Advertiser Staff Writer

HAWAI'I KAI — Ikaika Gante ran for 172 yards and three touchdowns to lead 'Anuenue to a 41-12 win over Kalani at Kaiser stadium last night.

It was the O'ahu Interscholastic Association White Division finale for both teams. Na Koa finished 1-8, 1-7 in the White. Kalani, playing its first game since Sept. 12, ended its season at 0-8.

Kalani had forfeited its previous four games because it did not have enough players, but promoted most of its junior varsity for the game.

'Anuenue, which jumped out to a 28-0 lead after the first quarter, finished with 388 rushing yards on 34 carries.

Gante scored on touchdown runs of 56, 22 and 71 yards.

Kainoa Keana'aina rushed for two touchdowns of 14 and 69 yards, and Kaipo Cullen added a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown for Na Koa.

Kalani's Matt Shishido scored on a 40-yard run and teammate Michael DiSeria added a 1-yard TD run.
