MILILANI — Senior running back Jordan Torres rushed for 241 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries last night to help Mililani hold off visiting Iolani, 26-23, in nonleague football action.

The Trojans (2-0) recovered an onside kick with 3:19 remaining and drove to the Raiders' 11-yard line before taking a knee on the game's final play. Iolani, the defending Division II state champion, had closed to 26-23 on Kody Adams' extra point after an 8-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Dung to Lionel Fujioka.

The Raiders, with only four players weighing over 200 pounds, were threatening to knock off a second straight O'ahu Interscholastic Association Red (Division I) Conference opponent. They rallied past Radford, 22-16, last week.

"They're very disciplined and very well-coached, and they execute well," said Mililani coach James Millwood, who has 23 players weighing over 200. "I was very impressed with them. But even watching the film of the Radford game, I noticed they wait for the other team to make mistakes, and we had our share of them."

But it was an Iolani mistake on the last play of the first half that gave the Trojans some long-sought momentum.

Trying to avoid two blitzing defenders, Raiders sophomore backup quarterback Kela Marciel threw a swing pass to the right flat. Safety Curtis Murakami intercepted the ball and ran it back 46 yards for a touchdown. The Trojans botched the extra-point attempt, but went into halftime leading 19-10.

"That was big," Torres said of Murakami's interception and score. "After that, we had so much motivation going into the second half."

Iolani coach Wendell Look said Marciel, who played varsity baseball and basketball last year and quarterbacked the Raiders' intermediate team to the Interscholastic League of Honolulu football title, simply was trying to make something happen.

"He's a playmaker, and he'll turn broken plays into big gains," said Look, who said the plan was to let Marciel play two series at quarterback. "(The interception) was a big play, an important play, but when you have a guy with his athleticism and talent, you cannot rein him in. You take the good with the bad, and he made a lot of good plays, too. He made some big throws and big tackles (playing cornerback) and picked up a fumble (on defense). The interception was not the one thing that lost us the game."

Mostly it was Torres, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound tailback who breaks tackles and quickly gets into the secondary. He also has the benefit of five returning starters on the offensive line — Brandon Dela Cruz, David Otani, Kenneth Peneku, Chivas Antoque and Tyson Nishihara. Shane Um, another lineman, also started several games last season.

Mililani finished the game with 296 yards rushing.

Torres' 16-yard touchdown run gave the Trojans a 6-0 lead four minutes into the game, but the extra-point attempt was blocked and Iolani answered with Dung's 68-yard TD pass to Fujioka, who finished with nine catches for 209 yards. The Raiders went up 10-6 later in the quarter on Adams' 47-yard field goal.

Mililani then took the lead for good, 13-10, on Torres' 4-yard touchdown run with 7:48 left in the half. The Trojans went up 26-10 early in the second half on Isaiah Lawelawe's 5-yard TD run.

Iolani cut it to 26-16 at the end of the third quarter on Dung's 32-yard touchdown pass to Justin Yamamoto. The two-point conversion attempt failed.
