‘Iolani a near unanimous No. 1, Radford enters Girls Basketball Top 10

After sharing the No. 1 spot with Konawaena, ‘Iolani is an outright top team in the past five Star-Advertiser Girls Basketball Top 10 polls. Front, from left: Keiki McGee, Haylie-Anne Ohta, Paige Oh, Keely Kai, Abby Tanaka. Back: Kanoe Hanohano, Mele Sake, Jovi Lefotu, Callie Pieper, Jaety Mandaquit.

‘Iolani is an outright No. 1 again in the Star-Advertiser Girls Basketball Top 10 on Monday.

The Raiders (3-2) have not played since Dec. 20, when they overwhelmed Campbell, 59-27. With the cancellation of two preseason games and the postponement of the ILH regular season for one week, ‘Iolani’s next game is on Jan. 11 against Kamehameha.

Konawaena is No. 2 and will host Honokaa on Tuesday in its BIIF opener. Maryknoll, Maui and Kamehameha fill out the top five. Maui (6-1) moved up two notches after a 61-21 win over Kamehameha-Maui last week.


Punahou, Lahainaluna, Waiakea, Hilo and Radford round out the Top 10. No. 10 Radford overpowered Waianae and Nanakuli last week, and will meet Waialua on Wednesday.

Kahuku lost to Kaiser, 47-29, in its OIA East opener last week and dropped out of this week’s Top 10.
