In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, “Stop whining!” It’s always the refs, it always this or its always that, whatever. Enough. Even if Damien had scored and the QB didn’t fumble, ‘Iolani QB missed a wide open receiver who could have crawled into the end zone backwards AND they missed the chip shot field goal. PLUS that call on the ‘Iolani coach that negated what was probably the game clinching first down deep in Damien territory. Everything always evens out so just relax. It’s sports, things happen, ball isn’t always going to bounce your way. It’s how you deal with this adversity as a coaching staff, a player, a parent, and a fan. Excuses are like you know what, everyone has one. Blaming is an easy way out. Whatever happened to “hey we gave 110%, we left our guts and sweat and tears out on the field, unfortunately we came up short but I can look myself in the mirror and be proud”. That’s a victory in my book.

Sports parent: This all starts at the top, Damien needs to redifine their coaching Staff. Their all cartoons always close but no cigar. The OC is terrible, Head Coach a clown… poor ting .. The old guy that coached there and smoked cigars once said “Off with the head and the body will follow”!!Lol. Anyhow congrats to the scrappy mighty monarchs, and back to the drawing board For them .. Good job Raiders advancing to the state tourney, Wendell did his homework once again !! I see the raiders dominating D1 for the next few years in the ILH.

Frustrated for Damien’s team. I watched the game and feel like once again, they made mistakes at key times. It is tough enough to play against their internal demons, but last night the refs made it even harder. Not saying the refs were making those erroneous calls on purpose, but they obviously missed a few calls that ended up being the difference. I love how Iolani plays, always above their talent level with discipline and a good game plan. Damien, keep working on things like composure, intelligence, and control. You have the talent…you have the heart….now harness the intellectual side of the game and you can get to where you want to go. Congrats to Iolani…you did it again.
