they should take ILH players off the all-state list. the ILH all star list is good enough for them. they can decide who’s the best among the recruited. we only interested in who’s rooted

Looks like this years Waipahu team is the victim of doubt. Other than St Louis, this years waipahu team wouldve given any open div team a run for their money. How you know waipahu cannot hang? Werent they a part of the Old OIA west! Moreover Year in and year out, its teams like waipahu who lose their talent to private schools.

Waipahu spanked Waianae who is in the open division… So to say the lower division teams cant compete or wouldn’t put up numbers that is far from it. People say Waipahu cant win when moved up… Well they went from D2 to D1 and ended up winning the D1 championship. Give kids props regardless of levels. Some in public school don’t have the opportunity to go to a private school, and some in private school (sitting on the bench) would make a D1 program legit. Aloha forward and stop hating

Yup, those kids in the lower division would never have those stats in the open! The Open is the Best Of the Best teams and so the kids should be rewarded accordingly!! Look every time a lower division team wins their division, they start thinking they could’ve beaten the upper division Champs!!!wrong , it’s been proven year after year!! For example Waipahu, congratulations on winning their division and they’ve done it in the pass, but when they moved up with the Big Boys, they cannot hang!!!! That’s why they created divisions!! Competition is Totally Different and there is a Big difference. So Not make their own division All State Team!!!

NO D2 or D1 should be in the same category as the Open athletes.
The RBS that made ALlL State are good but they wouldn’t be nearly as dominant in the OPEN.

Sensitivity aside, there are OPEN players that are not on this list that are BETTER than the non-open players that made this team selection.

1 kahuku player
3 waipahu players

C’mon fam.

Separate the division all-state teams like the mainland does so the kids get more exposure.
A kid looks much better as a college recruit by making an all-state Open, DI or DII team instead of an honorable mention on only one state team.

Same as rankings, separate it. Iolani won 6, 7, 8 DII titles in a row but you NEVER heard of them as a USA/MaxPreps Top 25 team!! “Reality”.
