Frustrating situation for Ka’u. Actually too good for 8 man under current structure but, most years, undermanned for 11 man.

Didn’t Kaimuki play with 25 kids all season and went to the championship? They even beat Kamehameha Big Island in states I think. A lot of it is coaching and kids mind set! Teams should even look at Iolani too, they don’t have the biggest kids but compete every game!

Ka’u would have been competitive even this year in 11-man. We’ll see how this turns out. Kohala and Ka’u each have won a BIIF championship, though ancient (Kohala 1960, Ka’u 1962). With Konawaena still rebuilding, I think the Trojans have a shot at it.

In a time, where football numbers at schools were at a decline due to concussions and other things, it’s good to see football flourishing from 8 to 11 man football. I hope these programs can sustain numbers and compete.
