The Farrington Governors have a state football tournament and a dream of winning a championship.

But all that has been put aside with the disappearance of Dayne Ortiz. The 6-foot, 171-pound senior cornerback has been missing since going kayaking early Saturday. As of Sunday afternoon, there had not been any good news about Ortiz. The Coast Guard and Honolulu Fire Department searched for Ortiz, whose kayak was reportedly overturned around 6 p.m. on Saturday. His unmanned kayak washed ashore later.

"They’ve been unsuccessful at finding him. He wasn’t at practice yesterday so I was concerned. He’s the type who’d be there," Farrington coach Randall Okimoto said on Sunday morning at the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA State Football Championships press conference. "Our concern is for the family. We send our prayers to them. A lot of our players and coaches are out there supporting the family. I’m gonna head there. He’s one of our most improved players this year."

Farrington (8-3) is coming off a 37-6 loss to Mililani in the OIA Red final. The Governors will depart for Maui to play MIL champion Baldwin (6-4) on Friday in the first round of the Division I tournament.

Last year, the Govs went off-island and ousted Kealakehe 34-25 before falling to eventual state champion Kahuku in the semifinals.

In 2011, they lost to Baldwin 28-24 at War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku. In ’09, they traveled to the Big Island and downed Honokaa 48-16 in an opening-round game played at Kealakehe’s field.

In ’07, Farrington lost to Baldwin 26-14 in another opening-round state-tourney matchup at War Memorial.

Preparing for this week’s game could be a difficult task for the Govs.

"We just gotta come together, unite more, even more than we were before. This team has come a long way. We’ve experienced some ups and downs this season and this team has always shown resiliency. It doesn’t stop now. There’s nothing we can do but play harder and play united. Getting our hearts right. We don’t know what the real outcome is. He might be found someplace. But if the worst happens, then we’ll be thankful for the time we spent with this young man."

The Baldwin-Farrington victor will meet top-seeded Punahou on Nov. 15.

The other D-I matchup pits Campbell (8-3) against Hilo (10-1), also on Friday, at Keaau High School field. The site is roughly 10 miles east of Hilo and rain is the norm at this time of year. The Sabers had to outlast Kahuku 28-7 on Saturday to secure third place in the OIA Red and the final berth.

"We’re fortunate. We’re one of the few teams still playing," Campbell coach Amosa Amosa said. "I believe Hilo fits in that Farrington/Kahuku mold. Their front seven is the heart of the defense. They’re pretty strong. They rely heavily on the running game."

Hilo, under coach David Baldwin, has the Viks on a nine-game winning streak. His team’s old-school approach fits the personnel, which includes running back Tristan Spikes.

"He’s our work horse," Baldwin said, noting that weather of any type will be fine with his team. "We’ve played in all those conditions in Hilo. We like it wet."

Baldwin, who previously coached at Kamehameha-Hawaii, has seen Campbell in action.

"Amosa Amosa and his staff have truly done a wonderful job. He was a heck of a player and he’s a heck of a coach. They’re fundamentally sound in all three phases of the game. They have a potent, attacking offense, a swarming defense and they have a special teams that create problems for you. I’m probably not going to get any sleep this week."

The Campbell-Hilo winner will play Mililani on Nov. 15.

The D-II bracket turned out to be a surprise to some. Lahainaluna drew the top seed and six-time defending champion ‘Iolani is second. Third-seeded Kauai (8-0) will host Pearl City (7-4) on Saturday in a 2 p.m. game, with the winner to play at ‘Iolani.

Coach Tommy Cox became the new coach at Kauai this year after assisting since 2008.

"We went through changing coaches and all of that. I brought up the JV and I tried to keep the whole staff together and I think it worked out fine," Cox said. "KIF’s a tough league. We don’t get as much respect as I think we deserve, but that’s all right. We know we can do it out there."

The Red Raiders saw Pearl City play on Friday.

"We don’t know much about them. We’ll go to work and break down that tape," he said.

Kaiser (10-1), the dominant OIA White champion, is seeded fourth and will host Konawaena (9-2), the BIIF champion. Cougars coach Rich Miano was the only coach not present at Sunday’s press conference.

The Kaiser-Konawaena winner will travel to play Lahainaluna on Sept. 16.

Kaiser has been ranked in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 for several weeks and recently capped an unbeaten run in the OIA White with a 41-21 win over Pearl City. Getting a lower seed than Kauai puzzled some Cougars fans, but in previous years, the seeding committee has often rewarded teams that have historical success at the state tourney. Though they won the Prep Bowl in 1979, this is Kaiser’s first venture into the state championships.

Whatever the case, Konawaena brings a team that has won three league titles in a row, all under coach Trent Walters.

"Kaiser’s a big, strong, tough team. They’re balanced and they have highly skilled players who are bigger than us and faster than us. It’s going to take nothing short of magic to get by them," Walters said.

Former Konawaena quarterback Lii Karratti has been at the controls for Kaiser this season. His replacement, Brandon Howes, has fared comparably for the Wildcats.

"I know him very well. He threw for almost 3,000 yards last year for us and Brandon’s thrown for almost 3,000 yards this year," Walters said.
