So early, so clutch.
The new-look Mililani Trojans turned to some old staples to rally for a 31-24 win over Nevada powerhouse Liberty on a soggy Friday night at John Kauinana Stadium.
Trailing 24-14 at the half with electrifying new wide receiver Zion White sidelined by an ankle injury, Mililani's defense came up with two fourth-down stops. A crucial 35-yard strike from new quarterback Hunter Fujikawa to Bless Cabrera-Hopkins set up a 1-yard TD run by Toa Sam to give the Trojans a 31-24 lead with 2:10 remaining.
Liberty's dangerous offense was ready for a down-to-the-wire finish, but Mililani defensive lineman Lincoln Uiagalelei read a middle-screen pass and came up with the interception to seal the win with 1:21 left.
"He still has never dropped a pass," Cabrera-Hopkins said, referring to his TD pass to Uiagalelei last year.
