Boys' Basketball: Voters don’t flinch after Raiders lose to national powers Montrose, Fairley
Posted at 02:51 PM
Undeterred, the Iolani Raiders continue to march on. Two tough losses in the Iolani Prep Classic did nothing to derail the Raiders’ status in the HondaReport.com Top Ten poll. By Paul Honda HONOLULU—Two losses later, the Iolani Raiders have lost not a single believer. Iolani, which nearly upset national powerhouse Montrose Christian and fell to Tennessee titan Fairley (Memphis) in the Iolani Prep Classic, garnered all 14 first-place votes in today’s HondaReport.com Boys’ Basketball Top Ten poll. Iolani has a safe distance from Punahou, which edged Kamehameha to take the No. 2 spot. Punahou amassed 107 voter points and Kamehameha tallied 106. The Warriors traded places with Punahou despite a 50-46 win over the Buffanblu nearly two weeks ago. Kalaheo, which pushed Florida’s No. 1-ranked team, Dr. Phillips, into double overtime before losing 64-61, remained at No. 4. Kalaheo’s near-upset was somewhat neutralized by a 60-48 loss to Punahou on the final day of the Iolani Prep Classic. Mililani, which has a win over Kamehameha in preseason, zoomed from 15th to No. 5. Rounding out the HRC Top Ten are Leilehua, Kaimuki, Saint Louis, Maui and Kea’au.
