HHSAA ADVISORY: HHSAA Postpones Division I Boys Basketball Regional Game to Due to Severe Weather
HONOLULU – The Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) has announced that all Division I boys basketball regional first-round games originally scheduled for Monday, Feb. 9, 2026, have been postponed. These games are now rescheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026.
This decision follows Governor Josh Green’s announcement regarding significant severe weather expected statewide. In a proactive move to ensure public safety, Governor Green has mandated the closure of all state offices and Department of Education (DOE) schools on Monday.
The National Weather Service has predicted heavy rain, flash flooding, and damaging winds across all islands. With the closure of DOE schools and University of Hawaiʻi campuses, the HHSAA urges all members of our athletic community to follow the Governor’s guidance and stay off the roads during hazardous conditions.
"In alignment with the state’s safety measures, we believe moving the opening round to Tuesday is the most responsible course of action," said the HHSAA Executive Director Chris Chun. "We want our families to focus on preparation and staying safe during this storm."
The HHSAA will continue to monitor weather conditions in coordination with state officials. Further updates regarding the remainder of the tournament bracket will be issued as needed.
