KEA‘AU — Business was booming for Kamehameha Schools-Hawai‘i football on Thursday night against Pahoa. The Warriors routed the Daggers 59-0 in Kea‘au. It was the second time KSH shut out Pahoa.
In the Warriors eighth consecutive victory, quarterback Adam Perry had another strong showing — completing 19 of his 20 attempts for 161 yards and three touchdowns — two to receiver Clay Ching and another to Shiloh Santos.
KSH’s running game was stout as usual, as senior star Xander Hoopai rushed for two scores. Perry also rushed for another touchdown.
