The 1970s were the most exciting games the old Honolulu Stadium the rivalries between the public and private schools was awesome I remember Farrington facing KAM. or St.louis or Punahou and those were the toughest games played and were so exciting but when the private and public schools split up it was different but they were great memories especially buying the newspapers and looking at the lineups and the ribbons students purchased before the games representing the schools nothing like that today now they bring banners We are the Governors of kalihi was a great cheer amen and God Bless

3-Final score 15 to 6

Thanks for adding it. You’re correct, it was an all Oahu team but as close as you can get at that time. Relied on only memory up to this past year. One note, on the defensive second team, Joe Cho is listed as a senior. He was a sophomore. ( I believe).

In reply to Casual Observer. Thanks, I added it but I don't consider it an all-state team. It is all-oahu.

This was the first year of the old ILH split when the 5 public schools left. I played for Farrington and we were all sick to death of the split. Yes many players who lived and played in the Kalihi area did go to the private schools, ( Mosi Tatupu, etc.). But we welcomed the challenge and remained close friends and only wished the best for them. The one thing we missed the most was the rivalries, Farrington vs. Punahou, St. Louis, Kam, etc. Good to see the pics of Cliff Laboy, Rey Leonardo, etc. Even Chester Grey, Ken Kashiwaeda, Joe Cho. Mahalo plenty!!

@Ghandi it’s called people making sacrifices to send there kids to get a better education. It’s no secret our public education system is not up to par, thus many of our kids cannot even make it in college, so parents make sacrifices! Stop crying and get over it!

Oh when you have breakfast with AANNYYWWAAYYSS go compare notes and cry together. Your agenda runs deep!!!
