OIA Guru…. those 6 would be an awesome tournament. Don’t get me wrong about neighbor islands… there are times when they do have kick butt teams and should be in the tournament. But, for this year, i don’t think they would or should be considered as one of the top 6 teams in the state. In fact, tonight’s game results support what i’m trying to say. I guess it comes down to what the fans want to see or watch. A game that has teams represented from each conference or a game of the top teams of the state. For me….. i prefer the latter.

On the contrary, I think Mililani vs Kamehameha would be an entertaining and competitive game.

So what you guys are saying is that Hawaii should have a three-tiered football playoff? One based off the “top 6” in terms of rankings, and then the other tiers are slotted as it is now? Sounds interesting, but how would those Rankings be determined? Media? Which one? If we look at this year, that would be St. Louis, Kahuku, Punahou, Mililani, Kamehameha, and Waianae. Seems like some tasty games, a Punahou/Waianae and Mililani/Kamehameha opening round games. Although those games might not be too competitive, that’s a lot of star power and tradition right there.

I agree with you Karl. I would rather see playoff games setup by ranking and not slots per conference. Take the top 6 ranking teams and play… If Kamehameha or Punahou happen to be in the top 6, then so be it. As of the current system…. we are definitely NOT seeing the top 6 football teams in the state… now that’s a shame. Sounds more like AYSO rules applied to football… gotta let everyone or team play.

Its a crying shame that Punahou and Kamehameha are not in the State Championship tournament. Kamehameha beat three teams that are in the tournament (Waianae, Baldwin, Hilo) by a combined 127-13. Punahou was ranked at the #1 spot for several weeks and are easily a top three team in the state. A crying shame.

I haven’t seen him play… but as to your question whether he’s fast or others are slow… I’d have to guess that he has speed. I do recall that he is a great track and field athlete. I think he won in states for the long jump… I saw his 110 meter high hurdle trial, and I’d say he has some pretty good speed.
