In the O'ahu Interscholastic Association's wild, wild West, Kapolei quarterback Brad Padayao and Mililani linebacker Josh Andrews stood above the rest.

Padayao, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior, was named the OIA Western Division's Offensive Player of the Year, and Andrews, a 6-foot, 210-pound junior, was selected as Defensive Player of the Year after a vote of league coaches.

Both players provided a barrel full of exciting plays in a West season that had many of them every week.

Padayao smoothly ran the Hurricanes' offense to the tune of 384.1 yards and 32.7 points per game, personally accounting for many of those numbers. He completed 107 passes in 204 attempts for 1,800 yards and 18 touchdowns, and also rushed for 363 yards and nine touchdowns on 72 carries.

"They were the highest scoring team, and he was the main reason why," Mililani coach James Millwood. "He had three rushing touchdowns against us; he was such a threat every time they got the ball. He had good presence running their offense."

Andrews provided the same kind of excitement at middle linebacker.

"He is a hard-nosed player, a big-time hitter," Millwood said. "He was the leader of our defense, he called all the plays and brought emotion to that side of the ball. I think one of the reasons teams went to the pass against us was because of his big hits early in the game. He was our leading tackler, and his presence was felt by everyone we played."

Mililani won the ultra-competitive West with a 5-1 record and finished 6-3 overall. The Trojans also led the division with seven players selected to the West's all-star first team: Andrews, running back Kekoa Perbera, wide receiver Michael Smith, offensive linemen Micah Kia and Caleb Alaelua, defensive lineman Matt Pupu and defensive back Chris Dickerson.

Perbera, running behind the blocking of Kia, Alaelua and Shane Um, led all West rushers with 768 yards and nine touchdowns on 116 carries (6.6 yards per carry).

Perbera and Kia are the West's only repeat first-team selections.

Smith caught 18 passes for 388 yards (21.6 ypc) and three touchdowns.

'Aiea was right behind with six first-team selections: wide receiver Lofa Li'ili'i, offensive lineman Mako Malepeai, defensive lineman Isaac Tuilaepa, linebacker Kapena Fonseca, defensive back Mana Ohia and utility player Justin Puckett.

Li'ili'i finished with 66 catches for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games overall.

Besides Padayao, the Hurricanes are represented by running back Radford Raquedan, wide receiver/utility player Jon Santiago, offensive lineman Mike Moefu and defensive lineman Ben Kahalehoe.

Raquedan rushed for 513 yards and six touchdowns on 70 carries (7.3 ypc). Santiago caught 35 passes for 671 yards and six TDs.

Five Wai'anae players round out the first team: offensive lineman Nicholas Spotkaeff, defensive lineman James "Smitty" Smith, linebacker George Kauwalu and defensive backs Chad Pa'aluhi and Preston Ayala.

Millwood was named Coach of the Year after guiding Mililani to its third straight West title.

The Trojans' only loss came to 'Aiea, 27-20, in the regular-season finale after Mililani had already clinched the West title. It was the Trojans' first loss after 18 straight West victories, dating to Oct. 4, 2002.
