All the Waiakea Warriors needed was a break. Once they got it, they ran with it for their first victory of the season.
Makoa Andres rushed for three touchdowns Thursday night, including the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors came from behind for a 28-24 BIIF victory against Hawaii Prep at Wong Stadium.
After the game, many Waiakea players remained on the field shouting, “We won!”
“I hope they can keep their heads on,” coach Moku Pita said. “It’s all preseason until the playoffs.”
Tevis Holi and Kelii Perez-Poai led a ground game for the Warriors (1-3 BIIF Division I, 1-6) that churned out 218 yards.
