I think Kailua might have the best and most consistent history out of all OIA teams. They feel like a state tournament mainstay. We’ve beaten them a couple of times in state championship games.

@gopunahou:

You might very well be right, although Mililani might have something to say about that. Pearl City has been pretty decent over the years, too.
But, as far as this year's D1 State tourney is concerned, the question is: Might Kailua run out of pitching?

Congrats to Pearl City on winning their first ever boys volleyball title, over Seabury Hall in 4 sets. Apparently, this D2 title is the first boys volleyball title, either D1 or D2, for an OIA school since 1979 (when Roosevelt won). It was mentioned on Scoring Live.

@ChadFukuoka:

Well, from the early-'80s to the present, Punahou has pretty-much dominated boys' volleyball. Once classification began, obviously the other private schools went-on to dominate D2. I'm glad Pearl City won, as I prefer that school to Seabury Hall School.

@ChadFukuoka:

Those judo titles Moanalua won, are they OIA titles or State titles?

Kailua alumni must be pissed about the baseball team's 17-5 loss to Baldwin last night. As I thought might happen, Kailua apparently ran-out of pitching, surrendering 17 hits.

State titles. I edited my previous post to show that. I don't follow judo or even know the rules. I remember when I was in high school, Roosevelt and Pearl City were also good at judo. I'm not sure how both schools are doing now.

@ChadFukuoka:

If those are State titles, Moanalua has shown that judo is one sport in which they can kick Punahou's butts. And, Moanalua has been good in judo for at least several years. Meanwhile, Pearl City has been good in judo for at least 4 decades.

Congrats to Punahou on winning the boys volleyball state D1 title over Moanalua.

Congrats to Waiakea on winning the state D1 baseball title over Baldwin 3-2.

Congrats to Damien on winning the state D2 baseball title over Waimea 10-5. Damien's record is quite deceiving, they entered the tournament only at 2-12, and finished at 5-12, but that is due to them mostly playing D1 teams in ILH regular season play. Almost all of their opponents were in a division higher than them.

I think playing the big boys of the ILH sharpened Damien and gave them a valuable edge.

If people are hoping to see an OIA school take home a state championship, next week is the week. OIA teams have won the majority of softball titles.

Well, at least Pearl City's boys have been good. Don't know about the girls; they didn't place in the Top 10. The boys placed 5th.

@gopunahou:

Well, Iolani is now ranked tied for #1. As a Punahou alumnus, you probably don't want to hear that. I don't care for Iolani School either, so I'm not thrilled. Anyway, there's a chance Iolani might take the D1 State title. Maryknoll is also in the D1 Tourney; I don't really want to see them win it, either, though I'd rather they win it than Iolani. There are 3 OIA schools in the D1 Tourney that I think can beat Iolani: Kapolei, Mililani, and Campbell. We'll see what happens.

In the D1 State softball tourney, Campbell beat Maui High, 3-1. If Campbell is to have any hope of beating Iolani, they're going to have to do better than that. And, Campbell's 3 runs were aided by 4 Maui High errors. They're going to have to do better. They're going to have to swing the bat better, specifically.

Meanwhile, also in D1, Mililani run-ruled Kalani, 13-3. At the moment, Mililani is looking very much like an Iolani - beater. They produced 15 hits and committed only 1 error. In this game, Mililani showed hitting, pitching (surrendering 3 runs on 2 hits), and D.
