Warriors earn top seed
Riding the momentum of a nearly perfect 11-0-1 regular season, Kamehameha earned the top seed in this week's Meadow Gold Dairies/HHSAA Boys Soccer State Championship tournament. The action kicks off Wednesday with all games at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Park complex.
The Interscholastic League of Honolulu champion Warriors, who last won the state crown in 2005, outscored opponents 41-5 during the regular season and are looking to complete the Kamehameha sweep after the girls squad claimed the state title last weekend.
The other seeded teams are No. 2 Kapolei (12-2-0) of the Oahu Interscholastic Association, No. 3 Kamehameha-Maui (15-0-2) of the Maui Interscholastic League and No. 4 Makua Lani Christian (11-4) of the Big Island Interscholastic Federation.
Defending state champion Punahou (11-1-1) claimed the 12th and final berth in the tourney by beating Baldwin on Maui on Saturday, 2-1 in double overtime.
