No doubt for the red-hot Saint Louis Crusaders.

No. 2 Baldwin and No. 5 Waiakea also collected first-place votes. Baldwin is 9-0 in Maui Interscholastic League play (11-2 overall). Waiakea is 5-0 in Big Island Interscholastic Federation action.


Kalani returned to the rankings at No. 10 after wins over Farrington and Kailua. The Falcons replaced Pearl City, which dropped out after a close loss to Mililani.

    What happened to Iolani baseball? How did they get so bad the past couple years when they still have lots of talent on the roster? It has been asked on other pages and social media but nobody really has a straight answer.
