Kamehameha-Maui (7-1) is the Division I regular-season champion and has clinched a state tournament berth.

The Warriors secured the title when Lahainaluna upset Baldwin, 67-66, in the regular season finale on Saturday.

Kamehameha-Maui also earned a first-round bye in this week's MIL postseason tournament. It will play the winner of tomorrow's play-in game between Maui and King Kekaulike. In the other semifinal Thursday, Baldwin (6-2) will face Lahainaluna (4-3).

The championship game is set for 7 p.m. Friday. If Kamehameha-Maui wins, the Warriors will be declared MIL overall champs. If another team wins the tournament, it will play Kamehameha-Maui in a winner-take-all playoff for the title.

In Division II, Lana'i, Moloka'i, St. Anthony and Seabury Hall finished the regular season tied for first place with 7-3 records. Lana'i defeated St. Anthony and Moloka'i beat Seabury Hall in a special playoff last night, so Lana'i and Moloka'i will play tonight for the regular-season title and state berth.
