#2 is another conspiracy theorist. What exactly did the seeding committee do to make an all ILH final so obvious to you? Punahou is the best unseeded team in the tournament – and I don’t even like Punahou! ILH champion Maryknoll gets the #1 seed because they earned it. The HHSAA tries to split league rivals in case you aren’t aware – besides, to be the best you need to beat the best! Kahuku and Kapolei did themselves no favors by losing to Kalaheo. Either way, someone plays Maryknoll or Punahou – it’s really a matter of when.

The seeding committee has made it so obvious that they want an all ILH final between Maryknoll and Punahou. They tried it last year and Kahuku ruined their best laid plans. However, if Kapolei lives up to their billing and upsets Maryknoll, then it changes the whole complexion of the tournament. Furthermore, if Lahainaluna comes to play and takes care of Punahou, which would be monumental, it could really upset the seeding committee and the ILH supporters. However, in a perfect world, and stacked brackets, it will be the two ILH foes, again.

Paul you got it right about the BIIF not being very good. KSH won because they have the tallest and most athletic center the BIIF has seen in a couple years. Problem is that’s par for the course on Oahu and with the loose whistles in the BIIF, I don’t give them a chance. The big boy got the benefit of calls he most definitely won’t get on Oahu and that will cause him to lose his cool very fast. Fortunately for him he can play outside as well and has a tendency to shoot three’s if the going is tough inside. Konawaena has a bunch of aggressive athletes but no size to compete inside. Their aggressive play style is a positive on Oahu but not in the BIIF. That’s why schools like Hilo and Kohala struggle with pity patty fouls all year long and free throw shooting is what you pay to watch in the BIIF as a spectator.
