Orem cornerback Javoni Halalilo returned an interception 64 yards for a touchdown as Utah powerhouse Orem stifled Kamehameha 16-7 on a blustery Friday night at Kunuiakea Stadium.
His big play opened the scoring in the first quarter. In a defensive battle, the 6-foot-2 Halalilo credited preparation in the film room.
"That's all we've been doing. Every day, watching the film, watching same play over and over. I read it and I went with it. Maybe he underestimated us a little bit," said Halalilo, who also had a pick-6 last year. "In week five. I feel good. I'm grateful. We lift this to the Lord."
The visiting Tigers are ranked No. 5 overall in Utah (MaxPreps) and No. 1 in 5A. Kamehameha is No. 3 in the Star-Advertiser Top 10.
The Warriors' game plan of tough defense and a ground-and-pound offense made sense. Orem's offense did not score a TD until the final quarter, but Kamehameha had two crucial turnovers that led to 10 Orem points.
