KEAAU — DallasJ Duarte put just enough air on his pass as to give Makana Manoa ample time to run under it. When the ball came down, Kamehameha had a 40-yard scoring play and a little breathing room early in the third quarter. Most important, the Warriors had all the more peace of mind about its quarterback situation as it turns to the regular season.
Making his second career start, Duarte passed for three touchdowns Thursday night, and the the Warriors pulled away from a first-half slug fest with Waiakea for a 38-14 victory at Paiea Stadium to close an undefeated preseason.
