Koloa Rams and the Kapa‘a Eagles Peewee teams had 33-0 wins, and the Lihu‘e Patriot Midgets were a 25-0 winner over Kekaha to set the stage for Saturday’s games at the New Kapa‘a Town Park stadium.

Dade Apao iced the Patriots’ victory with a 37-yard run to paydirt in the third period with Doi splitting the uprights on the PAT as the Kaua‘i Pop Warner Association hosted five games.
That victory improves Lihu‘e to a tie with the Hanapepe Colts at 4-1 and 8 points for the lead in the Midget division of the Kaua‘i Pop Warner Association.
Kekaha, tied with Kapa‘a at 1-4 and two points, will go up against Hanapepe in a noon matchup while Kapa‘a goes up against Lihu‘e starting at 2 p.m.
Rashaan Kuhaulua threw for two touchdowns and Leevi Bethel ran for a touchdown and a point-after to lead the Kapa‘a Eagles Peewee to a 33-0 win over the Lihu‘e Patriots.

Kuhaulua hit Matthew Cummings with a 12-yard aerial midway through the second period with Bethel running in the point-after.
He followed that with a 41-yard scoring scamper for the 27-0 halftime lead.
With 4:14 showing in the third period, Kuhaulua pushed the clock into running time with a 53-yard hit to Cummings for the 33-0 final.
Earlier in the day, Trey Aguano ran for two touchdowns and passed for another and a point-after as the Koloa Rams took a 33-0 win over the Hanapepe Colts.

Michael Gabriel pushed the clock into running time with just 41 ticks showing in the third period with a 31-yard run to the end zone.

A 1-yard touchdown by Hanapepe Colts JPW’s Chavis Garma pulled the black-and-gold back in the game with 3:09 showing, but Kevin Tacazon’s point-after run came up a point short as the Koloa JPW took a 14-13 win into the locker room.
Lopeka Ventura opened the scorebooks with an 86-yard touchdown run in the opening quarter with Jenson Hanohano’s extra point book giving Koloa an 8-0 lead at the buzzer.
