Kahuku shows uncanny ability to pull out wins

Along with their red T-shirts, red-and-white pom poms and glittery poster board signs, the thousands of Kahuku High School football fans making the trek to Aloha Stadium for tomorrow's state semifinal game against Farrington should remember to pack one more thing:

High-blood pressure medicine.

Because if the 4 p.m. showdown is anything like the Red Raiders' past three games, hearts will be racing in the fourth quarter.

Kahuku, the state's only Division I unbeaten team at 11-0, has reached this point only after an O'ahu Interscholastic Association playoff run that included a goal-line stand in the closing seconds against Mililani, a game-winning touchdown with 27 seconds remaining vs. Castle and a fourth-quarter, two-TD rally to edge Leilehua in the championship game.
