A bye week was a productive week for the Kamehameha Warriors on the field and in the rankings.

The Warriors remained at No. 1 in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 for a third consecutive week, collecting a season-high nine first-place ballots from the panel of coaches and media.

For the first time since 2016, Saint Louis did not receive a single No. 1 vote. The Crusaders remained at No. 2 for a second week in a row after edging No. 5 Punahou 27-21 on Friday.

No. 3 Mililani, which played an intrasquad scrimmage last week, collected two first-place votes. Kahuku is at No. 4 again and garnered one first-place vote. The Red Raiders scrimmaged Kamehameha on Saturday, dominating the Warriors’ reserve units.

Saint Louis and Kamehameha square off this Friday for first place in the ILH regular-season standings. The winner will earn a first-round bye in the playoffs. The loser will meet Punahou in the opening round on Oct. 22.

The OIA schedule kicks off on Friday with Open Division and D-II matchups. Mililani will host Waianae, Kahuku will visit No. 8 Kapolei and No. 6 Campbell will entertain Farrington. Junior varsity games begin at 5 p.m., with varsity to follow.
