By Fred Guzman

Seabury Hall may be the defending state Division-II champion, but the Spartans are seeded third in the state Division-II boy’s volleyball tournament on Oahu.

Hawaii Baptist drew the top seed in the eight-team event, followed by Castle. Kohala was seeded fourth. Seabury will open Thursday against Lanakila Baptist in a 6 p.m. quarterfinal game at Maryknoll.

MIL champ Baldwin was seeded fourth in D-I, behind No. 1 Punahou, Moanalua and Waiakea.

MIL runnerup King Kekaulike opens against Waipahu at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Waiakea High. The Bears draw a first-round bye and will face the winner of Kamehameha-Hawaii versus Leilehua at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Kea’au High.

As usual, Punahou dominated the team competitions. The Buffanblu girls edged Iolani, 18-16, for a ninth straight state title. The boys set a national prep mark last year by winning their 20th straight state crown and extended their streak with 22 points. Iolani was a distant second with 10.
