Greg Yamamoto | SL

Campbell secured its spot in the OIA Division I title game and got some revenge in the process, handing seventh ranked Aiea its first loss in league play, 25-18, 25-21, 18-25, 25-16.

The Sabers led two sets to none but ended up dropping a five-set match to Na Alii on March 20, and won the first two sets this time around as well.

There would be no reverse sweep for Na Alii, however, as the Sabers won the fourth set handily, 25-16, powered by a 6-2 scoring run in the fourth, punctuated by a Christian Cruz kill on match point.

Julius Momoe-Mitchell put down a match-high 22 kills and added 12 digs and two blocks to pace the Sabers, who also got 13 kills from Iverson Kuresa and seven kills a piece from Cruz and Mozaic Mulipola. Setter Kitiona Uli had 44 assists to go along with four kills, four digs and four total blocks.

Na Alii were led by Khendel Scully's 18 kills and 19 assists, who were seeking a first-ever league title in boys voleyball.

In the first semifinal, Moanalua dropped the opening set to Mililani before taking the next three sets to reach the championship match, 23-25, 25-18, 25-17, 25-15.

Na Menehune, who have won the last five OIA Division I titles and 14 overall, had a trio of hitters in double figures, Lionel Gannon (17 kills, 3 blocks, 2 aces), Ezekiel Afalava-Sablan (15 kills, 3 blocks, 2 aces) and Luke Jones (10 kills, 7 blocks).

Malu Wilcox dished out 45 assists and added two kills and a block solo.

Mililani last league crown came in 2017.

All four teams will represent the OIA in the upcoming state tournament.
