Moanalua notched its first victory of the year over division rival Kahuku, taking down the Red Raiders in three sets 22-25, 25-20, 15-13 to set up a rematch with Mililani on Wednesday, with Red division title implications for the Trojans.

A Mililani win crowns the West top-seeded Trojans champions of the OIA Red division, while the Na Menehune will need to defeat Trojans on Wednesday in order to force a winner-take-all title game on Saturday.

Kahuku led 4-0 in the third set, but Moanalua rallied back behind the arms of Jojo Kruize and Lia Gaogao to outlast the Red Raiders down the stretch.

Mililani dispatched Moanalua in the winner's bracket semifinals on Oct 15 in three sets, 26-24, 25-17, 25-19.
