This week we asked fans who they think will come out on top in the Oahu Interscholastic Association Division II championship game between Pearl City and Waipahu.

The Marauders will be seeking their 11th league crown while the Chargers are looking to capture their first-ever OIA title in football.

Pearl City (7-2) is making its first apperance in the OIA title game since back-to-back apperances in 2013 and 2014 during coach Robin Kami's first two years on the job. On the other hand, the Marauders are looking to bounce back from a 36-35 loss to Waialua in last year's league final to win their first OIA championship since 2011.

Waipahu (9-0) won the regular season matchup between the two teams in a 37-6 outing nearly five weeks ago.

@rimsonxking thinks Waipahu has the roster to counteract whatever the Chargers do. 

Tevita David Mailei thinks the Marauders will win in a similar fashion as the two teams' regular season matchup.

Jon Anuenue wants the Chargers to finally bring a football title home to Pearl City.

@uso_dolla_sign predicts the Marauders to come out on top because they haven't been challenged at all this season.

@cndz2_codakais has Pearl City roots, but has to go with the Marauders on this one.

@hotboy.hakz thinks Pearl City QB Isaiah Asinsin will be the difference maker in the rematch.

Junior McMoore expects it to be a good game between two hungry squads.

Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. at Hawaiian Tel FCU Field at Aloha Stadium.
