team: more rushing yards than passing yards.

The hard-running Brandon Ahuna and a physical offensive line allowed the Sabers to pull it off in a 25-15 victory over Konawaena Friday night in the first round of the First Hawaiian Bank Division II State Football Championships.

Ahuna, a 5-foot-7, 158-pound running back, rushed for 130 yards on 19 carries as Campbell gained 229 rushing yards and passed for 201.

The Sabers' defense held Konawaena to 173 total yards and gave up only a touchdown late in the first quarter and a late score with the game pretty much in hand.

Campbell, the O'ahu Interscholastic Association White champion, will play No. 1 seed 'Iolani, the Interscholastic League of Honolulu champion, in the semifinals Friday, Nov. 28 at Roosevelt's Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium.

Samson Anguay rushed for 65 yards on six carries, and Lalo Respicio passed for 176 yards for Campbell.

Konawaena, the Big Island Interscholastic Federation champion, went three-and-out on its first possession and Campbell (11-1) took just one play to cash in on a spectacular 39-yard touchdown pass from Respicio to Arthur Aiwohi just 49 seconds in.

Respicio tossed it down the middle, and Aiwohi went high and ripped the ball away from a Wildcats defensive back at the goal line.

Konawaena (10-3) also went three-and-out on its next possession, but put things together on its third series.

The Wildcats drove 57 yards on 11 plays, and tied it at 7-7 on a beautiful 4-yard fade pass from Thomas Deniz to Thomas Royce in the right corner of the end zone with 2:04 left in the first quarter.

Konawaena converted two fourth-down plays on the drive. One came courtesy of an encroachment penalty, the other came on a 14-yard bootleg by Deniz to the Sabers' 13.

Campbell, the tournament's No. 4 seed, regained the lead at 13-7 on a 3-yard run up the middle by Ahuna with 10:49 left before halftime. The drive lasted 10 plays and covered 65 yards.

The Sabers scored again with 1:15 left before halftime on a 6-yard pass from Respicio to Daniel Masifilo, which made it 19-7.

In the first half, Campbell, ranked No. 10 in The Advertiser's Top 10 poll, outgained Konawaena, 230 yards to 69.

The Sabers scored on their first possession of the second half with backup quarterback Damon Fuentes at the controls. With Respicio on the sideline getting his leg taped, Fuentes directed a seven-play, 63-yard drive, which culminated on a 13-yard shovel pass from Fuentes to Robert Regpala to make it 25-7.

Konawaena's Deniz scored on an 8-yard run with 2:39 left and he ran in the two-point conversion.
