The Honolulu Advertiser announced their latest State Girls and Boys Basketball polls and it is seems a little peculiar. Farrington sits atop the Girls Poll with a 12-0 record ahead of Punahou. Farrington got 6 first place votes compared to 5 for Punahou. Interestingly, Konawaena with a 10-0 record and defending state champion is harboring a number four position. Lahainaluna, the MIL undefeated is ahead of Kona at number three. Waiakea girls made the top ten coming in sitting at nine. In the boys poll, Kahuku another OIA undefeated (10-0) sits in the top position with 7 first place votes. Kamehameha with an 8-1 record had four first place votes. Iolani is in third followed by Kaimuki (4). Waiakea the BIIF boys leader comes in at number eight. MIL undefeated Baldwin boys makes it a number 10. We all know that the last poll of the season is what really counts, but this is the first time in many moons that the two OIA teams sits atop the polls late in the season for both the girls and boys. Unseating the ILH in both divisions in the HHSAA will be a task, but the HHSAA tournament looks to have a different look this year.
