The Seariders improved to 4-3 this past weekend with a 44-0 victory over Aiea and will pick up a fifth win this weekend with a Kaiser forfeit to finish the regular season at 5-3 finishing no lower than third in the OIA red division with a chance at earning the two seed with a Campbell loss to Kahuku.
