OIA playoff picture starts taking shape


The Oahu Interscholastic Association's 12-team Red football tournament starts Oct. 14 to 15 with seven of the berths settled.

In the East, Farrington clinched the top seed with its 14-13 win against Kahuku Saturday night. The Red Raiders have clinched the second seed. Both will draw first-round byes for the OIA tournament, as will West top seed Leilehua and second seed Campbell.

Kailua is the East's third seed and will host the West's sixth seed in an opening-round game the weekend of Oct. 14 to 15. East fourth seed Moanalua will host the West fifth seed, while East fifth seed Castle will travel to the West's fourth seed.

The winner of this weekend's Roosevelt-Kaiser game will earn the East's sixth seed.

Meanwhile, the West is in a logjam with five teams vying for the four remaining seeds. Mililani, Aiea and Waianae all are 2-3, while Kapolei is done with regular season play at 2-4. At 1-4, Radford faces the toughest challenge because it must beat Waianae this weekend to stay alive.

The OIA added on more team from each division to the Red tournament this season. Last year, the top three teams drew first-round byes.

In the four-team White tournament, Kaimuki and Pearl City, both 6-0, and 5-1 Waipahu have secured the top three berths. The fourth seed is still up for grabs.
