Trailing 36-35, Castle's KJ Aipia penetrated and passed it out to Tuamoheloa, who was open in the left corner, and he hit the game-winner.
Kailua turned it over on their ensuing possession.
Castle improved to 14-3 and Kailua fell to 14-4. Both teams had already qualified for next week's Division II state tournament, which starts on Wednesday.
