Star-Bulletin Top 10, Aug. 27

Kapolei arrives in the poll for the first time this season.

Star-Bulletin Football Top 10

No surprises in the poll. Just a bit of juggling around. Kapolei's entrance into the Top 10 is notable, though. The Hurricanes have their best defensive unit in history if they continue to play this well. Kapolei has allowed just three points in two games, and Coach Darren Hernandez isn't surprised. Before the season, he touted so many defensive players that I was stunned.

He's not going to overpromise, never did. But as he rolled off the names and numbers for his defensive studs, I was amazed. I told him he has the kind of size and speed out there that fits a JC unit, not a high school.

He's right so far. We'll see how if Kapolei's 'D' will be good ... or great.
