I think we seem to forget the student/athletes. Let the kids play as many games as possible and not focus so much on championships. Maybe the ILH may have the upper hand this year due to the covid but if you were to ask the kids they would want to play as many games as possible and just strap it and bring it on! The more games they play the more memories they have to cherish 5, 10, 20, 50 years down the road. Championships should be the least of our worries during this troubled times. Seems like the adults are the ones more focused on championships. Would be interesting to hear some of the students provide their opinion into this matter.

Know the old saying ,”keep it simple, s imon”. Just get through playing real games. One week at a time. I would not do cross overs. It only benefit ILH. As it is, the public schools have a whole mess of covid protocol not only involving sports, but everyday classes/online/teachers lawsuits/quarantine students, etc. Week by week, any team could be quarantine. Vaccine doesn’t immune you. Each week for a covid free team is like a win. ILH vs.OIA champions play for Oahu Bowl. Done.

OIAWest I couldn’t care less who “won” a scrimmage. Keep this same energy when they play Kahuku, Punahou, St Louis etc. if Mililani is good this year then great for them. More competition is better for the state. You a joke for thinking anyone actually wins or loses in a scrimmage, let alone playing their actual offensive or defensive schemes against each other. It’s all about getting that work in.

I hope OIA/ILH wants to challenge themselves and provide more opportunities for their kids to compete and play football.

Let’s play ball. Let’s get the games going and let the kids play. Never mind who looked good in 7 on 7 or scrimmages, we talking real games. Games are very different from 7 on. 7 and controlled scrimmages. Athletes and fans want the games to begin. Let’s go 808 decision makers make it happen.

Just have a OIA championship game & a separate ILH championship game. This is another messed up year for Hawai’i HS sports.

After the fun scrimmages Miliani Trojans had before the HS football shutdown, I’m sure there wouldn’t be hesitation on Mililani’s end to play any ILH team. The question is would any ILH team want to play Mililani considering the results of their scrimmages against Mililani this past summer. Apparently those who are conducting preseason rankings didn’t observe any of Mililanis Scrimmages lol!

Excellent point, Rebel. These “exhibition” games are probably not going to happen.
