The ‘Iolani Raiders collected all 10 first-place votes to remain at No. 1 in the Star-Advertiser Girls Basketball Top 10.
‘Iolani continued its steamroller with big wins over Radford (57-30) and Kaiser (79-40), even after slow starts in each contest. Posts Mele Sake and Callie Pieper continue to give ‘Iolani a strong presence on the boards.
Konawaena remained at No. 2 after beating Campbell (42-26), Lahainaluna (55-51) and Maui (66-43) at the Wildcats’ tournament over the weekend.
Maryknoll routed Kahuku (46-12) and Kalani (71-9) to stay at No. 3. In a battle of teams that were tied at No. 4 last week, Lahainaluna defeated Campbell 55-42 at the Konawaena tourney.
There are no new teams in the Top 10, though Maui dropped two spots to No. 10.
