Farrington finds a way

Harry Tuimaseve rushed for 178 yards on a season-high 36 carries to power Farrington, which did not complete a pass in five attempts.

Castle (6-5) closed the season with an iron-man performance from several two-way starters, including Kehano, who had 11 receptions for 150 yards. The senior scored on two touchdown passes and a 72-yard punt return, the latter bringing Castle within 28-20 with 2:20 left in the third quarter.

Farrington, which outlasted Castle 19-8 in early September, punted on its next two possessions before Faamausili had tight coverage on Kehano’s out route. The senior’s pick and return, with a vault over a tackler at the goal line, was a backbreaker that gave Farrington a 35-20 lead with 1:15 to play.

“That interception just broke the game wide open,” Castle coach Nelson Maeda said. “The pass was a little late.”

Farrington’s pass rush did the rest, with five sacks: two by V.J. Fehoko, and one each by Seth Ilae, Keith Chargualaf-Tuillapea and Justin Vele. Moments later, Shane Dsio stripped the ball away on Castle’s kick return and ran 27 yards for a touchdown.
