Now in it's 23rd year, the 'Iolani Prep Classic, taking advantage of the new state athletic schedule that has both girls and boys playing in the same season, has added a girls division. The local girls teams competing are host 'Iolani, Moanalua, Kamehameha, Roosevelt and Punahou. Mainland teams are Redondo, Granada and Narbonne.
Host 'Iolani opened the tournament with a 51-29 win over Moanalua.

Punahou, ranked number one in the state preseason polls, had no trouble with Granada (Livermore, CA), 59-30.
And, in the final game of the first day, powerhouse Narbonne (Harbor City, CA) dispatched Roosevelt, 88-51.
