@oia#1 I was being sacastic. Homegrown pride all the way.

If you watched the other games all year, they were pretty much practice, as they ultimately prepared for Kahuku. But if the OLine cannot block, offense is going nowhere. However that’s also a credit to how good the big red machine is.

Yeah @lohui, we play great football out here but the kids keep leaving. @chloro no way we opening up pipelines, we win with our boys, we lose with our boys! I know we can! These are the some boys who beat them kahukus jv 20-0 at kahukus house. We just need better discipline and some new coaches. Young and the defensive staff can stay but offense went 16 quarters without a td and barely any first downs. Just by watching the way they play other teams i knew when we went up against kahuku it was gonna be the same result. Hopefully we meet again in the states but i think the results will be the same.

No need to panic. Waianae has a good team. Coach Young and staff in year 2. They in the State Open and yes they did play the #1 team twice this year. These discipline problems will happen. They will beat Kapolei AGAIN. In fact they the best OIA team behind Kahuku. That break down game against Campbell threw the bracket off. They best start practicing a Double TE Jumbo set for the ILH team.

because all the town people kiss the behinds of these private school institutions and want your kids to go there. Kahuku fans are not afraid to call these people out on their shinanigans.

whine whine whine. It’s super funny how every blog post about Kahuku somehow turns into a whine and blame session about ILH even though the post has nothing to do with private school. Leilehua ’98 grad. Do I want to see Leilehua do good? Sure. Do I know some good football players during my years who went to private school and play football? Yep. Do I try to turn every Leilehua loss or win about how evil Cal Lee is and how he and Kale Ane ruined the state of Hawaii? Nope.

Message to OIA teams reading this blog: If your team won, good for those kids! If they lost, always get next year. Just play hard. Like that one person in the other blog post said in the comments, leave the whining about ILH this and that to the wahines on this blog.

LohuiLani, it was Cal Lee and St Louis who started the excessive all-out recruiting in the early 1980s, destroying the competitive balance of Hawaii state high school football. Punahou had to eventually recruit if it wanted to keep pace with St Louis. . I remember how much balance there was in the state in the 1970s. Every game was competitive. St Louis ruined everything. That’s why I disregard all these Kahuku blowouts nowadays. Because the OIA rosters are so depleted by ILH recruiting. Waipahu once was a OIA power. McKinley too. Kalaheo too.

The cheap shots and the personal fouls from Waianae all year could have been dealt with early on by the coaches. But this year’s team is undisciplined, they follow their undisciplined coaches. Walter shows his frustration, which in turn his players feed off of that. That’s why I admire how Tata coaches, he has a poker face pretty much the entire game. Someone mentioned the mental edge that the Red Raiders have, I totally agree with that statement. Besides the physical attributes, they have the mental edge which is huge. That’s what seperated Ginoza, Mitsui and Taaca from the rest during their times because they had their teams physically and mentally prepared. Matsumoto had that, but lost it when his staff turned on him in the mid 2000’s and Walter done at have it. Sorry to say. He’s a pretty emotional person on the sidelines, which feeds off to his players.

@99bois same can be said for the Red Raider fans, people were calling for Torres and Leslie’s head when things weren’t going right. As an outsider looking in, Kahuku was still winning and on top, but others don’t really know what was going on.

As for Waianae, there’s a lot of discipline issues which starts from home then translate to the field. The coaches enable the negative kinds of attitudes and behaviors, which ultimately bites them in the butt. #44 for example..he’s been a problem all year, but the coaches don’t show’em the gate. Old school Waianae coaches would have escorted bad apples to the gate. That’s why I think people are calling for change; well at least the OC and a few wannabe coaches who’s there for personal reasons i.e. Kids or families playing.

Why do things need a drastic change when you lose a game? No, Waianae does not need a new staff they are going in the right direction, just a few discipline issues and get rid of the cheap shots like how 26 blasted Kahukus QB from the back after he pitched it (7:12 mark) https://youtu.be/XhlCiZIyI-0?t=7m4s

Waianae players do that a lot (cheap shots), it happened last year too in the jv title game a player clothes-lined a defensless Kahuku reciever.
