St. Louis takes on Punahou this Friday




After a bye week, Saint Louis' high-powered offense returns to the field Friday night against Punahou in a crucial Interscholastic League of Honolulu contest at Aloha Stadium.

Kickoff is about 7:45 p.m.

The Crusaders (4-1 overall 2-0 ILH), ranked second in the ScoringLive-OC16 Football Power Rankings, lead the state with 224 points scored.

Meanwhile, the No. 4 Buffanblu (3-0, 1-0) have played only three games entering Week 6 of the high school football season. But their defense has been prolific, allowing just six points in 12 quarters.

Punahou's defense will be challenged by a Saint Louis offense that features one of the better quarterbacks in the state in Marcus Mariota, who averages 196.2 yards per game and has thrown a state-leading 13 touchdown passes. He also is a threat to run, averaging 8.4 yards per carry.

Wide receiver Duke Bukoski, an Advertiser all-state selection last season, in among the state's top receivers with 18 catches for 356 yards and four TDs.

Punahou's defense allows an average of 156.7 yards per game.

Also at Aloha Stadium Friday, No. 9 'Iolani takes on Pac-Five at 5 p.m.

Since getting toasted at Mililani almost a month ago, the Raiders (4-1, 2-0) have given up only six points in their last three games. The score came in last week's 13-6 win against defending Division I state champion Kamehameha.

First-year starting QB Reece Foy has passed for 937 yards and 11 TDs for the Raiders.
The Wolf Pack (1-3, 0-1) are trying to snap a three-game losing streak.
