LIHUE — Lihue Red Raiders Mitey Mites quarterback Racen Pegeder ran for two touchdowns to lead the Red Raiders to a 16-6 showing over the Koloa Redskins Mitey Mites Sunday during the Kauai Pop Warner Football League games at Vidinha Stadium.
Pegeder broke a 0-0 deadlock in the second quarter, peeling off touchdown runs of 37 and 33 yards, respectively. He also graced each score by booting the point-after for a 16-0 lead at the break.
Koloa prevented the shutout when Benjamin Baxter bulled a yard into the end zone with 3:21 remaining in the contest.
Koloa Redskins Junior Varsity quarterback Chet Pimsaguan went to the airways, hitting receivers in the end zone for all of its touchdowns in Koloa’s 35-0 win over the Kapaa Eagles in the first of two JV matches.
Pimsaguan hit Lono Kaneko for 13 yards to get Koloa on the scoreboards and followed that with a connection to Robbie Correa for nine yards. Greg Manintin found the end zone on the ground for the point-after to give Koloa an early 13-0 bulge.
With 5:22 showing in the half, Pimsaguan connected with Keanu Fernandez for the first time in the game for a 14-yard score. Joey Sams split the uprights on the point-after for the 21-0 lead at the break.
Coming out of halftime, Pimsaguan found Fernandez at the end of a four-yard touchdown to trigger the running clock. That did not stop Koloa because Pimsaguan found Manintin for a 6-yard score, Sams doing the point-after boot for the 35-0 final.
Makoa Vanaman picked up three touchdowns, and Elijah Henderson added two more scores to lead the Hanapepe Colts Junior Varsity to a 40-6 win over the Lihue Red Raiders JV in the second JV match of the day.
Lihue quarterback Ellsworth Kaleiohi II handed the pigskin to Carter Chihara who bulled a yard to the end zone, ending the first half 16-6.
Hanapepe quarterback Sean Mullikin connected with Vanaman for 32 yards in the first quarter, Mulliien doing the point-after boot.
Mullikin followed that opening score with a 13-yard scoring hit to Vanaman in the second quarter, repeating the point-after boot for the 16-6 first-half margin.
Late in the third quarter, Mullikin hit Henderson on a 2-yard score, gracing the touchdown with another point-after kick with 2:54 showing in the quarter.
Hanapepe opened the final quarter with two scores, Mullikin hitting Henderson for 23 yards and gracing the touchdown with a point-after boot. He closed the day on a 4-yard hit to Vanaman and triggered the running clock with another point-after kick.
