Punahou moved up 56 spots to No. 75 in the MaxPreps computer national rankings released Sunday.
Hawaii’s top-ranked team, the Buffanblu (6-0, 3-0 Interscholastic League of Honolulu Division I) are the only team in state in MaxPreps’ top 100. They’re coming off a 51-46 double-overtime win over then-No. 1 Saint Louis (4-1, 2-1 ILH D-I), which dropped 72 spots to No. 204.
Mililani, a 45-21 winner over Kailua, dropped out of the top 100, falling 42 places to No. 135. The Trojans (6-1, 6-0 Oahu Interscholastic Association D-I) were as high as No. 6 earlier in the season.
