Waialua running back Mila Lele carried the ball 14 times for 57 yards, including the game-tying touchdown, in a 13-12 win over Kalaheo.

The Bulldogs struck first on an eight yard pass from Royce Tashiro to Tavesi Toia, but the Mustangs rallied to score a pair of touchdowns on the ground, a 42 yard scamper by Caden Smith and a one yard plunge by John Tuitupou, to lead 12-6 at the break.

Lele broke through in the fourth quarter to tie the game on a four yard run with just under three minutes remaining, and Kamaki Lacar hit a clutch point after touchdown that proved to be the game clincher.

Kalaheo fell to 1-4 on the year, while Waialua improved to 4-2.
