He was a great head coach at castle in my opinion . Class of 2017!! Taught me discipline and were in perfect condition for the games, felt great . The players made the team look bad, the years after Maeda over there, still terrible. It’s the players. Harry Paaga once said, when a team does good, people on the outside praises the players, when the team doesn’t , the coaches get the beating. Good luck Maeda, wish things were better at the time.

Kalaheo doesn’t back up there football program all they do is spend money on things that they don’t use and The AD IS A FAKE GUY like bruh he always says it’s for the students but it’s really for him

I hope the time off from being a HC will have given him time to reflect and evaluate.
It feels as if hes going from one end of the spectrum with Castle to the other with Kalaheo.

So many different tools out there to get the job done, old school shouldnt be the only tool in the tool box. Just saying.

Good luck Coach. Kalaheo got a good one.

@formercoach I agree, Coach Madea got no support from AD and Principal at Castle. They were afraid of da parents, just like many other schools, like I said, bad parents attack, den make up lies and AD and Principal only cover da okole, but no support to da coach. Same at other places look at Roosevelt girls basketball coach, Moanalua boys b ball coach dis year, Kaiser a few years ago , Dat is the Era we live.

Gotta admit it when coach says he needs administrative support! At Castle, he got no support from the AD and principal! Those 2 are a joke!

Coach Maeda taking Castle to a state final would be like someone taking Hawaii to the college National Title game. Great coach that I agree should be at an ILH program.

I remember Mark Brilhante, the one year starting QB at St Louis in 1979. St Louis had plenty starting Pordagee QB’s back then. Had Darwin Luna in that decade. Vince dos Passos too. Head Coach was another, Ron Marciel. Had Brian Cabral, standout LB’er.
St Louis always put out competitive teams that decade. No need to recruit to the degree they do now, ruining the competitive balance of Hawaii state high school football.

Right guy? Hmmmm. Nelson Mae-da is a fine man. The guy works hard. But is he the right guy at Kalaheo? He would be the PERFECT fit at a school like Iolani, but I don’t think he is an OIA guy. I think he got chased out of Castle, which is just like Kalaheo. You can’t coach OIA players the same way you can coach OIA players.
