Just merge the 2 ILH OIA all season long..no more complaining about who had tougher schedule or that ILH plays way less games then OIA have then play each other all year long and find out who really is the best.

Public schools should have their own state tournament. The private schools can continue to do all they do and compete in their own private school state tournament. We would have a public school $ private school Champion. No laugh as this option has been discussed.

I believe the amt of teams in the respective 3 brackets being considered is 6 – 8 – 8. thus in the scenario described above by Roosevelt99 would have possibly Leilehua coming down to middle Tier. I hear thru the grapevine that Kaimuki wants to move up to middle Tier &a possibly Nanakuli moving down to D2. Also hear PC wants to move to D2, whaaaat? They got talent and a very large school enrollment within the top 10 of the public schools on Oahu. They should be forced to stay in middle Tier. No be Panties Chargers!

The only shame I see is the ILH Agenda FORCING the OIA to adopt these types of playoff formats by stacking the deck with recruiting and destroying the competitive balance in high school football. The very existence of ILH football undermines any state championship and the spirit of the game itself. If you want high school football to just be played by mercenary teams in the Recruit Bowl, then by all means, go ahead. But if you care about community and community pride, and what the spirit of the game is all about, instead of just money, then you know what position you have to take.

Disband all the football teams in the ILH and we’ll see what kind of enrollment numbers these “elite educational schools” have. LOL what a joke. RRFL!

10 to 4 participants. Just to stop the ILH from getting another berth in the OPEN Division.

Result- No OIA state champ in any bracket. With all the talent they got. Such a shame.
