Do they belong playing in D1?..if the bracket is permanent and set up the way it is this year where OIA teams and D1 ILH teams are all “OPEN”…then YES!!! They belong in D1, not D1 “OPEN”. But FOR NOW, because of the inconsistency of turnouts of players..D2 with the “option” is where they stand. IMUA LAHAINALUNA!!

Bro, that’s not gonna happen for a while. We staying in D2 for a while. Our boys are young and we struggled when it comes to D1 teams. (Maui and Baldwin can only compete in the D1 tournament not the open tourney.) Also, don’t try to make us go up. (We getting negative responses from all over saying that we should be in D1)

If Damien wins they clinch the DI spot and ILH D2 Champions. If SF wins they win the second round, and now 1st round winner plays 2nd round winner for D2 ILH Championship the next week! More games for those ILH D2 schools to prepare them for the DI playoffs! I hate these private schools have an edge by playing right into tournament time!

Their roster took a tremendous hit this year as they lost a lot of talent to graduation. Last year they declared for the Division I state tournament prior to the season starting, and even though they went winless in ILH Division I play (vs. St. Louis, KS, & Punahou), they still qualified for the Div I tournament because they were the only team in the ILH to make the aforementioned declaration (St. Louis, KS, & Punahou declared for the OPEN division, and St. Francis, Damien and Pac-5 declared for the Div II tournament). Despite their conference record, they were able to make a remarkable run in the state tournament before eventually falling to Mililani in the state title game.
This is NOT the same Iolani team from a year ago…..Far from it. Any coach/team in the state that had Iolani’s roster this year would have undoubtedly declared for Division II as well.

I thought the DII ILH champion competed in the DII states, while the DI went to the open division?

The Iolani Reds do not belong in Div 2. Div 2 is for schools like Kalani and Waialua. I seen Iolani destroy Waianae in the 1980 Prep Bowl. 32,000 fans attended.

This guy has been around since Jesus was around. That’s how old this geezer is. Yeah buddy, with an O-Line that averages 5’8 and 175lbs they definitely belong in D1. And that butt whooping that St Francis just put on them really shows they belong in D1.

But, at least you aren’t crying about Cal Lee ruining football on this post. That in itself is amazing.

After this year they should open a d3 so Iolani can play pop warner teams and win a “state title”
