Lunas officially announced as No. 2 seed in D-II

It didn't become official until it was announced during the waning moments of the Nanakuli-Radford snoozefest (0-0 midway through third quarter, eventually, mercifully won 21-6 by Radford) that passed as the OIA White Division (II) championship game, but Lahainaluna is the No. 2 seed in the Chevron/HHSAA state tournament, something we knew on Monday.

A couple of twists were thrown their way, however. The Lunas will open as the higher seed against the Nanakuli-Konawaena winner, but the game will be at Aloha Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 17, when and where both semifinals in D-II will be played. No. 1 seed and five-time defending D-II state champion Iolani will also play on Nov. 17 at Aloha Stadium as part of a semifinal doubleheader — the Lunas game is most likely a 4 p.m. start, Iolani to follow at 7, but I have not been able to confirm that yet, though it makes by far the most sense.

The D-I semifinal doubleheader will be on Friday, Nov. 16, at Aloha Stadium (info on Baldwin in the link above).

Here is how the D-II bracket looks, without specific times:
