Change the format for the ILH where 2 teams make it . 2 out of 3 teams should make it. (St. Louis, Kameh, and Punohoe.

Geek is right, if you want the best teams in the state tournament, then you should use the rankings of SA’s poll and Scoring Live’s poll and perhaps make a coaches poll as a potential tie-breaker that’s what they essentially do at the FBS College level (yes it will still be controversial but a #1 or #2 team will never be excluded as will occur this year and virtually every year since 1999). Every year college football applies a similar metric (more sophisticated though). But I doubt that the OIA will ever agree to having the best teams in the tournament bc it will be forced to acknowledge the ILH teams’ prowess. Old grudges die hard.

The HHSAA should fix one problem and one problem only, get the best teams in the state tournament.
It shows, #1 and #2 are both ILH and only one can go? Lol this is a joke. And to top it off, Kamehameha should be in that tournament lol. Bottom line, you make a super league, the top 6 go to the state tournament regarless of what you league you in. That only makes sense and its fair. Or better yet go back to prep bowl, the outter island schools are no longer affiliated with the D1 so why not go back to that. The whole set up is wrong, somebody needs to fix it. ITS JUST PLAIN WRONG.

Ugly Olos, why is it this way? Iolani should be seeded and have a home game regardless of not having been crowned “ILH CHAMPIONS”. It should be based off of record and competition not league championships. STF too should be able to be seeded becasue they are getting work done in the D2. Any thoughts?

Yes #8 Question, Iolani will likely play Hilo at that bust up Hilo stadium where the stands are about 70 yards away from the field. The OIA rigged it so that Moanalua or Leilehua will play weak Maui HS on Oahu who just got dirty hurts from Lahainaluna. The OIA rigged all divisions in the State tourney in their favor, including hosing Punahou who is the number #2 team in the State and sending Iolani to an outer island where all Oahu teams get screwed every year by homer refs. Damien also gets tea bagged as they beat Waipahu and will likely pound Castle this week. When the leagues combined, they should’ve included all teams in the playoffs regardless of league affiliation. You have a season with different rules for each league even though they played against each other. But no worries, when its all said and done, STL will win the Open, Iolani Div 1 and St. Francis Div 2.

Jimmy H I’m with you… And this anywaaays character doesn’t have a clue that “RRFL nation” recruits in every sport! And they even recruit from the mainland… I’m sure this wouldn’t be an issue if Kahuku was having a winning year (rolling my eyes)…

I don’t care for the structure of the playoffs but hopefully being that it’s the first season they can work out the bugs and make it great for all our boys!

Anywaaays can’t get past his hate for the ILH that was likely caused by being cut from the Punahou girls dance squad, thus, all of his comments can never evolve into a productive discussion. Anywaaays is also Notes, Go Figure and the ???. This sistah-brahdah is so sad. If it wasn’t for the ILH, the OIA wouldn’t have cashed in on virtually all of the inter-league games….Farrington grossed over $33,000 (from ticket sales and parking fees) on Friday night as a result of playing STL. Kahuku, Campbell, Mililani and Kapolei grossed similar amounts from their games against Punahou, etc. Many OIA schools who have hosted 3-5 interleave games will reap close to a $100K for the season. This gives HI tax payers a small break while giving the OIA extra funds to cover needed athletic expenses. Whine all you want about the ILH but the OIA needs the inter-league games to cover huge DOE shortages in athletic expenses. Small-minded minions like Anywaaaays/ ??? will never get it.
