WAIMEA — It was no secret that both Kealakehe and Hawaii Prep had nothing to play for in terms of postseason implications on Saturday. That didn’t stop either squad from battling until the final seconds of their BIIF seasons.
Kealakehe rushed for 173 yards as a team, led by a 72-yard effort by Swope Conn, and downed Hawaii Prep 15-3 in both teams’ season finales.
Conn, a junior back, also found the end zone on a short touchdown plunge in the second half to give the Waveriders some insurance points. Quarterback Anthony Trevino was 8 of 17 passing in the Waimea wind, but caught a touchdown in the first half.
