‘Iolani was placed at the very opposite end of the bracket from Mililani, guaranteeing the Raiders that they wouldn’t have to meet up with the Trojans in the quarterfinals or semifinals. I’ll give them credit for beating Campbell, but they had the easier road to the title game.

Iolani(3-7) beat Moanalua & Campbell in there state bracket which led them to the Championship game. What more do you expect from a WINLESS ILH TEAM? This is shameful for all these D1 Division State contenders. A team that’s goes winless in their league making it to the championship game? Shame

It was because of the open that the neighbor islands had a shot congrads to the Lunas they where put in this bracket and they won right on should stick to this format but Kamehameha should have also been in the D1 finals would have been more interesting 1 & 2 ILH in the open 4 & 5 ILH in the D1 and 5 & 6 D2!!!

Do the readers know that Iolani graduates a class of only about 250? With half of them girls. I’m guessing Mililani graduates 600+ (3x) the size. Maybe 1000 boys to field a team with vs Iolani’s 300 or so. Just saying.

Don’t think Iolani is crying. What about the OIA, why don’t they want to join the ILH and make one fantastic three division football league on Oahu. Mililani was too good of a team playing for a D1 state title. They’re definitely an Open division program. Coach York does a fantastic job with that program. That’s why the ILH did not let Kamehameha play in the D1 division because they belong in the Open. The ILH has 3 Open teams for next year, Punahou, St Louis and Kamehameha. 3 D1 teams, Iolani, Damien, and St Francis. One D2 team, Pac-5. Hopefully, next year we’ll have just one very competitive 3 division high school football league on Oahu. This is the time to do it!

“The postseason was a different story for ‘Iolani. Changes in the state tournament enabled the Raiders to clinch a berth in the Division I state tournament before the regular season even began.”

Wait. Changes happened after the season started. So is this writer saying that the changes were known before before the season started? And only announced to everyone else three weeks into the season?

At least have the appearance of being fair.

the only statement i hear coming from iolani is crying and whining about not being able to climb the big mountain so they gotta find smaller mountains to climb. the oia dont cry about competitiveness we just take it on the chin like real men

“HPW makes statement that they are obviously biased towards ILH”

Good night.
