For West Oahu\u2019s prep football teams, the 2012 season is officially in full swing with the beginning of OIA Conference play this weekend. A look at the matchups follows.<\/p>\n

Aiea at Campbell \u2014 6 p.m. Saturday. One of the area\u2019s greatest rivalries will be renewed in a game that could also have huge implications in the Red West race. Both teams displayed plenty of offense in week one, as Aiea hung 53 on Kaimuki, while Campbell tallied 34 in a win over Kaiser. How well each team\u2019s defenses perform in this one will likely impact on how the game<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

plays out. Campbell yielded only 11 yards on the ground to Kaiser, while Aiea\u2019s defense has picked up where it left off the past two years when it established itself as one of the state\u2019s premier defenses.<\/p>\n

Campbell\u2019s offensive leaders include quarterback Justin Tago-Sue, running back Paul-Andrew Rhoden and a deep wide receiver corps that features Brannon Bantolina, Jayve Bantolina, Tristan Pebria and Kainoa Perry.<\/p>\n

For Aiea, Isaiah Hernandez-Fonoti has been equally impressive in the early-going of 2012, having thrown for three scores in the win over Kaimuki. Running backs Jalen Medeiros, Jarrel Chaviera and Mana Kaahanui balance out its offensive attack. Campbell edged Aiea 22- 18 in last year\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kapolei at Waipahu \u2014 6 p.m. Saturday. Kapolei got its season off to a rousing start with a work- manlike 28-7 road win at Pearl City in week one, thanks in large part to its offensive balance. The offense rolled up 248 yards on the ground and another 248 in the air. Indeed, four different running backs \u2014 Jacob Kukahiko, Mitchell Moses, Dylan Keomaka and Mana Reis \u2014 averaged better than 5.5 yards per carry in that game. Quarterback Aizon Kahana also managed the offense with precision, rushing for an average of 4.1 yards per attempt himself and hitting on 12 of 22 passes for 216 yards and a score. Perhaps most impressive was the Hurricanes\u2019 run defense, as they limited Pearl City to minus-5 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Waipahu dropped a hard- fought 26-13 decision to ILH team Pac-Five in week one, despite a solid per- formance by quarterback Kaimi Paredes, who rushed for 5.3 yards per attempt in addition to throwing for 63 yards and a score. This is the second of four straight home games for the Marauders, who were to host defending Division II state champion Iolani last weekend.<\/p>\n

Pearl City at Kaiser \u2014 7 p.m. Friday. The Chargers hung tough in week one against Division I Kapolei and had a bye week to help prepare for this contest at Kaiser, which will serve as their OIA White conference opener. Although this is only the first step in league play for Pearl City, the game is huge, given the rest of the schedule. With Pearl City having defeated every remaining opponent on their slate a year ago, there\u2019s an opportunity for a nice run if it can take care of business on the road this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pearl City\u2019s offensive weapons include quarter-back Travis Joe, running back David Laranol and \u201cbig-play\u201d receivers in Daicorri Briscoe and Isaac Amorin. Kaiser\u2019s attack is paced by quarterback Makana Lyman and run- ning back Kai Gonda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
