The Crusaders, ranked No. 3 in The Advertiseršs statewide Top 10 poll of coaches and media, improved to 13-3 in the regular and post-season and will face O'ahu Interscholastic Association champion and No. 2 seed Kaimuki (11-5) in tomorrow's quarterfinals.
Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. at Radfordšs James Alegre Gym.
Campbell (10-6) lost its third straight game and again played without starting guard and scoring leader Mike Makinano. Sabers coach Bob Samson defered questions regarding Makinanošs status to athletic director/vice principal Sam Delos Reyes, who said, "It's something internal that we'd rather not talk about."
Makinano, a sharp-shooting junior, sat out last Friday's OIA third-place game against Radford and watched last night's game in street clothes from the bleachers.
The Crusaders' size and athleticism controlled the game from the outset and the Sabers never recovered. Smith, a 6-foot-7,
245-pound senior forward, scored nine points and grabbed three rebounds in the first period as Saint Louis jumped out to leads of 11-0 and 15-2.
