Second only to Mater Dei (Calif.) in their own state and the entire nation, it is no surprise that the roster of St. John Bosco is a vault of golden talent.
Up and down the lineup, the Braves suit up four- and five-star football players. Here’s a look at what St. John Bosco and Mililani have on paper. The teams meet on Saturday, 6:30 p.m. kickoff, at John Kauinana Stadium.
St. John Bosco is ranked No. 2 in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25. Mililani is tied for No. 2 with Punahou in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser Top 10.
The Braves have seven players in the 247sports.com Top 50 (California). They have 10 players among the top 118 in the Golden State. Here is a look at players who are either nationally rated, have at least one scholarship offer, or are key contributors.

Dang. Come sat., Mililani call 9-1-1. Police,Fire and EMT all respond.
Run…run…run…like how St. John Bosco will run the score …Hawaii 9-0 against mainand team …can Mililani make it 10-0 this year??? Mililani QB need to show up if not Rod will recruit QB next year. G O O D L U C K !!!
???/Notes give you credit you’re finally acknowledging that Mililani recruits too (i know I know not as much as St. Louis) but lighten up on Brendyn its his first year at the reigns he has the arm talent, composure and his decision-making is improving each game. His Dad and Uncle Benny were humble STL standouts.
Hawkish, I already said many times before that I don’t hate on rod york for what he’s doing. because cal lee and the other ILH “schools” recruited so much that it broke high school football, why would I slam rod york for doing what he needs to do to succeed? you go after the source of the infection not the symptoms. one day we’ll put kids over profits, but until then, the OIA has to do what it has to do to be competitive
Lets go Mililani, this Red Raider is cheering for you for this game. Represent the 808 state the best you can.
Speaking of recruiting, how did Mililani ever get Wynden Ho’ohuli to transfer from St Lulu?
So what if Mililani recruits? They got to do that just to be competitive with the ILH, and their recruiting has not at all destroyed the competitive balance of Hawaii state high school football.
John Bosco is just like St Louis, a win-at-all-costs high school football program that destroys the competitive balance of their respective leagues.
Wynden Ho’ohuli transfer to Mililani because his only second string not a starter…like Deblake if he stay at St. Louis he will be playing special team only …QB Agbayani getting better if he play not good school….but this next two game for Mililani I dont know
Mahatma Gandhi:
Kinda sorta. They’ve ruined CIF SOUTHERN SECTION D1. As everybody knows they’re going to be in the finals every year.
When it comes to their league, the Trinity League, not so much. Due to their recruiting, it made Mater Dei step up. They hadn’t won a national title since the mid-1990s prior. It also made JSERRA step up. They’re not as good as last year, but they finished 3rd in the Trinity in 2018 and yet still was a national Top 25 team. The other 3 Trinity schools also have plenty of D1 guys and they generally beat everybody else they play.
Tell u this much…. Mililani got balls to face one of the best team in the nation win or lose…. I figure st Louis or Punahou would step up and take the challenge… so all you negative comments shut ur muli up and take a seat…. go Trojans
