Other than that, watching highlight of this RB, he runs tough! Grateful he got called up to Varsity! I believe he can do great things for this program this year and hopefully for the next two years as well. Hopefully Leilehua can continue to find some solid O-lineman to help this young man succeed in future seasons. And hopefully, hopefully this kid can help Leilehua in the Open Division if Leilehua can make it there soon. Personally I believe they could have a fair chance to replace Farrington, Waianae, or Kapolei, and maybe small kine chance replacing Campbell depending on the Sabers not having studs like the two brothers again. But Campbell seems to have a solid coaching staff and a large and growing enrollment down in the Ewa Plains and people outside wanting to play for them, so they’ll probably stay in the Open for a while. Go Mules!

IronSharpensIron. Man you’re so right! I remember those days where Leilehua was killing it in football. And that’s practically why I still love Leilehua football. Although I graduated from Kamehameha and played football under an awesome coach in coach Stant, my heart was always bleeding Green and Gold. And it’s because of that pride Leilehua brought to me and other guys my age. Growing up playing football for Wahiawā Thunderbolts and other sports I remember watching the Leilehua Mules play and Hugh Yoshida stadium or the Aloha Stadium and I remember having so much pride in that team and in my community. It still carries on to today. As a fan it’s unfortunate that some Wahiawā boys will bring their talents to other schools, but that’s there choice and I believe there’s no moral right or wrong choice when it comes to that. I wish they stayed and played for the Green and Gold, but it’s alright Next man up! I believe in reasons but not excuses. Kahuku always has guys from their school doing it big at other schools (mostly the Big 3 ILH schools) but they find a way to compete. Red Raiders have reasons to complain of some of their talent leaving, but no excuses that will stop them from competing. That’s what the Mules gotta do, find a way to compete and win with what they got. And if they keep winning, that pride will come back and most likely the talented Wahiawa boys will stay and play for the Green and Gold. Go Mules!

Don’t forget about military too, they move in and they move out.

If leilehua could keep all of that Wahiawa talent home. They could make it into the open division and run with the big boys. It’s just sad when Mililani recruits all of their players. Back when Andrew manly and Bryant moniz them ran the OIA, Mules Pride was through the roof. Would love to see the central boys stay home and put on for their community.
