History was made on the gridiron Wednesday afternoon as Kamehameha defeated Punahou, 19-0, to win the inaugural Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) girls flag football championship at Alexander Field.
The Warriors were led by the dynamic duo of Hayden Ka’ahanui-Cera and Alexia Medeiros, who connected for several highlight-reel plays — including a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to seal the shutout victory.
With the win, Kamehameha (6-1) becomes the league’s first-ever girls flag football champion, capping a historic season for the new sport in the ILH.
Despite the result, both Kamehameha and Punahou (6-2) who are 1-1 against each other this season have both secured berths in the upcoming HHSAA State Championship tournament, set to run from April 30 to May 3.
