After weeks of pounding on the front door, the Campbell Sabers have supplanted Kahuku at No. 1.
Coaches and media voted Campbell to the top spot in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 for the first time in program history. The Sabers received seven out of 18 first-place votes following a 50-7 win over Farrington.
Three-time defending Open Division state champion Kahuku is out of the No. 1 spot for the first time in 41 weeks. After a 38-7 loss to the top team in the nation, Mater Dei (Calif.), Kahuku slipped to No. 2 despite collecting eight first-place votes.
