Kamehameha Warriors baseball team secured the No. 1 spot in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser Baseball Top 10 poll, collecting 8 of 9 first-place votes. The Warriors edged out Saint Louis Crusaders 3-2 to widen their lead in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH). Meanwhile, the ILH has revised its softball schedule, extending the regular season by one week and rescheduling postponed games due to recent Kona low rain and floods.

Why it matters

The Kamehameha-Saint Louis rivalry is one of the most closely watched high school baseball matchups in Hawaii, with both teams consistently ranked among the state's best. The ILH's decision to revise the softball schedule ensures that all postponed games can be made up before the state championships, maintaining the integrity of the league's regular season and postseason.

The details

Kamehameha's 4-0 ILH record (13-2 overall) was enough to secure the No. 1 ranking, while Saint Louis dropped to No. 5 after losing to Mid-Pacific. Mid-Pacific leaped five spots to No. 3 after a pair of impressive wins. In the OIA, the away team has been winning in the new home-and-away series, with Moanalua, Aiea, and Leilehua all picking up road victories. In softball, Mililani remains the unanimous No. 1 team, while Kalani moved up two spots after a big win over Moanalua.

  • Kamehameha is 4-0 in ILH play (13-2 overall).
  • The ILH has extended the softball regular season from April 9 to April 16 to make up postponed games.
  • The ILH softball playoffs will now conclude on April 28.
