@ilovehawaii- Punahou was ranked higher than Kahuku at the end of the football season because they BEAT Kahuku and NOT because they were the better team. Maryknoll is ranked higher than Kamehameha NOT because they are the better team but because they BEAT them. Kahuku girls team BEAT Maryknoll with ALL their regulars playing but are ranked lower at the end of the year… That’s bull$h!t!

I was told Hayden Bayudan did not play in the third-place game due to a hip injury.

The roles were exactly reversed in 1976… except Marty played, but on a badly injured ankle…

glad someone posted about Hayden, i was wondering why he didnt play in the third place game. Damien tried to be like Maryknoll, small school, baller program. but in the end you need a strong foundation that takes a while to rebuild so that drama doesn’t poison the program. Damien wanted to do it the quick way, and they failed. Look how long it took Maryknoll to get where it was. There were many failures in the states and ILH tourneys before these back to back titles.

Such sour grapes.

You cannot, with a straight face, say that the RR girls team is better than Maryknoll and deserves to be ranked higher.
You look at the season and strength of schedule like, I am assuming, the people who voted on it.

I know you love your team but come on.

Look at football, Puns wasnt even in the state tournament but ended the season ranked higher than teams that were in the tournament even the runner up. Did they have it wrong then? Nope, because we all knew that Puns was better than those teams.

Wow rumors and more rumors. Why all the hate on Damien… everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but all the assumptions. Really? Damien definitely showed why they deserve to be in D1. They fell short but they still did good making it to the Top 10 each time. Damien ignore the “real clowns” that are hating and can’t keep Damien out of their mouths with their negtivity. Congratulations to all the teams!!! And speedy recovery to Togiai.

Prayers to Christmas for complete healing and a speedy recovery. My heartbreaks for him and his team;

As for DMS, yes quitters can quit then come back. Hayden didn’t suit up but was there in street clothes; a few parents when asked said his dad thinks he’s too good for 3rd place but it was good to see their bench get to play the last game maybe if the coach just trusted one to play defense it could have been different for them. I hope DMS cleans up their entire basketball program and get rid of everyone and start new; go back to D2 and give those who pays full tuition a chance;

Heard Boogie is coming back but playing for another ILH school. Small school with lots of drama only in the basketball program; coaches are losers and showed they couldn’t coach kids with talent because they are a bunch of clowns who recruited only to get bit in their asses by Hayden and the D1 6’7 recruit to Georgetown as their water boy NO where near D1 quality.

Injuries happen. This was so unfortunate, poor young man. Maryknoll did what they had to do and congratulations. Kamehameha battled and didn’t quit. They got hot near the end there. They should be proud.

Speaking of quitting why was that Hayden player allowed back on the Damien squad? You quit, you quit, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. I know, we all don’t know the story blah, blah, yada yada. Stop already. Noticed he didn’t suit up for the third place game. What’s the latest, greatest excuse as he wasn’t injured. Small school, big drama.

This game surpassed my expectations as I expected a final score of 18-23 in favor of whomever.

Interesting to see what could have been if Togiai played, but congrats to Maryknoll as they were able to capitalize on their opportunities to secure back-to-back State Titles.
In my opinion, Maryknoll should be the odds on favorite to win it all next year too as they have a lot of youth and depth on that squad .
