Three of the top four seeds in the Motiv8 Foundation/HHSAA Division I Boys Soccer State Championships are moving on to Friday's semifinals.
In Thursday's quarterfinal round at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex, top seed and defending state champion Iolani edged Kealakehe, 2-1, in double overtime. Also, second-seeded Mililani, the No. 1 team in the ScoringLive Power Rankings, posted a 2-1 win over Kekaulike. Fourth-seeded Baldwin recorded a 2-1 victory over Kalani, while the only seeded team to lose was No. 3 seed Waiakea, which suffered a 4-1 defeat to Punahou.
The Interscholastic League of Honolulu champion Raiders (10-0-2) got goals from Devin Lee (25th minute) and Mike Kostecki (95th minute) to down the Big Island Interscholastic Federation runner-up Waveriders (9-3), whose lone goal was scored by Alex Maira (72nd minute).
The Oahu Interscholastic Association champion Trojans (14-0) were powered by goals from Ethan Funtanilla (36th minute) and Kai Martin (46th minute) to dispatch Na Alii (10-3-1), the runner-up from the Maui Interscholastic League. Elias "Bubba" Emmanuel (47th minute) scored the lone goal for Kekaulike.
The MIL champion Bears (12-0-1) rallied past the Falcons (8-4-3) with second-half goals by Jorden Carbonell (46th minute) and Guiness Ruiz Rockett (80th minute). Koa Close (35th minute) accounted for the only goal by Kalani, the sixth-place team out of the OIA.
The Buffanblu (10-1-2), the ILH runner-up and No. 3 team in the ScoringLive Power Rankings, handled the BIIF champion Warriors (7-4-1) behind goals by Isaiah Kutaka (20th minute), Jack Maretzki (24th minute), Jedidiah Griffin (46th minute) and William Ruotola (58th minute).
