Austin Ewing felt the pressure, escaped the pocket, veered to his left and calmly flicked a pass to Tristan Fleming-Nazara in the end zone.
Playing with the poise of a veteran, one never would have known Ewing was making his first BIIF start.
The sophomore tossed three touchdown passes Friday night, Algene Kelekolio ran for three scores and the Wildcats stuffed Waiakea 57-17 at Wong Stadium.
Ewing’s first touchdown pass was wiped out by a penalty, as was a long Cameron Howes kickoff return to open the game, but Ewing more than made up for it in the second quarter.
