Iolani is always overrated year after year. Always ranked higher than some of the open teams. But when they play these bigger teams and get hit by them big boys they fold and make all kinds of bs excuses!

Maybe if we talking GPA’s, SAT scores and what colleges they will be attending, not football.

This must also be taken into consideration … look at Iolani’s facilities, equipment, staffing, overall support (academics and athletics). Then compare it to Waipahu. There is a legit argument that Waipahu had no business being in the same game as Iolani … and yet the Marauders pulled it off!

IFO-

Then say that.

No need the other excuses.

Even in your response, “They have no business being on the same field as Waipahu”. It still ekes out.

Proud of the Raiders for being #oneteam and holding your heads up high. You all kept it clean, acted with class, and showed others what the motto means.

For players that are often underestimated and not in a school that recruits; you all played as a team. But even more, you all kept your academics up because there is more than football.

A pleasure to watch you this season. You are winners to me.

Harmonic Man, you miss the point. Iolani didn’t ‘t lose because they too small in size and numbers, they lost becuz they did play their A game. They have no business being on the same field as Waipahu but Marauders barely won. Iolani dont have those 2nd half turnovers, could have been different outcome.

@Falcon Future

In all seriousness, it was a different Waipahu team that showed up. It was also a different team from the one that throttled Waianae in the preseason. Waipahu kids have come a long way since August.

‘Iolani certainly had a great season too. It is a turnaround from that forgettable season which started with giving Hilo it’s first win 62-35 on Oahu since the 70s…

FYI they just got their season ended by Waipahu. Yup, Waipahu!!!

This is the same Waipahu team that Iolani beat by 40 at the beginning of this season. If Iolani is considered well coached, Waipahu must have had the New England Patriots coaches on the sidelines last week!

94 Block represent!!!

Super fun to watch these guys play. They fly all around the field on offense and defense. Well coached, that’s for sure.
