St. Louis and Punahou are an even 5-5 against one another since October of 2021, but not for long. The Crusaders will venture away from home to square off against the Buff n' Blue at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

St. Louis is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Hawaii's top teams: Kamehameha Kapalama, who was ranked fifth at the time (St. Louis was ranked second). The Crusaders took a 28-21 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Warriors on Saturday. The Crusaders have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 37-7, which was the final score in Punahou's tilt against Kamehameha Kapalama back in September.

Punahou's defeat dropped their record down to 2-4. As for St. Louis, their loss dropped their record down to 3-2.

Everything came up roses for St. Louis against Punahou in their previous meeting back in November of 2024, as the squad secured a 35-3 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Crusaders since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
