BALDWIN, LUNAS SET FOR STATE TOURNEY

(Nov. 4): They don't yet know exactly who they will be playing, but Baldwin and Lahainaluna do know when and where they will begin their bids for state football titles.

The good news for local fans, in these days of expense air fares, is that both teams will open their bids before the home folks at War Memorial Stadium.

Baldwin was seeded third in Division-I and will meet the winner of the OIA third-place game between defending state champion Leilehua and Waianae in a first-round game on Nov. 21. The Bears have lost in the semifinals of the previous two state tournaments to the eventual state champion.

The top seed in D-I went to the ILH champ – either Punahou or St. Louis – and second seed to the OIA champ – either Farrington or Kahuku. Kealakehe of the Big Island was seeded fourth.

In D-II, Lahainaluna received the second seed and will draw a bye in the opening round before facing the winner of the Kauai High vs. OIA No. 2 team – either Radford or Campbell – in the semis on Nov. 28.

The top seed went to ILH champ Iolani, which defeated the Lunas in last year's D-II title game. Kauai High was seeded third and the OIA champ fourth.
