I am just saying it is sad that Hawaii does not have a real football championship, where the best teams get in, regardless of affiliation. Just like the NCAA football championship. Would be more exciting to have watch, instead of these blowouts.

@aok, The ILH would need 7 teams in d1 for them to have 2 teams in the state tournament. The HSSAA’s formula for all sports Is you divide the amount of teams in your division ( ILH would be 4) by 6 (the amount of slots available in the tournament) that would give you .6 that would round off to 1. OIA has 14 ÷6= 2.3.it is what it is until till someone makes a change.

I agree that Kamehameha AND Punahou are both deserving of a chance to play for the state title but to call it fake is not giving credit to the teams who did make it. The rules need to change so the top teams are playing for the title.

Sad, that teams like Hilo are in the fake state tournament, while teams like Kamehameha and Punahou stay home.
