Kaiser moved up one spot to No. 1 in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser boys basketball poll Monday.
The Cougars (4-0 Oahu Interscholastic Association East) passed Punahou, which fell to No. 3 after a loss last week to then-No. 10 Mid-Pacific.
Saint Louis went 2-0 in its first two Interscholastic League of Honolulu games and rose two spots to No. 4.
Mid-Pacific climbed five spots to No. 5.
In the girls Top 10, the biggest move was by Roosevelt (6-0 OIA East), which jumped two places to No. 6. Mililani (6-1 OIA West) entered the poll for the first time this season tied at No. 10.

I wonder how Kaiser will do next year with the new Transfer rule where kids must sit out a year if they transfer schools even if they move into district.
