St.louis cannot maintain a top notch team because a roster of 100 plus players and coaching staff and support service would equal 130 people. Try flying to California, air,transfer,hotel,food logistics…
..100k. California, you say? Yes, where St.John Bosco, Mater Dei, DeLasalle, Servite all top 20 teams. So, go on. Play Kamehameha 4 times, Punahou 3 times. Nick Saban secret. If I get the top 5 QBs in the country I dont worry about them because they can’t beat me if they sitting on my bench.

Just wondering why Coach Ron Lee was sitting in the stands and not on the field with the team?

Kahuku should always try to schedule games between the top mainland schools. Playing down does nothing for the team. Might as well go play in the same Division with Iolani if all you going do is play easy teams and not challenge yourself.

@ Recruited not Rooted
Unlike Mililani and STL (and Leilehua of years past) Kahuku does not need the QB to carry the load, they just need a average QB that can keep the defense honest, Kahukus run game and defense is what wins them championships. Meriteragi and Crawford may not be D1 talent but they are well-above average QBs so its already a treat for Kahuku. Mililani could use JKS and give Kahuku a hard rub next year.

Kahuku is a public school and cant recruit like the big private schools (BG/IMG/MaterDei etc..) I would never suggest Kahuku play those big schools again, stick to Utah public schools. STL is more equipped to build a stacked team to take to the mainland against the private catholic schools.

With regards to 2010. That was a failure of the HC and the administration.
Btw, is there really an asterisk for that year?

I was wondering because the season – for both OIA and ILH – was not NORMAL.
Just curious. It doesnt take away the SASA that Lulu got handed to them, for sure.

Be careful, you talk about grades, academics and flunking and Professor Fun gonna make an appearance and talk about your guys miserable performance in the classroom.

If you want to put an asterisk this year do it because all the other teams were eating donuts during covid while Kahuku was working hard.

In 2010 Kahuku beat STL 49-27 in the preseason, rolled through everyone and finished the regular season #1 in the state. They were then DQ’d in the post season because a Leilehua players mom who is the aunty of one of the Kahuku players brought to light the fact that the Kahuku player was a fifth yr senior, meaning the kid started 9th grade for a couple months and then academically flunked back to 8th grade.

So technically his athletic clock started that “flunked” year when he started 9th grade but returned to the 8th grade, which means his clock for 4yr eligibility was going to end his Junior year.

This kid never played sports and finally decided to try out for football his senior year, he was in violation. No one knew this except the auntie and when Kahuku smashed Leilehua 46-16 in the playoffs I guess the auntie was jealous and snitched.

STL won the state title with out having to play the best team that year, thats why there is an asterisk. This year 2021 Kahuku played everyone so there is no asterisk.

@ Recruited not Rooted
I’m pretty sure Coach won’t be calling JKS cause
Waika Crawford is more than capable of leading Kahuku to Back to Back titles.
People like you said the same thing about Mariteragi & Kahuku passing the ball but they proved everybody WRONG.
I really hope AKANA comes back because this defense is loaded & if teams can’t score they can’t win; simple as that.
BTW, the Red Raiders are State Champs!
