Football Top 10: OIA playoffs start, ILH winds down

Every field thunder dome. The OIA returns with the opening round of playoffs this week. The ILH takes one more step toward finality. Kahuku enters its battle with Campbell as the No. 1 team in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 this week. Kahuku (6-3 overall, 4-0 OIA Open Division) collected all 12 first-place votes from coaches and media. Saint Louis remains at No. 2 as it heads into its first home game at Kalaepohaku in 15 years this weekend. The Crusaders are 2-1 in league play and need to beat Punahou and force a tiebreaker game with Kamehameha for the ILH Open title and a state-tournament berth. If Punahou wins, Kamehameha becomes the outright ILH Open champion. ILH Division I champion Damien picked up a few more votes but remains outside the Top 10.
