Two of the most storied football programs in the Oahu Interscholastic Association will renew a classic rivalry Friday night on the North Shore.

Waianae, the sixth-ranked team in the ScoringLive/OC16 Division I Power Rankings and No. 3 seed out of the Red West, travels to No. 8 Kahuku, the Red East second seed, for a highly-anticipated quarterfinal game in the second week of the OIA Red Tournament.

Between them, the Seariders and Red Raiders have a combined 41 league championships. Waianae has won 18 OIA titles, but none since it won back-to-back in 1996 and 1997. Kahuku has a league-high 23 championships to its name, including the last two Red titles and eight in the last 10 years. The Red Raiders have also won the last two D1 state championships.

The winner will advance to the semifinals against the winner of Leilehua-Mililani next Thursday, while the loser's season is over.

The Seariders (7-2) and Red Raiders (5-3) are expected to kickoff about 7:30 p.m. at Carleton E. Weimer Field in the UHA Game of the Week.
