Punahou has been notorious for holding their students back a year. They have been doing this for decades! Their justification behind that move was that boys do not mature as fast as females. Therefore holding them back a year would put them on an even learning and social level with their female counterparts. So if it is good for the goose it is good for the gander.

@ ??? Good point on the ages of students and holding them back. I’m surprised how many private school students turn 18 the end of Jr year or the begging of their Sr year. Then, I was equally puzzled by the same issue in Public School…my son will turn just before his scheduled HS graduation.

@??? Even if you say they played with held back 11th graders, Damien still had seniors so it’s still embarrassing. But who am I know know? You know everything about the ages of these kids

@Dafun
Don’t forget the HP article about STL holding back a lot of Football players… so technically their not really a JV team cause some kids should be 11th grade.

I think what’s most disturbing and frankly pathetic is Iolani “Varsity “ playing in the ILH’s JV league and then listening to Felipe and Darren hype the Raiders instead of slamming them for not playing in the Open Division. Father Bray must be disgusted as Iolani to an all time low bearing up on 9th graders most of whom have little experience. At least Stl, Punahou and Kamehameha played against kids that were in the same grade during the ILHs two-tiered system over the last 21 years.

I do not want to make fun of the kids or anything and everyone should be respected, but I’m curious to see if anyone thinks there’s something wrong if a JV team of freshmen and sophomores can beat a team with juniors and seniors?
