Molokai Farmers Football won their seventh consecutive Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) eight-man title with a 59-34 win over Hana on Oct. 7. 

David Kalilikane put up big numbers with three rushing and three passing touchdowns, punctuated by two decisive rushing touchdowns to end the game. 

Christian Nip also had three touchdowns including a massive 72-yard kick return in the fourth quarter. 

Likewise contributing with touchdowns to the strong offensive performance were Clarence Tanabe, Kinohi Kaupu and Jonah Dudoit, who ran back a 68-yard punt in the third quarter. 

The Farmers ended the year 5-0 in division play, with two games left in their season. 

Girls Volleyball was also in action against Seabury Hall at the Barn with an eye on the upcoming MIL tournament. 

Friday night’s game represented Senior Night for the Lady Farmers. However, Seabury Hall was able to win both Friday and Saturday’s games by scores of 3-0, improving to 12-0 on the season with Molokai dropping to 8-4. The Lady Farmers will compete for the MIL title this weekend.
