Kahuku remains at No. 1 in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 for a fourth week in a row.
The three-time defending Open Division state champion throttled Waimea 66-7 and collected nine of 15 first-place votes.
Though No. 2 Campbell (2-0) and No. 3 Mililani (3-0) remain unbeaten, the panel of coaches and media added one more team to the list of first-place vote recipients. Kapolei (3-0) received a first-place vote for the first time this season. Including Saint Louis, five teams have top votes this week.
Mililani secured a 26-9 win on the road at Liberty (Nev.) over the weekend, but remained at No. 3 in the poll.
Kamehameha overwhelmed Waipahu 44-6 with surprising ease and vaulted two spots to No. 6. That knocked Waipahu out of the Top 10.
Damien stifled Nanakuli 42-7, and Konawaena routed Waiakea 79-0, landing in a tie at No. 10 this week.
