The postseason is here.

The First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Football State Championships kick off next weekend when the Division II and Division I tournaments begin.

Matchups for the Division I-Open bracket, are yet to be finalized as the Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I championship and third place games will be played Saturday, Nov. 4.

Last year was the implementation of a three-tier state tournament that brought the inaugural Open Division state championship. For this year's postseason, the three tiers remained, but only four teams are participating in each bracket.

Interscholastic League of Honolulu winner and defending open division champion Saint Louis (8-0) will be joined in the D1-Open by the OIA's Kahuku (9-1) and Mililani (10-0). The final spot will be given to the winner of Waianae (6-4) and Campbell (7-4).

The Crusaders will play the OIA runner-up while the OIA champ will play the OIA's third place finisher.

Bracket play starts on Friday, Nov. 10, at Aloha Stadium.
