They go to Kahuku because Akana is the best HS coach. He has the most D1 college recruits then anyone else. Same like Stl. Cept Kahuku is a public school, so it’s called transfers.

okay kahuku people, do you see people crying or complaining about the transfers for basketball? No so please do the same for football and stop being crybabies.

Your article on the Kohala/Hilo game in regards to tough BIIF road games was intriguing. It got me envisioning what it would be like if the Boys Basketball State Tournament was similar to the Football playoffs where first round games would be held at the ranked teams home gyms/islands. For example if Kohala wins the BIIF D-2 title and get a top seed, how much of an advantage would having their first game in Kapaau be with that frenzied crowd? Are the BIIF, MIL, and KIF teams at a disadvantage having to travel to Oahu for states? Don’t get me wrong, I 100% believe the ILH and OIA are steps ahead when it come to talent. But would that home court advantage bring some balance? I don’t know but it would definitely be some great atmosphere for Boys Basketball. The potential of a packed Civic for a Hilo state game would be amazing. On the flip side it would allow these athletes from the ILH and OIA to experience overnight/air travel, something some of them who move on to play college ball would benefit from. Thoughts?

Doesn’t seem like the 6’9″ (probably a lot shorter) transfer is living up to the hype so far for Kahuku. He had articles written about him prior to coming and really hasn’t done didly.

That just shows the selfishness of some of these kids/parents. At the next level, unless you’re one of the top recruits, the coaches want kids who are willing to do what it takes to get on the field, and many times, that will include being a team player and playing a position that maybe you’re not accustomed too or is your “favorite”. Although I agree he is a better defensive player, I disagree with his football move. And in case you all are wondering, if you’ve seen his highlights, most of the kids he was going up against in that Cali league weren’t that good.

But that’s football season, which is done. As far as basketball, it’s good to see him back in Red.

RRFL!!

Akana will bring the team together after a slow start and get them into the OIA playoffs and states. Sophomore Amari Westmorland-Vendiola is a baller. They have a lot of physical athletes, too.

Sauvao was playing out of position at Kahuku. His strength was as a safety/rover. Did well on the mainland. Not the first nor last Kahuku athlete to transfer out to play on the mainland and return to play and graduate from Kahuku.

Sauvao went to the mainland for football because Kahuku had him playing out of position at QB. He played safety/rover in Cali. He excelled because it’s was his natural position. He won’t be the last Kahuku kid to go to a mainland school to play football and return to play another sport and graduate with his friends.
