I told you. The refs were bought off. Refs won the game. Saint Lulu just took home the W. This entire state tournament needs to have an asterisk next to it at the very least. What should happen is a complete investigation by HPW and also possibly state AG office.

Head referee Michael Goshima a St. Louis class of 1969 Grad was the head umpire for the Open division Championship game. Can HPW do an investigation as to why this is not a conflict?

Is this another one of Cal Lees tactical advantages?

Austin Chang that’s all good but you need to work on starting games earlier like 12noon 1st game and so on so we don’t stay late like 1am on the 3rd game? Just a suggestion better to start Early and finish early:) Thank you…

OIA 6 Team would make it to the OIA Playoffs, OIA 2 Team would not make it to the OIA Playoffs

In the OIA PLAYOFFS if the OIA Team in the third round lost, then they should compete for OIA 3rd Place, to make to the State Open Division.

State: OIA Champions Vs 3rd Place OIA

Only 3 teams can make it to the State Playoffs, OIA Runner Up, OIA Champions, 3rd Place OIA, IHL CHAMPIONS.

4 Team will make it to the OIA Playoffs. Only 2 OIA, OIA RUNNER UP, AND OIA CHAMPIONS, 1 BIIF, AND 1 MIL.

I feel like that the OIA’s need to create a Open Division for the tougher teams like Mililani and Kahuku. I am tired of hearing teams like Aiea or Castle saying “It not fair, at all because every year they get blowout against Tougher Teams. What am trying to do is balance the team out. They need to create a Open Division or else Radford would not win any games at all. Hopefully you are listening OIA.

Let get more islands team around the States to participate in State Championship too. Please help us please.

Thank you for reading my statement I really accepriate.

@Frank Mauz, do remember what it was like being in the stands during those tripleheaders? Sure, the first game at 3:30p was appropriately called the sun bowl, but as soon as the suns shadowed crossed the mauka stands, the stadium came alive with the hundreds if not thousands of fans that came to see 6 teams clash week in and week out for the price of one game, knowing every game counted in the quest for that one chance at a Prep Bowl title. Fans from each school got to know those from other schools waiting for their teams to take the field. Bands from the respective schools would play side by side on occasion. Fans also got to see the Homecoming halftime ceremonies from the respective schools. Those were the fun times, now hardly anyone goes except during the state championship.

In 1985, i covered an ILH triple-header at Aloha Stadium for the Advertiser. So thinking in terms of the media and deadlines, the length of the day is awful. Also, very tough on stadium employees and families with small children. A high priority should be that the games start ON TIME. Consider
Noon, 3:30 and 7:00. If there is gap time between games, provide entertainment like bands

Move the championship games back to the Friday after Thanksgiving. Along with that, start the season on Labor Day weekend instead of the hot, humid mid-August. This is Hawaii, not Alaska.

The word “tournament” just doesn’t sound right when connected to football. The NCAA does not call their football playoffs a “tournament” and neither should we. Actually, I think HHSAA has it correct, but some media is the one doing that.

A big NO to more games which = more time away from the classroom. Athletics has become more important than academics. Bad enough that it is happening at the college level, shameful at the high school level.
