Honolulu Star-Advertiser/Hawaii Prep World All-Decade Football Team: DEFENSE

Amazing: In the last Decade KAHUKU has a Lock on Every Defensive Back position.

If at midnight tonight I thought it was the end of a decade, this list sounds good. But, let’s be clear, the end of the second decade of this century comes December 31st, 2020 and not 2019. The start of this century (21st Century) began on January 1st, 2001 and ends December 31st, 2100. Please count each of the 10 years (decades) through the century and tell me that this is the end of the second decade of this century.

Funny observation @Observation, but it’s a matter of interpretation. There is no formal rule or law for this. Some will say this decade started on January 1, 2000. Others will say it started on January 1, 2001.

Either way … who cares?

Same with this article. What a waste of time.

Interesting list: Returner should’ve been Vincent Terrell in my opinion. Shepherd is a great player but 5 Returns against Waialua, Pearl City, Kalani, Kaiser, and Kaimuki outweight 4 Returns against Kailua, Long Beach Poly, Kamehameha and Saint Louis??

@ Billy Bob
You bettah do your research cause Kahuku has more STATE titles than any other school in Hawaii history.
So obviously they been able to stop other teams passing?

@???

The stat about Kahuku has more state titles is not a real stat. We not gonna include all the Prep Bowls that STL won in the 90s and 80s? Mind you Kahuku competed in those times too, so STL has been better for longer.

Care about it. These boys represent and they represent the state. Keep hungry and forget what everyone on here is talking about even myself. Lol… 808 standing out to the rest of the world in sports is what matters. Se, eye guy.

@???

Prep Bowl, State Championship, let’s be honest it’s the same thing. How many State championships have outer islands won? There’s not even an outer island team, in the Open Division. Different name, same thing.

And stop it with the whole recruiting thing already. Cause STL is the ONLY school that can recruit from the whole state? If recruiting is the only thing that makes STL state champions, why can’t the other private schools duplicate their success.

Wow, Defense of the Decade dominated by Kahuku, a small populated public school in the countryside. I counted 5 players. Awesome.

@ RR4L
The Story says Decade so there was NO prep bowl in the last decade only state tournament championships.
Why can’t other schools beat STL when they recruit too? The same reason No one can beat Punahou in boys volleyball? Punahou will always dominate boys volleyball while STL is the IMG of Hawaii for football & there is nothing wrong with that.

Kanai Mauga over Bothelo, in my option I just don’t see it with Bothelo.

Most Dominant: Kennedy Hands Down!!

Answer to “Observation”:

I understand your argument about when decades start and begin.

There are two ways to look at it, though.

Technically, the decade (for example) started Jan. 1., 2011 and will end on Dec. 31, 2020. Ten full years. I get it.

But the other way to look at it is when you start talking about the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’10s, ’20s, ’30s, etc.

Looking at it that way — and it will take some getting used to on your part — the 1970s, for instance, started on Jan. 1, 1970 and ended on Dec. 31, 1979.

Once Jan. 1, 1980, hit, the ’70s were history, even though technically the end of the decade is Dec. 31, 1980.

So, in a nutshell, what I’m saying is:

>> This All-Decade team is the team of the Teens (or ’10s) — from 2010 to 2019 and does not include any years from the ’20s.

Brennan fehoko was more dominant then tuitele
