Trojans get another shot at OIA rivals in flag football final
The Mililani flag football team’s high-octane offense was stalled Friday, but Trojans pass rusher Alizae Royelle Maialoha was in full gear. Maialoha had five sacks, and Zennalenn Nelson had a receiving touchdown and a rushing score as Mililani beat No. 4 Baldwin 13-7 in the semifinals of the Hawaii Dental Service/HHSAA Girls Flag Football Division I State Championships at Mililani.
Royelle Maialoha said she strained her right hamstring against Nanakuli in April, then made it worse by playing soccer. “I started off pretty rough because I was coming off injuries,” Royelle Maialoha said. “I’m finally feeling better.
I’m finally feeling at my best. I know I can get there and that’s all I think about during games. ” Mililani, the OIA’s fifth-place team, will play Moanalua for the title today at 7 p.
m. at Mililani. Moanalua beat Mililani 31-13 on May 1.
“We just have to execute on both sides, offense and defense. Hopefully, we can do that and we’ll see what happens,” Mililani coach Edwin Cera said. The Trojans averaged 32 points in their past four games.
