Due to their three consecutive Division II state championships, next season the Spartans — by ILH rule — will be moving up to Division I in the ILH and fighting for a berth in the D-I state tournament. Instead of teams such as Pac-Five and Damien as its main obstacles in D-II, Maryknoll will have to play the iron of the league — Mid-Pacific, Kamehameha, ‘Iolani among […]
