My apologies, for venting like that. I think as parents we were a bit frustrated as there was no coverage from any media sources or social media outlets on the boys championship game and throughout the season. And to add salt to the wound initially Sunday morning on ILH Sports and Scoring Live had St. Louis as the Champions so that set us off.

Mahalo for all you do for our high school athletes! Thank you for continuing to recognize them and working hard with a skeleton crew. My hope is next year things will return to back some kind of normal. Please stay safe and healthy! Mahalo!

Tracy, our staff is at an absolute bare bones level right now. Which means I cannot be at two places at the same time, and neither can our photographers, who are also a skeleton crew. Back in the day (1970s), there were sports beat reporters for the ILH, OIA East and OIA West, from what I understand. Three total. Not anymore. COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on us just like many places of employment. I don’t think it helps to know this, but please be aware that we are doing our best. Always have and always will.

Why no coverage on those athletes who competed on Saturday night? After all, it was a Championship game just like the D1 Boys volleyball game. The girls D2 volleyball championship is coming up I pray there be coverage on their game. It seems the D2 division gets left out on most media outlets which is quite sad. Just because we are a smaller division doesn’t negate the fact that these players also want to be acknowledge in a sport they love to play. I hope next year we have more coverage for all the D2 teams games in all sports. Mahalo for your understanding.
