There's no letting up in Interscholastic League of Honolulu Division I football. Not when all three teams are among the top four in the state.

Though victorious against previously No. 1 Punahou last week, newly top-ranked Saint Louis will bring its aches and pains to Aloha Stadium tonight against No. 4 Kamehameha. Kickoff is 7:45.

This figures to be a physically demanding game for both.

Kamehameha (3-1) is coming off a bye after its trip to Utah, where it beat Davis, 13-6, and is fairly healthy. This is the Warriors' league opener.

Saint Louis (3-0 overall, 1-0 ILH) might have won big against idle and now No. 3 Punahou (3-1, 0-1), 40-19, but paid a price for it.

The status of running back Austin Wakinekona (knee), slotback Lucas Gonsalves (ankle) and defensive lineman Hoku Isaia (shoulder) are game-time decisions, first-year Saint Louis coach John Hao said. As big a game as this is, Hao won't risk the season or the players' well-being for it.

"One thing I don't want to do is shoot everything for this game and then we're done," Hao said. "We want them for longevity. I have to put my trust in my backups."

The Warriors used their bye week to heal their own wounds and to catch up on studies because of the trip, second-year coach David Stant said.

"Physically, I think we're ready," Stant said. "We'll see if we're mentally prepared for this (game)."

Both teams boast highly skilled offenses. Saint Louis quarterback Jeremy Higgins was virtually untouched against Punahou and was able to complete 23 of 35 passes for 361 yards and three touchdowns with no picks.

"Their offensive line has experience and played with confidence against Punahou," Stant said of the Crusaders.

If Gonsalves doesn't play, the Crusaders still have Billy Stutzmann and Jordan Fukumoto. Both have double-digit receptions entering the game.

But losing Wakinekona, or having him at less than 100 percent, is different. He leads the team with 155 yards rushing; the next 100-yard rusher is Higgins. Emmett McShane (15 yards), Josh Tupua (30) and Sean Valente (8) are the backups, Hao said.

The Crusaders will have to deal with Kamehameha's version of Manti Te'o in rover Conrad Scheidt, as well as defensive end Kaohu McCabe and twin defensive backs Tony and Michael Tokunaga.

"They use different types of defenses," Hao said of the Warriors. "It's very confusing. We hope we can contain them."

While Saint Louis' offensive attack is nearly balanced (88 passes to 79 rushes), Kamehameha's favors the run (99 rushes to 70 passes). Running back Ryan Ho is off to a fast start with 434 yards, averaging nearly a first down (9.2 yards) per carry. But Stant is concerned with Saint Louis' swarming defense, especially up front.

"They're the best in the state," Stant said. "That front seven is tough."

Junior quarterback Edmund Kamano Jr. returns and gives the Warriors a throwing threat. Pi'i Minns (10) and Maika Mataele (7) lead the team in receptions.

The Warriors' trip to Utah has been beneficial, Stant said. The game aided the team's depth as Hao had to rotate players frequently because of the high altitude. The Warriors rallied from an early 6-0 deficit in weather conditions that changed from warm to chilly between halves.

"We responded to adversity," Stant said. "It helped us mentally. They showed character."

Saint Louis leads this series, 80-54-10 and have won the last six consecutive meetings.

Kalaheo (5-0 overall, 4-0 OIA White) at Radford (3-1, 3-0) — 6:30 p.m. tomorrow.

The most interesting game in the O'ahu Interscholastic Association is in the White (Division II) because seeding for postseason is on the line. The Mustangs and Rams are the only undefeated teams left in their division.

The Rams will face one of the toughest defenses in the Mustangs, who have allowed just one touchdown. The only other scoring against them was a safety.

Rams quarterback Doug Brown, who has passed for 714 yards, also leads his team in rushing with 156 yards. He has been fairly even in throwing to receivers Brad Osbourne (12 catches for 119 yards), Andrew Forester (14 for 162) and Shawn Putnam-Curry (16 for 214).

Mustangs' QB Phil Tauai is similar in that he leads his team with 331 yards rushing, while passing for 551. But Kalaheo runs the ball twice as often as it throws. Running back Vincent Santiago averages 9.4 yards per carry (274 yards on the season).

The only noticeable difference is the records of teams each team has faced. Kalaheo's opponents have a combined 6-13 record compared to Radford's 12-6.

The teams haven't played since 2005 with the Rams leading the series, 9-8. Radford has won the last three meetings.

Pac-Five (2-3, 1-1) vs. No. 9 'Iolani (4-1, 2-0) — 5 p.m. today at Aloha Stadium.

The Raiders, the only Division II team ranked in the top 10, will be in for a track meet against the pass-happy Wolfpack. 'Iolani's secondary will be on the run, as Pac-Five QB PJ Minaya has passed the ball 95 times in his last two games. The state's passing yards leader (1,201) has five teammates with double-digit receptions with two of them totaling more than 400 yards each.

Receiver Darin Kamealoha is a threat any time he touches the ball, having scored four different ways: three by rushing, six by receiving, one by kickoff return and one by punt return.

The Raiders are balanced on offense. Not much changes with Kela Marciel or Jarrett Arakawa at QB, but the latter benefits with an extra weapon when the former plays receiver.

Running back Kellen Imada (5.6 yards per carry) has shown breakaway speed.

No. 5 Farrington (4-1, 3-0) at Kailua (0-4, 0-3) — 7:30 tonight.

The snake-bit Surfriders lost their last three games by one score in each, two of them by one point each.

Kailua appears to be up defensively and will have to be against the Governors, who are led by running back Apelu So'oalo. He is a threat with his feet, leading the team with 469 yards rushing (5.6 per carry), while booting five field goals, his longest from 40 yards.

More than half of QB Dayton Kealoha's completions are to Drake Miller (17 for 248).

No. 2 Leilehua (4-0, 2-0) at Pearl City (0-5, 0-3) — 7:30 tonight.

Everyone knows about the Mules' QB Andrew Manley (955 yards, 7 TD passes), but the Chargers' Colby Young has been compiling a nice season himself. He has 642 yards and six TDs against three interceptions. Skye Ka'apuni has 25 catches for 431 yards and three TDs.

Running back Rico Newman gives the Mules a complement to Manley's passing. Newman averages 6.7 yards per rush.

Damien (4-1, 1-1) vs. Word of Life (2-3, 0-2) at Kamehameha — 7 p.m. tomorrow.

The new kids on block are still searching for their first league win in a game that could be short because both teams like to run.

The Firebrands run out of necessity with their energy-conserving double wing that keeps most of the players contained near the line of scrimmage.

The Monarchs run because they do so effectively with running back Brenan Furtado, who gained 200 of his 525 yards last week in a win against Pac-Five.

Damien used Anthony Tuitele solely in the defensive secondary against the Wolfpack's Minaya and didn't lose a beat with Stanton Pilialoha at QB. Pilialoha passed for 163 yards. Tuitele had started at QB the previous two games.
