@”UNITY=STRENGHT”
” I would give a shout out to the original coaches who were players of that Championship team to come back Farrington your alma mater needs you they are the ones that deserve to be on the field…” – who are you kidding? Those Coaches or any other Coaches don’t want to Coach with Randall. He’s a tyrant! He’s not open to suggestions or looks to other ways on how he can better himself and improve or make corrections for his team. It’s his way or none. That’s why he’ll never win a championship!

@unity…… history and pride???How about administration politics? Farrington has had teams that could have won OIA and states during Okimoto’s reign. History and Pride??? Your talking fairy tales, hold on to Okimoto only cause he was on the only championship team they had, be the head coach when Coach Diaz stadium opens just because he played for him?….. here a lesson on history and pride…. Kahuku and St Louis, 2 of the winningest programs in the state. St louis under call Lee unbeatable during prep Bowl Era, Cal Lee departs and the program falls to avg. After how many coaches later st louis reunites with cal lee and now they are relevant again winning ilh and a shot at states. Kahuku they don’t except losing at all, they’ve replaced every Coach after a losing season even if that Coach won OIA and states…. That’s history and pride, The Administration knowing the schools history in winning championships and having enough pride to tell a coach Win or Go Home!!!!

I never like say anything but thank god other people think the same thing as me. Coach Okimoto, thank you for everything you have done for our community and our kids. You did one heck of a job. But maybe it’s time for you to move on.

Trying to get rid of Coach Randall now when there stadium is just about to be completed and named after the Late great Skippa Diaz who Randall was his running back at the time that won there only Championship you kidding me. I heard a story once that Randall had the opportunity to go to a ILH school right before they won but decided to stay with his brothers at home there is is history and pride here. You don’t just throw it away because you not winning games crazy if that’s the case I know of alot of teams that would need major over hauls. Maybe it’s not the coach maybe it’s other people wanting his Job who knows could be from his own staff or related maybe that’s where the change needs to take place. I would give a shout out to the original coaches who were players of that Championship team to come back Farrington your alma mater needs you they are the ones that deserve to be on the field when it’s completed and that makes the most sense.

I always watch Farrington football games since my playing days back in the 90s. It’s hard to watch sometimes. We so close but sometimes we just cannot get over the hump. NOkimoto is right. Randall is my boy but maybe we need some change with the coaching.

Many years in the top ten why because they have the players to do it they are what makes a team look good coachs are just there to give them the mentality to succeed and believe in what there doing will get them there also there knowledge gives there team different views. Kahuku had so much head coachs and staff it was just a wealth of knowledge over the years so is milililani they won championships why the coachs and also there players at the time now new rules no recruiting but (with this open division they should look into it again it gives the ILH a big advantage) they still there getting bye because York always trys different things that works. What I have seen these recent years that teams had getting into the championship was one speedy QBS who can pass as well as scramble if need be to get the first down. offensive schemes to change the looks and strategy like recently Kahuku uses the elephant or jumbo formation given from Tata who was on Stanfords staff whos uses it in the pac 12 to win games. (Coach Okimoto should look into unbalanced formations run and pass I think it would help he has the beef) which Kahuku uses with great effect. They also use the i formatiom from milililani which milton used with great effect why because it works if you have a QB who can also run. When Waianae was stopping there jumbo package they used it to get into the end zone. The spread was it before with Cal lee who used it to win many championships and also they had the players there 3rd string could pass for there first which I believe is a advantage Kahuku uses it with great advantage there depth in there positions is unreal like the private schools fresh legs to tire your opponent waianae defense was just getting worn down until the tires fell off in fact they were in the game when braddah man decided to run on 4th down on there 30 one important key (field position )if you cannot get yards on the other team at least try to make them earn every yard by giving them more yards to run it back the other way but I digress. Getting back using a spread that was meant to give smaller teams a chance but being you have star players with depth it was a winning combination back then prep bowl after prep bowl now just about everybody with a small team does it to give them a chance. But the Bottom line is the same physical superiority cancels all theory at the end you got the beef your chances of winning are greatly improved but it doesnt stop there its also the different ideas and knowledge that leads a Big team like that now days into our Championships bottom line.

I wonder what HPW rankings will look like this week. SL got Waianae idle at 4, Mililani and Farrington switch spots. Curious to see especially based off the criteria that’s used for the rankings. After one of the voters that was quoted in a previous article said “When I rank teams, I try to rank them based on the results of what has taken place on the field”. So let’s see where Waianae ends up after the Farrington Mililani game last nite….. even though Farrington was handed 2tds by the refs… but that’s none of my buisness *wink……
1. Kahuku (shutout #4 Waianae)
2. St. Louis (idle)
3. Punahou (idle)
4. Mililani. (Upsets Farrington)
5. Farrington (lose to Mililani but Scored on both sides of the ball and force 3int.)
6. Waianae (based on what has taken place on the field, you decide)
