Behind a strong first half and a trio of touchdowns from quarterback Kekoa Ilagan-LeBlanc, the Waveriders (4-4 overall, 4-2 BIIF D-I) wiped out Waiakea 33-24 on homecoming night, running their win streak to four while also punching their ticket to the BIIF championship game.
It was only a year ago that Kealakehe was on the wrong side of the same game against the Warriors, losing 29-14 and missing out on their first BIIF title game since 2001.
This time around, the Waveriders would not be denied, although the Warriors (1-8, 0-6 BIIF DI) didn’t make it easy toward the end.
