LIHU‘E — In the second KIF preseason football game Saturday night at Vidinha Stadium, the Kaua‘i High School Red Raiders came out strong and never looked back with a dominant win over the Waialua Bulldog 43-0.
There was nothing subtle about the Red Raider attack as they immediately threw the ball down field with quarterback Trey Aguano hitting wide receiver Desmond Souza for a 20-yard pass putting Kaua‘i on the Bulldog 9-yard line. Running back Reggie McFaddon did the rest, punching it in for the rushing touchdown giving the Red Raiders a 7-0 lead.
It didn’t take McFaddon long to strike again, as on the very next Red Raider possession he exploded for a 41-yard touchdown run putting Kaua‘i up 14-0, which it stayed through the first quarter of play.
The Red Raider defense decided it wanted to get into the action as linebacker Marcus Martinez sacked Waialua quarterback Taleon Lele in the Bulldog endzone for the safety making it 16-0 in favor of the Red Raiders.
With the Kaua‘i defense holding strong, the Red Raider’s decided to take to the air again, as Aguano connected with wide receiver Pono Bukoski on a sensational fully extended diving catch in the end zone for the 27-yard touchdown. Kaua‘i missed the extra point leaving the score at 22-0.
Aguano had two touchdown passes on the night.
With his third rushing touchdown in the game, McFaddon and the Red Raiders went into the half with a 36-0 lead.
Coming out of halftime Kaua‘i picked up where they left off as Alvin Honorato picked up a blocked punt attempt and returned it for the touchdown leaving the Red Raiders with a 43-0 lead.
The Red Raiders finished with six touchdowns and one safety on the night.
