Moanalua (11-0) and Mililani (10-0), tied for No. 4 in the latest Honolulu Star-Advertiser Top 10, earned the top seeds out of each division. No. 6 Kahuku (9-1), which hosts Kailua tonight, and No. 9 Kapolei (9-1) are the No. 2 seeds and will receive a first-round bye.

Farrington (7-3) needs a victory over winless Anuenue (0-10) tonight to earn the No. 3 seed in the East with Kaiser (7-4) finishing as the No. 4 seed.

Roosevelt’s four-set victory over Kalaheo on Tuesday could make a difference as the Rough Riders (5-5) need a win over McKinley tonight to finish tied with the Mustangs in the standings. The head-to-head tiebreaker would give Roosevelt the No. 5 seed and Kalaheo the No. 6 seed out of the East.

The Tigers are a tough test though as McKinley, at 7-3 overall, has run away with the top seed in Division II.


Castle (3-8) has been eliminated from playoff contention in Division I. Kalani (5-6) and Kailua (2-8) are the other East teams to advance to the Division II playoffs.

Out West, Waianae (8-2) is the No. 3 seed with Nanakuli (5-5) earning the head-to-head tiebreaker over Aiea (5-5) for the No. 4 seed due to a five-set win on Sept. 4.

Leilehua (4-6) is the No. 6 seed with Radford (2-8) eliminated.


Campbell (6-4) finished a game ahead of Pearl City (5-5) for the No. 1 seed in Division II with Waialua (1-9) also making the playoffs.
