Ranked teams went 2-2 on the opening weekend of the prep football season, causing a major shakeup at the bottom of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 released today. Waianae, which beat defending Division I state champion Waipahu, made the biggest jump into the Top 10 checking in at No. 7. The Seariders hadn’t been ranked since losing to the Marauders to open the 2018 season. Leilehua, which shut out Farrington 35-0 and looked smooth in doing so, is at […]
