10 storylines to watch in state tournament

The trial run of the HHSAA’s new three-tier format for the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA State Football Championships begins Friday with six games. The creation of a six-team Open Division has created quite a stir among fans, players and coaches alike. The release of the brackets in the three divisions has created plenty of controversy surrounding the seeding of certain teams. Yet here we are, ready to play the games as scheduled.

Here are 10 storylines to watch over the next three weekends.

10. Can Waialua handle its newfound success?

The Bulldogs are one of the great stories of 2016. Waialua ended a 61-year title drought that went back to the Rural OIA days with a heart-stopping 36-35 win over Waipahu last Friday at Aloha Stadium to win the OIA Division II title. It was the first game Waialua played at the stadium since 2010 and came down to the very end, when the Bulldogs recovered a fumble in their own territory with less than a minute remaining. It touched off a wild celebration all the way back to the North Shore as Lincon Barit finally got it done in his 14th year as head coach.

Now comes the tough part. The Bulldogs have to move on this week and prepare for their first ever state tournament game when they play ILH champion Damien at Campbell on Friday at 4:30 p.m. A victory would give Waialua its first eight-win season in the Prep Bowl and state championship eras. QB Tevesi Toia threw for a career-high 256 yards and accounted for five touchdowns against a Waipahu defense that hadn’t given up more than 28 points all season and held Division I Nanakuli to 12. Waialua hasn’t won a game against an ILH team since 1974 and is coming off the biggest win in school history. How will the Bulldogs handle their newfound success?

9. Is Baldwin/Mililani the toughest matchup on opening weekend?

Of the seeding complaints that came out after the release of the three state tournament brackets, the loudest gripe came from the island of Maui. Undefeated MIL champion Baldwin was seeded fourth in the eight-team Division I field because the committee doesn’t consider the Bears a champion in their two-team Division I league. Forgetting that ‘Iolani didn’t win a single game in the league it plays in, yet was seeded above a Bears team that defeated every team on Maui, Baldwin also has to play a Mililani team that is ranked by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser as the best team not playing in the Open Division.

Those same rankings have the Bears No. 9 in the state, making this the only first-round Division I game between ranked teams (unranked ‘Iolani plays unranked Moanalua). The Trojans have to travel to War Memorial Stadium, which should be a packed house with both Baldwin and Lahainaluna involved in a doubleheader. At least one prominent media member has already commented that this could have been the championship game in Division I. Instead it will have to settle as the toughest first-round pairing on paper. Will it turn out that way on the field?

8. Is Kapaa worthy of a No. 1 seed?

Another surprise of the seedings was in Division II, where reigning Division II state runner-up Kapaa earned the No. 1 seed over BIIF champion Konawaena. Both teams finished the season with one loss. Konawaena lost to Division I BIIF champion Hilo by two (23-21) in August while Kapaa lost 20-17 to Kauai on Oct. 8 and then squeaked past Waimea 15-12 a week later and hasn’t played since.

The Warriors have an impressive shutout win over Lahainaluna, 21-0, back in August on the resume but their offense has struggled a bit down the stretch. When they finally host the winner between Damien and Waialua, it will have been 28 days between games. Offensive lineman Morris Unutoa is a monster up front who has 11 Division I offers, but whoever Kapaa plays will be its toughest challenge in more than two months.

7. How good is ILH Division II football?

For the second consecutive season. Damien will represent the three teams out of the ILH in the Division II state tournament. The Monarchs withstood a late-season charge from St. Francis, which lost by a point, 23-22, to Konawaena back in August. The Monarchs lost to Konawaena, 42-33, in the first round last season and now get to face OIA champion Waialua first.

QB Marcus Faufata-Pedrina has accounted for 27 touchdowns (21 passing, six rushing) in eight games this season. Damien shut out Maui, 33-0, something Baldwin couldn’t do this year, and held its own in a 46-24 loss to Division I state tournament team Moanalua. Holding off the Saints in the ILH was no easy task. The road to the state final would have to include wins over the OIA champs and KIF champs in consecutive weeks.

The three ILH Division II teams went 5-2 in nonleague games, but have combined to only win two games in the history of the state tournament. Without ‘Iolani in Division II, is the league good enough to compete against the other top Division II teams in the state?

6. Are Mililani and Campbell excited to be in Division I?

When the Open Division was created after the season had already began, it was clear at least two really good OIA teams would be left out.

The Trojans, who won the state title in 2014 and advanced to the Division I semifinals in 2015, and the Sabers, who like Mililani finished in the top two of its division in the OIA regular season, both find themselves in the Division I tournament after losing OIA quarterfinal games. A second-half surge wasn’t enough for Mililani in a 36-33 loss to Waianae while Campbell was overpowered by Farrington, 25-7.

Both teams lost on their home fields to drop to the Division I state tournament. Campbell hasn’t played a game since, earning a forfeit win over Moanalua, while Mililani put up 63 points in a victory over Leilehua.

Back when ‘Iolani was in the middle of its run as Division II state champions, you never heard rumblings of being upset at being in D-II, even in 2009, when the Raiders beat both Kamehameha and Punahou in the same season. The goal for both Mililani and Campbell this season was to make the Open Division, but to no avail. Now they get a chance to compete for a Division I state championship. Is it good enough for them to put in everything they’ve got? Only time will tell.

5. Can a healthy Kapolei team give Punahou a game?

Saint Louis and Punahou flip-flopped at different times during the season, but their status as teams ranked in the top three in the state never changed. Kapolei advanced to the OIA Division I semifinals for the second time in school history and its third-place finish was its best ever. A No. 4 ranking heading into the OIA playoffs was the highest the Hurricanes had ever been ranked in the Star-Advertiser poll.


Kapolei’s reward for beating Waianae in the OIA third-place game was a date with Punahou instead of a rematch with Farrington. Quarterbacks Taulia Tagovailoa of Kapolei and Punahou’s Nick Kapule have combined to throw for more than 5,900 yards this season and could possibly be the first quarterbacks on different teams to throw for more than 3,000 yards in the same season.

The one common opponent shared by both teams is Leilehua. Kapolei beat the Mules 44-13 while Punahou put up 70 on Leilehua in a season-opening 61-point win. The Buffanblu allowed nine touchdowns to Tua Tagovailoa in a game earlier this year but also held Tua without a TD in a game for the first time. Now Taulia gets his turn. Can the Hurricanes keep it close or are the top three teams in the state on another level from everybody else?

4. Where does ‘Iolani stand in Division I?

Maybe no team in the entire state has caused more outcry for a three-tiered system than ‘Iolani, which has won eight Division II state titles but hasn’t won a league game in the ILH since jumping up at the start of last season.

‘Iolani won games against McKinley and Waimea to start the season and then beat a La Jolla Country Day team with a star quarterback that has won seven of eight games in California since losing to ‘Iolani. The Raiders then lost all seven games against ILH foes but seemed to improve as the season wore on. In the first meetings, ‘Iolani lost 49-7 to Saint Louis, 50-20 to Kamehameha and 49-24 to Punahou. The Raiders were within striking distance in the fourth quarter of a 42-24 loss to the Crusaders in the rematch and narrowly lost to Kamehameha, 21-16, after giving up 50 in the first meeting. QB Tai-John Mizutani got banged up during the season and missed the last game of the season, but is ready to roll for the playoffs.

Clearly, ‘Iolani is a program stuck right in the middle between the ILH’s top tier (Saint Louis, Kamehameha, Punahou) and second tier (Damien, St. Francis, Pac-Five). This Division I tournament is the perfect opportunity for the Raiders to show exactly where they stand with a solid group of teams that sit ranked between seven and 14 in the state.

3. Will the Big Island make a state final?

Hilo is the No. 1 seed in the Division I tournament while Konawaena is seeded second in Division II. Big Island teams are 4-29 all time in the state tournament and 0-17 in Division I and have never played in a state title game.

The Vikings have a much tougher time in Division I as getting seeded first doesn’t mean a whole lot. They still need to win twice in order to make a final. Konawaena just has to beat the winner between Waipahu and Lahainaluna in order to play for the title at Aloha Stadium.

Some are critical of the Open Division not crowning a true state champion because only OIA and ILH teams are participating. The BIIF has had 17 years to get a win in the Division I state tournament and hasn’t done it, although Hilo gave Kahuku quite the scare two years ago. Instead of possibly playing Farrington or Kapolei, which combined to both beat Leilehua by a score of 63-20, the Vikings get the Mules instead.

Konawaena was already poised to potentially be the first Big Island team to reach a final, but with the new three-tier format, the Vikings can also feel like they have a real shot to play at Aloha Stadium in two weeks.

2. Can QB Tua Tagovailoa carry the Crusaders to a championship?

He’s the most highly-rated quarterback ever to come out of Hawaii. He’s committed to play for Alabama. There’s a good chance in his next game that he will become the state’s all-time career passing leader, breaking the mark set by Timmy Chang that has lasted 17 years.

Yet for the most dynamic dual-threat quarterback the state has ever seen, Tagovailoa needs a championship to really be considered one of the all-time greats. At times he has looked unstoppable this year (Nine TDs vs. Punahou, 494 passing yards vs. ‘Iolani), but his second half of the season has included four games under 200 yards passing, at least one interception thrown in five consecutive games and a full game against Punahou without accounting for a TD.

Tagovailoa and the Crusaders fell short in last year’s title game and you can bet they most definitely want another shot at Kahuku. Because of how the brackets worked out, Saint Louis won’t have to play both Punahou and Kahuku to win it all, but will likely have to face one.

He’s amazed us with his breathtaking talent and will always be remembered as one of the greatest players at any position this state has ever produced. As is the case in every sport and with all great players, it’s the championship that sets you apart from others. This is Tua’s last chance to bring one home for the Brotherhood at Saint Louis. Will he get to experience the perfect ending to a storied high school career?

1. Will it be a cakewalk for Kahuku to the Open Division title?

They’ve dominated every Hawaii team that’ve played since the start of the 2015 season. Their numbers on defense have been well documented and yet still remain almost impossible to believe.

Kahuku entered last year’s state title game against Saint Louis picked by more people to lose than win. It won’t be the case this time. The Red Raiders are the unanimous No. 1 team in the state based on the most recent Honolulu Star-Advertiser rankings and have given no indication at all that they are capable of losing to a team from Hawaii this year.


Somehow the defense hasn’t lost a step from last year despite losing some key contributors. Senior Kesi Ah-Hoy has moved full time to defense after having to play quarterback last season. Freshman Sol-Jay Maiava has taken over at QB and has gotten better and better throughout the season. His full set of skills were on display in the OIA title game when he ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more in the first half against Farrington.

This could be the first time the Red Raiders would have to beat ILH teams in back-to-back games to win a state championship. The creation of the Open Division did not make Kahuku’s road to the title easier. The thing is, it might not even matter. A Kahuku loss to either Punahou or Saint Louis, or especially Kapolei, Farrington or Waianae, would be an upset no doubt, but will those games even be close? Can anybody score on Kahuku? Judging by last year’s state final, it might be more likely than not that they can’t. If so, the Red Raiders will head back to the North Shore with state championship No. 9.

    Billy Hull you are correct. This is the first time in the History of a 6 team playoff system that the Defending Champion and overall #1 team in the land will have to go through the #3 and #2 ranked teams in the land. Normally #2 and #3 play each other for the right to play #1. However #1 in Hawaii Football wins the big game to much. Next week Friday can’t get here soon enough.


  2. Jason Keuma November 3, 2016 10:47 am

    I’m glad he mentioned the 3 tiered playoff was announced after the season started, to illustrate that this is was not thought out completely.

    Go OIA v ILH #4.


  3. TooMeke November 3, 2016 11:58 am

    I only care about #’s 1, 2, and 5.

    The rest is just white noise.

    GO BIG RED!


  4. Education First November 3, 2016 12:01 pm

    More whining by the “infamous” 88 who cannot tell time.


  5. 88 November 3, 2016 12:10 pm

    Go lay down. Infamous is to big of a word for you. Don’t want you to pass out.


  6. rrforlifebaby November 3, 2016 12:17 pm

    No use in crying over spilled milk. All the boiz need to man up and play whomever is placed in front of them. Champions don’t care who they play, they just ball out.

    Good luck to all the squads, especially the public schools!

    Go Big Red!!


  7. Kailua Boys November 3, 2016 12:48 pm

    Man up! Let the best team win! Can’t Wait!

    Let the BEST team win!


  8. AUWE November 3, 2016 2:22 pm

    @88

    Das ok braddah dis only a trial state tournament! Reason being if the plan of putting kahuku against the top 2 ILH teams don’t work this year, next year we might have to go through all 4!

    In the newly created super open ridiculous division!! Best of luck to everybody! Heawekooo Big Red!! You got this…


  9. 88 November 3, 2016 2:28 pm

    Amen to that.


  10. AUWE November 3, 2016 3:22 pm

    Although I think punahou will put up a better fight then St. Louis. I see punahou coming out with a 35 to 14 victory over kapolei and Waianae edging over farrington 28 to 21. Don’t think kapoleis front seven can put enough pressure on puns QB to slow down that passing attack! And 35 is probably the least they will score, kapoleis secondary is pretty good but without pressure up front not even the best DBs in the state can cover that good.


  11. Maahtma Gadhin November 3, 2016 3:59 pm

    I never thought Kahuku had a chance against St Louis last year. They were too one dimensional. They could not run the ball against Waianae in the state semifinals. You figured if they couldn’t run against Waianae, then no way could they be able to run against St Louis.
    Ironic thing was, that was the only big final margin win Kahuku had against St Louis. Most of their wins against St Louis in the state championship game were nail biters.


  12. grabum.bythe.puppy.gate November 3, 2016 7:43 pm

    It is clear that every one in the state knows that the brackets should be based on a 1-6 system. However I now understand that the committe decided to use an oia vs ilh format and split the 1s and 2s.

    no more complaining from me, all i wanted to know was the system they used. oia vs ilh, not a true tournament but maybe next year they will do it the right way


  13. Kailua Boys November 3, 2016 8:50 pm

    @graham

    did they finally respond to your email? without a true super league thats what they need to do in the meantime. Without teams actually playing each other rankings are totally subjective.

    I’m down for a true seed but before that happens we need a true super conference. Could you imagine a conference with the open teams plus the stronger D1 teams and Kamehameha. That would be amazing! The regular season would draw crazy crowds.


  14. grabum.bythe.puppy.gate November 3, 2016 10:42 pm

    the oia is fine and competitive on its own, all the games that do not have kahuku in it are close and pretty even. kahukus success is what is causing the ilh and hhsaa to feel threatened so changes were made.

    no need super league, just pay kahuku 3million and invite them into the ilh


  15. Kailua Boys November 3, 2016 11:15 pm

    @graham

    kahuku smashes teams week in and week out. how would a super conference not make sense. not only would the games be more entertaining but kids could play better competition which would make them more skilled and also it’d be safer so strong teams wouldn’t beat on weak teams constantly.


  16. TooMeke November 4, 2016 6:13 am

    Puns O-line is the key. They are a special (and young) group.

    Puns gave St LuLu FIVE turnovers and St LuLu only scored 28 points. Puns defense is also solid.

    If they keep their turnovers down, then I believe Puns is the toughest matchup for Kahuku, not St LuLu. They are much more balanced on offense and disciplined on defense.

    St LuLu is a one-man show. They won’t win this year. It will be Big Red or Puns…and obviously I believe it will be Kahuku.

    Excited for these games!

    GO BIG RED!

    RRFL!!

    Whoʻs St Lulu? Grow up, too meke…. Kahudodo is where you from…OMG…. all ex St. Lulu
    players coaching there….let the kids play… wish them luck, you showing your IQ…


  18. Red Raider 4 Life November 4, 2016 7:19 am

    Best of luck to all teams in the Open. Going to be some great games.
    I hope that the powers to be recognize how it would be beneficial that all teams that are of equal talent should be placed into the same division for the regular season, that way we avoid all these loped sided scores and at the same time cut down on injuries to weaker opponents. Plus this would get us fans excited week in week out. Tired of seeing games where its like 60-0, wheres the fun in that? Combine the teams accordingly no matter what league they belong to.
    Heawekooo Big Red!!


  19. Education First November 4, 2016 7:20 am

    88 you can stop pretending. The entire world knows that the word “infamous” is in my elementary vocabulary bank. Without google you wouldn’t even know what it mean.

    Now go get my coffee bitch!


  20. Education First November 4, 2016 7:31 am

    TO 88:

    So I just found out something interesting about 88. It turns out that Kahuku Football does not want him to be a part of the team. He applied to be a coach and they turned him down. It happened with Tata, Leslie, Torres, Livai, and Semones. That is why 88 has to blog.

    He desperately wants to be a part of the Kahuku Football Community and staff. But the team DOESN’T WANT HIM.

    That is why he blogs and that is why he has so much hostility. He is hurt since his own community that he never played for still does not want him.

    I can understand why he is so mad. He will come back with something predictable (that is the extent of his intelligence and creativity) such as calling me a clown. Or his posts demonstrate anger towards me since I am a clown. We all know what he will do when he responds since his brain is limited.

    After trying to read his 1000 posts for the past several years, everyone on this blog, even the writers and moderators know his brain is limited. Every time he his the computer and types, he proves it more and more.

    It’s okay that Kahuku Football DOES NOT WANT YOU. I AM SORRY THAT THE CLOSEST YOU WILL EVER GET TO BEING A PART OF THE KAHUKU TEAM IS TO BLOG.

    I mean it’s kind of pathetic, but we understand. It must hurt not to be wanted by the TEAM that you LOVE.


  21. TooMeke November 4, 2016 8:36 am

    @fan 1: wow… you can actually spell “IQ”… congrats. you showing…nothing of relevance.

    aaaand… St LuLu AND Puns both have Kahuku grads on their respective coaching staff. So what? Big deal. You can’t coach talent…and Big Red has that in spades… let me regurgitate what you said right back at you… “let the kids play”… and let us talk all the crap we like in thes meaningless comment boards… talk about growing up… go… grow…

    lol.

    gooooooooooooood night.


  22. 88 November 4, 2016 8:43 am

    I told you already, stop trying to get others approval. Nobody cares.


  23. Education First November 4, 2016 9:30 am

    88 take a deep breath. Please go and use your Quest Insurance to see a psychiatrist. It’s not too late. It’s clear that not being allowed to be a part of the Red Raider Family and the coaching staff not wanting you around is really having a negative effect on you. Please get help before you do something drastic to yourself.

    Here are some of the top doctors in their field out of Honolulu. I am not sure you can get there since you don’t have a car. Try and see if Quest will allow monies to rent you a car. Call it a medical emergency. Or nowdays you can Facetime or Skype so you don’t have to go to their offices.

    But then again, I am not sure if you own a computer, have an active wireless connection, or have a cam. I don’t think the doctors would appreciate having a live Skype/Facetime Session with you if you are stealing someone’s wireless of using the public computer at Walmart. That might be a little awkward for them. But here it goes anyway….It’s worth a try to save your life buddy.

    Please tell these reputable doctors that your issues are:
    1) You have a feeling of being unwanted.
    2) You resort to name calling on public blogs to vent.
    3) You lack adult coping mechanisms.
    4) You have serious episodes of sub psychotic rage.
    5) You potentially have “Intermittent Explosive Disorder.”

    And this highly likely stems from “not being allowed to coach for the Kahuku Football Team.”

  25. 88 November 4, 2016 10:35 am

    You needed four whole paragraphs to say something that could of been said in two sentences. I know sucking is how you making your living but now its carrying over to your writing. Your purpose is to entertain me clown. Get to it. Remember less is more.


  26. Red Raider Pride November 4, 2016 10:56 am

    Good luck to our boys! We gonna bring another one back home. I do agree that this is too funny.

    But it’s funny because 88 is getting the hamma. 88 please stop. You are giving our community a bad name.

    Haha rrfl, I agree this is hilarious. Education while he’s an ass at time is hilarious. He keeps giving it to 88. It’s not even a fair match, lol. One guy is creative and the other guy keeps writing the same stuff.

    This is better than cable tv or Live at the Apollo. Haha classic!

    You needed four whole paragraphs to say something that could of been said in two sentences. I know sucking is how you making your living but now its carrying over to your writing. Your purpose is to entertain me clown. Get to it. Remember less is more.

    ——————————
    If less is more, than why do dissertation involved hundred or often thousands of pages of research? Then the publication of one’s findings to support the dissertation often involves hundred of pages of writing?

    I guess when you never got your GED more is less since that is all your brain can handle.

    But on a more serious note. Please take what the SA Blogging Community is trying to do. We are trying to get you some serious help.

    Potentially having I.E.D. is no joke!

    “I know sucking is how I make a living.”

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU EVER COME UP WITH THAT! I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. I AM ACTUALLY ROLLING DOWN ON THE GROUND DYING OF LAUGHTER! I KNOW SUCKING IS HOW I MAKE A LIVING!

    88, YOU ARE THE NEXT EDDIE MURPHY! YOU ARE THE NEXT RICHARD PRYOR! YOU ARE THE NEXT DAVE CHAPELLE! YOU ARE THE NEXT KEVIN HART!

    THAT IS THE GREATEST COMEBACK EVER! I MAKE A LIVING BY SUCKING! HAHAHAH!

    OK, now that I am done laughing (sorry I needed 10 minutes to stop laughing and wipe out all the juice that came out of my nose due to laughing), let’s be serious again.

    I know it hurts that you are not and never will be a part of the Kahuku team. Please stop trying to camouflage or misdirect the audience with your nonsense. We all see the root of the problem.

    PLEASE! PLEASE! Get yourself some help before it’s too late.

    And yes, I needed this many paragraphs. I know it’s hard for you to follow along. You are used to scholarly writing such as:

    See Jane run. See Jane run fast. See Jane run fast up the hill. See Jane run fast up the hill with Bill.

    Don’t worry, in time and with help from the proper adults, you might one day understand 1/2 of the stuff I write.

    Read slowly and sound it out so you understand. Less is more for you…. And calm the hell down. Your anger is affecting your typing. Your a clown for crying out loud. Be happy.

    How you guys get so much time to pound each other and call each other names is beyond me.


  30. Education First November 4, 2016 12:06 pm

    88 please stop deflecting the problem. We all know you are angry since you are not and never will be a part of the Kahuku Football Team.

    Step #1 to fix your issues are to identify the issues. Stop pointing fingers. Stop making excuses. Stop being angry. We all understand. The name calling doesn’t help you.

    Didn’t your mom teach you that in order to fix yourself you must first need to point at yourself. You will not be able to fix your problems as long as you continue to not accept that you are hurt and angry for bot being a part of the Kahuku Football Family.

    Step #2 is to get help. After you identify that you have an issue (I listed your problems on a previous post) you need to find a professional to help you. It might take months or years to find the right therapist for you. So don’t get frustrated. It’s a process.

    Step #3 is to trust your therapist and work hard. Keep striving for self-improvement. Remember, changes won’t happen over night. Please trust your therapist.

    And remember, no matter how hard you try to fix yourself, please don’t revert to what you are right now. In the end you will never be a part of the Kahuku Football Community. But don’t allow that hurt and pain to stop you from fixing yourself.

    You can do it! We believe in you!


  31. Red Raider Pride November 4, 2016 12:10 pm

    Education stop. I actually spit out my drink just now. I agree you guys got too much time, lol. But 88 please come up with finisher stuff. You keep writing the same stuff over and over again and if this was a diss battle you are getting served my friend.

    Also congrats to Sol-Jay! Super proud of u boy! USA Today Star of the week! Chee-Hoo!

    But on the reals 88, man U getting straight whipped.


  32. Red Raider Pride November 4, 2016 12:12 pm

    Sorry typo. I meant 88 come up with “funnier” stuff. You trying to cut the boy down but none of the stuff you write is fire. It’s kinda weak sauce and if anything u making urself look weak. 88 u gotta bring it hard or no bring me at all. Represent Kahuku hard against this townie. Right now we losin on here cuz of u!


  33. Red Raider Pride November 4, 2016 12:39 pm

    88 stop. I just spit out my drink. Education please come up with funnier stuff.
    Dude stop pretending to be other people so that you look good. Your a clown be yourself.


  34. Red Raider Pride November 4, 2016 12:51 pm

    Wow this guy 88 is desperate. I guess like Al said. Anyone who disagree with 88 is all the same. No worries. Just come up with funnier stuff though. Ur getting schooled doe.


  35. Education First November 4, 2016 12:57 pm

    88 I don’t need anyone to back me up. Nor do I need to talk to myself.

    But for the um-teenth time, please stop trying to distract! YOU NEED HELP FOR YOUR PROBLEM!

    No matter how much you taunt, tease, and insult, that will not help you fix your problem.

    I am sorry 88. I am not the Kahuku Principal. I am not the Kahuku AD. I am not Coach Tata. I cannot get them to allow you to be a part of the Kahuku Football team so give it up.

    I don’t know what you did in the past that is making them not want you around. I do not like in Kahuku. But what you did must have been real bad since they said you cannot be a part of their team.

    So take a deep breath. Let it go! Work on yourself and get help! Everyone sees it. If you notice, not a single person from your community is supporting you. They ENTIRE RAIDER NATION know you have a sick sick problem.

    All kidding aside. Man you really need help. I am not messing with you anymore. I am not teasing. I am being real. You got some major issues dude. Use the info I put earlier and get on it now before it’s too late.

    I mean, pretending to be your alter-egos (too meke, anywaaays, good story) is one thing. But now pretending to be a new user who is obviously not you speaks of insanity.

    I hope there are no sharp objects around you man. Seriously….

    I am kind of worried for my life. This crazy bastard might shoot me, Al, and anyone who disagrees with him.

  36. Education First November 4, 2016 12:58 pm

    And 88 I am not trying to be funny anymore. I am being serious. You are sick and really need help.

    #nojoking #beingserious #pleasegethelp


  37. 88 November 4, 2016 12:58 pm

    It don’t matter how many times you change your username. If you think like a clown, type like a clown and post like a clown. Than buddy you is a clown. Now entertain me clown.


  38. Education First November 4, 2016 1:03 pm

    I don’t want to entertain anyone. I want you to get help. It’s scary how bad your problems are. I hope there are not any kids by you right now.

    Please call 911 asap and get some help buddy. I really hope you are single. If you have a wife and kids then the police needs to be called immediately. I fear for their safety.


  39. 88 November 4, 2016 1:07 pm

    You hope I’m single? What? Is that why you keep asking people out to lunch? Now that right there is funny. Good job clown.


  40. Education First November 4, 2016 1:09 pm

    You are just proving my point to the world. It’s scary. You do not need to answer my previous question. I think the entire football and Kahuku community can now see why all the previous coaches and administration at Kahuku do not want you involved with their team.

    There is no way any adult would trust you around kids. I hope you are not at any Kahuku games. After reading all of the things you write, I think the kids might be scared for their lives and not be able to play up to their potential.

    It’s scary to think this person (88) is part of any community. If 88 lived in my community and I knew about it, I would add extra security, cameras, a house alarm, and probably security guards or a body guard.

    This is the first steps of a serial creeper. For real.


  41. Education First November 4, 2016 1:10 pm

    Uh, yes! I could only imagine what you would do if you had a daughter.

    BRRR! Cold thoughts just raced though my body. The thought of you being around children is frightening.


  42. Education First November 4, 2016 1:11 pm

    88 stop being a pedophile and a creeper! There are laws!


  43. 88 November 4, 2016 1:13 pm

    Its a good thing your not paid to think. Your paid to suck and entertain. And your doing a very good job at it. Bravo clown.


  44. AUWE November 4, 2016 2:06 pm

    Lmao! The two of you need a time out!
    Anyways back to football, I noticed on the SL article Kapolei coach Hernandez was mentioning how he thought the seedings were weird? Personally I don’t really care, but just makes me wonder even more that 88 and a few others had more then a good argument about it??? Sounds like not all the coaches are happy about it!


  45. 88 November 4, 2016 2:52 pm

    “Never mess with a Scicilan when death is on the line! Hahahahahaha arghhhh…..”


  46. grabum.bythe.puppy.gate November 4, 2016 6:15 pm
