Tonight, Sue Cooley Stadium, 7 p.m.
Overview
Baldwin is trying to avoid its first winless, tieless season since going 0-9 in 1954, according to football historian Stacy Kaneshiro. The Lunas can clinch the MIL D-I title and state berth with a win — they won the first meeting 42-0. Lahainaluna is first in MIL team offense and defense, Baldwin is last in both.
Bears at a glance
Baldwin has settled on sophomore Antone Sanches at QB, and he has made strides during this rebuilding season. He is fifth in MIL passing. Joseph Randolph is eighth in MIL rushing and averages 13.5 yards per catch.
Lunas at a glance
At 7-0 overall, the Lunas are pushing for a bye in the D-I state tournament. Lyric Kahula is third in MIL passing as fellow quarterback Noa Gordon recovers from injury. Kaulana Tihada and Ian-Jay Cabanilla are Nos. 5-6 in MIL rushing.
Quotable
“It would be nice to have those guys back, but if not the players that we have now understand their role and that’s the reason they’re here — it’s next man up. I think they’re prepared for that challenge.”
— Dean Rickard, Lunas co-head coach on his team’s injury situation
