HLI-go watch the film and then comment on how you would take a knee when Waiakea is the one turning over the ball in the end zone. You assume Hilo was running up the score when that’s the not true at all. Easy to talk but you sounding dumb commenting on a game you didn’t watch! That’s why you don’t hear the Waiakea parents and coaches and administrators complaining, they saw what we saw.

Mean. The point was, not enough was done to avoid the score.
Like I really going let my 300lb lineman run the ball.

You really are from Hau’ula.

Youve been super busy on here. You say all the buzzwords but I suspect you really dont know football all that well. Which is why you defending a 104-0 score.

In all the years Ive followed HS football, I dont think I have seen the RR’s run up the score on teams that they obviously could have. How come??

Yeah, but when you’re 300 pound lineman blowout his knee. Or you’re punter gets blasted and breaks his leg. When these athletes do things they are not accustomed to. That’s when injuries happen. That’s why they practice. Muscle memory. You do it over and over so you’re body gets used to it.Duh. Practice? We talking about practice! ?Practice, we talking about practice…

After the score was say maybe 56-0, Hilo could of put in their 3rd string punter and punt on 1st down every Off. Series until the end…

In the League, we agree to the same belief: let the players play…the coaches coach…and officials officiate” Plain and simple.

Are you talking about the AYSO League??

In that case, the second group failed small kine, on both sides of the field.

It truly is on the head coach to determine what values they are teaching their players. Mercy and sportsmanship werent any of them on this night. There is no way to defend this type of score, absolutely no way.

It is my opinion that not enough was done to avoid this from happening. If you are a good coach, you know there are other strategies that could have been utilized to slow down your team without disrespecting the opponent. On that point, some have said that it would be more disrespectful to take a knee. Why do that? Maybe have your slowest lineman be running back and have him run the ball. Put all the back ups in at line and have them block. There are options. At some point in the game, it should have been evident that strategies to keep the score from being run up should have been put into play much earlier. 83-0 at the half, cmon. No tell me this couldnt be avoided. Just not savvy enough coaches.

At the end of the day, it truly is what you decide to teach your players regardless what your opponents may think. Taking a knee or other strategies may have your opponent feeling disrespected(I cannot control that) but teaching MY players the value of mercy, respect and sportsmanship are much more important.

Coach Kaeo is a good guy and I am sure he was doing what he thought best so lets just chalk this up as a learning experience and move forward……….and not run up the score the next time they meet.

@Hau’ulaBoy- well said, taking a Knee from the the beginning of the second qtr is disrespectful, not to mention you give the ball back to Waiakea for them to fumble in the end zone? I was there, the score was mostly due to Waiakea’s lack of preparation and lack of fundamentals which is a coaching issue not the fault of Hilo. Ignorance can be overlooked, stupidity after knowing the facts is blaming Hilo like some are doing here.
