Led by a four total touchdown evening by quarterback Trey Dacoscos, Pearl City kept its spot at the top of the OIA Division II standings with a hard fought win over Waialua, 28-20.

Dacoscos threw for 329 yards and three scores and added another on a 10 yard keeper that opened up the Chargers' scoring account in the contest.

The senior signal caller factored into every Chargers' score, registering scoring tosses to Lennor Elder, Bobby Best and the eventual game-winner to Keaton Tomas.

Waialua hung tough in the first half, scoring on a Makoakai Fierro plunge from six yards out, but the PAT failed, leaving the Bulldogs trailing by a point. Then, on the ensuing kickoff following a Chargers' score, Kaleb Rice made it one-point contest once again, going 90 yards the other way for the final score of the half.

The second half saw the Chargers establish a two score cushion via the air game, but the Bulldogs closed the gap with a late score, as Emery Abilla found Ricardo Brincker from 14 yards out, but the visiting team could not get any closer.

The Chargers racked up 406 yards of total offense compared to just 95 for the Bulldogs.
