Radford all-purpose Blaise Manabe scored on an 85 yard kickoff return and added a touchdown reception in a 35-0 win over Waialua,  as the Rams completed an undefeated regular season and clinched the top seed in the upcoming playoffs.

The Rams jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, with Manabe's two scores bookending a Kodi Ongory-Mathias touchdown run from 16 yards out.

Quarterback Quintin Iriarte accounted for three total touchdowns for the Rams, who only gained 265 yards in total offensively, but held the Bulldogs to just 89.

Waialua fell to 5-4 in the OIA D2 standings, but can still qualify for the league playoffs with a Kalani loss to Nanakuli.
