Yes, considering that a lot of the players on Punahou’s teams are poly and/or come from the North Shore. We know its the only way we can compete. Don’t insult the people and the area.

@ Redlentless Fan, you are truly a great representative of Kahuku unlike many other posters. I mean look at the junk some of these “so called” adults write. It’s so unfortunate that the great kids of Kahuku and Laie have role models like this. I applaud the kids for acting the way they do with so many juvenile adults acting the way they do.

I mean shove it up your ass? Who comes on a blog site, behind a fake name, and talks tough? He’s probably a 5’3 single man living in his mom’s basement and angry at the world.

AUWE

88 totally applaud the kids and coaches. And they gotta enjoy every minute of it. Big win for the community! The Watcher 100% Kahuku all the way, BUT I also know what’s what. Gotta be real. And you’re right. A lot of my friends and family members do not share the same views as I do. But ah. That’s the way it goes.

@ Redlentless Fan, I applaud you. It’s so unfortunate that many of your community members can’t display the same tact and humility. But then again, these people who act the way they do on these blogs might now even be from the Kahuku or Laie area.

WOW. Okay. First of all Iolani drew the worse card out of the 3-way tie for ILH regular season. That added on additional games for them. By the time they faced Kahuku they played twice the amount of games that Kahuku did. Good thing for us. If they could take us to OT playing on fumes WTH would’ve happened if they were fresh. 88 come on now, I love Kahuku but you can’t compare the curriculum at Kahuku with Iolani. Not even close. Iolani has a successful basketball PROGRAM. We have a successful TEAM this year. Stoked for the boys. And gonna love every minute of being state champs! But let’s see if they can keep it up. Losing 12 seniors. I hope they can. Would suck if we gotta wait another 40 years!

88, the kids get their work done. If they didn’t manage their time better, the work wouldn’t be done. The fact that these young men can handle the heavy curriculum and still participate in an extra curricular activity shows how outstanding they are. I am just curious. Given that the workload is a lot and they still have time to play basketball, what makes you think they do not manage their time well.

For example, if Student A has 1 page of math (10 problems) in Pre-Alg or Trig during their senior year at a low performing academic school and Student B has 1 page of math (25 problems) in Calc 2 during their senior year at a high performing academic school, do you really think both of those course work will take the same time? Or should Student B manage their time better?

Tons huh? That is a lot of homework. I think they need to manage their time better.

Sorry @ L, I thought you was talking about tonight’s game. I like your comment about tons of homework. A strong argument can be made that Iolani has the most rigorous academic program in the state. That is a huge variable to factor in. I can imagine what time many of the Iolani kids finish their homework on a daily basis.

“One D1 prospect player against three D1 prospect players.” This is not an excuse?
“9th game in 13 days (plus tons of homework to do after each game) against 4th game in 13 days.” This is not another excuse? You sound like the two announcers last night.
