@Hi
That year with Milton and timateo and malepeai , they supposed to win it , they just had athletes , matter of fact , they should’ve won back to back . With all the transfers and talents that they have , they always come up short . Like the post above said , take away what they do best , they will not have answers .

As far as Kahuku , they too just has athletes . They just let em loose . Going to be an interesting year.

That class of mililani where they had Milton, Timoteo, and Malepaeai was the best class they will ever have. Hopefully they can balance the competition and power with another class like that, but I doubt that will happen again.

As for Kahuku, all they need is to find that one premier HB and a solid physical D. But it all starts with that one or maybe 2 badass halfbacks. They never really leaned on a throwing qb. All they need is to resurrect people like Vai Notoa, Ken Faavae, Mulivai Pula, Aofaga Wily, Vakapuna, Brown. That’s how they beat teams, physicality and pounding the ball on the ground.

Crusader Dad- St. Louis will always be up there because of their established football program throughout the years. But before Cal Lee took over again in 2014, they weren’t as dominant, with Tengan, Arcenaux, and Wright as head. But you’re right they were still pretty good.

Mililani has a good team. But we have all seen it in the past. Big games, big showdowns , they dont show up. Poor game management and poor adjusting. Thats been their story. take away what they do best and they have no answers. Coaching coaching coaching.

PSBoy-
RR’s recruit?? Thought it was just for basketball. As much as Transferville??

KamGradLuluDad-
Oh. Your son’s team is much more beatable than any other Lulu team weve seen during this current Champ run. So yes, every team is beatable. But, nobody cares if Waialua gets beat. Everyone is eagerly awaiting for when Lulu goes DOWN.

We will see if the baseline has shifted for everyone.

@ Hi – I agree the level of coaching at StL has always been high, even in the years the Lee’s were not there, StL was competitive.
@ILoveHawaii, – everyone is beatable…I too wonder about how much other teams play level has dropped. Mili looked decent in the earlier control scrimmage, but that wasn’t a full game. So it will be interesting how it goes in a full game, if OIA is able to have games…

Watch out for Mililani and Kahuku. They right up there with St. Louis, Punahou and Kamehameha. Who can blame the public schools for “recruiting” outside of their district. The ILH schools get to do it so why can’t they do the same. If you want to level the playing field and have competitive high school games then you gotta keep up with the competition or you fall by the way side and see blow out games. Kudos to some of the public school coaches as they figured out the key to success is to mirror the ILH schools and get the best talent possible and give the kids a better opportunity to get exposure and land a college scholarship.

Lulu is beatable this year.
But has the level of play fallen for all schools because of the off year??

With the exception of 9th graders who started in 2019, the rest of the starters for any team lack experience and did not have that transition year with outgoing seniors to adequately pass on the torch.
