Donovan Lee had 125 all-purpose yards for Chaminade. Nick Doctors had six solo tackles and Max Holden, Rick Gamboa, Eric Schiff and Evan Yeager each added five. Gamboa, Schiff and Gamboa all had sacks.

Enterprise quarterback Bobby Luken was intercepted four times and Justin Abney caught five passes for 34 yards for the Hornets (13-1), including a seven-yard TD reception with 10 seconds left in the game.

“Coach [Ed] Croson did an awesome job preparing us,” Kaaya said. “He analyzed their personnel up front and saw what matchups would work for us. We also had the best week of practice we’ve had all season.”

Lee’s nine-yard scoring run gave the Eagles a two-touchdown lead and his intereption return less than a minute and a half minutes later gave Chaminade a 24-3 halftime lead.
