Published
Baldwin takes on Saint Damien Saturday night in the HHSAA Division I first round, Kamehameha Maui finds out its Division II semifinal opponent, and Central Maui Little League registration closes Sunday.
State football weekend is here, and Maui has a team in action Saturday night on Oʻahu, plus a second team waiting to see who it hosts next week. Here’s what to watch Nov. 13–15. All times are Hawaiʻi time, and it’s always smart to check with the schools and the HHSAA before you go.
Friday, Nov. 13
- HHSAA Open Division semifinals at Mililani. No Maui teams are in the Open bracket, but the state tournament kicks off here: No. 1 Kapolei vs. Kahuku at 4 p.m. and No. 2 Kamehameha-Kapālama vs. Mililani at 7:30 p.m., both at John Kauinana Stadium, according to Maui Now.
Saturday, Nov. 14
- HHSAA Division I first round: No. 5 Baldwin vs. No. 4 Saint Damien, 7:30 p.m. The game is at Edward “Skippa” Diaz Stadium at Farrington High School in Honolulu, per the HHSAA Division I bracket. The MIL champion Bears are 8–1 and Saint Damien is 5–4, according to MaxPreps, which also lists Baldwin’s defense at 12.6 points allowed per game. Saint Damien comes in off a 20–13 win over ʻIolani.
- Why it matters: It’s a rematch of last year’s state opener, which Damien won 28–14, per MaxPreps. Baldwin got here by sweeping Lahainaluna three times this fall, the last one a 7–6 nail-biter on Nov. 7 (our story). The winner plays at No. 1 Waipahu in the semifinals.
- How to watch: MaxPreps says the game will stream on the NFHS Network. The HHSAA says tickets for state tournament games go on sale on GoFan the Sunday night before each game.
- Division II first round: No. 4 Kalaheo vs. No. 5 Pac-Five, 4 p.m. Also at Farrington, per the HHSAA Division II bracket. Kamehameha Maui fans, this is your game to follow: the winner travels to Maui to face the top-seeded Warriors in a Division II semifinal on Friday, Nov. 20, at 6 p.m. at Kanaʻiaupuni Stadium. Kamehameha Maui has a first-round bye.
Sunday, Nov. 15
- Last day to register for Central Maui Little League. Registration for the 2027 season runs through Sunday, Nov. 15, according to the league’s registration flyer. Tee-Ball (birthdates September 2020–August 2023) is open, along with Coach Pitch, Minors, Majors and Intermediate divisions. All sign-ups are online at the league’s website. Age ranges for every division are on our Central Maui Little League event page.
Next weekend
If Baldwin wins, the Bears play at Waipahu in the Division I semifinals. The HHSAA bracket lists that game for Friday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m., while the Star-Advertiser has listed it for Saturday, so double-check the day once the HHSAA confirms it. Both state finals are Saturday, Nov. 28, at John Kauinana Stadium at Mililani: Division II at 4 p.m. and Division I at 7:30 p.m. Every result from this season is in our MIL Football Schedule 2026 guide.
