McKinley defense
stifles Moanalua

Defensive tackle Teevale Afoa recorded two sacks and three tackles for losses to lead No. 9 McKinley to a 42-14 Oahu Interscholastic Association White victory against Moanalua last night at Roosevelt High School.

The Tigers held the Menehunes to 3 yards rushing.

"I don't think we've reached our peak yet," said McKinley head coach David Tanuvasa, whose team is a game behind first-place Castle in the White Division. "We've still got a ways to go."

Vaa Fonoti rushed for 141 yards and scored three touchdowns for the Tigers.

Moanalua was without four regular starters who were kicked off the team for allegedly taking items from junior varsity players and in some cases returning them for money.

School administrators say they are meeting to further resolve the situation.

"(The players') focus now is really on the game and on the season," Moanalua athletic director George Goto said.

Moanalua head coach Jose Guevara declined comment.
