Football Fan:
I’m glad we see eye-to-eye. We agree that Skylar is eligible to play in the ILH and that the HHSAA is in control of interleague play. What I’m pointing out is that the state football tournament is not controlled by the ILH but is controlled by the HHSAA. If the lawsuit isn’t resolved before the postseason, does the HHSAA have authority to deem the St. Francis versus Pac 5 game a forfeiture due to play by an ineligible player. Kahuku. Look what happened in 2010 to Kahuku. Different circumstances but the everything boils down to the HHSAA having the final say.
Here’s a link to what happened to Kahuku in 2010:

Let me get this straight…..his parents are finally able to afford to send him St Francis to better his education and possible exposure to college scholarships. And …..he is being denied because of…..?? A completely ridiculous rule dictated by idiotic Hawaii politics. Transfer rules are for what purpose ? Public school players move all the time, live with relatives to play for another team. Maybe more playing time, a system more suited to their skills, better coaching, better academics, or a number of other reasons….as long as they are academically and age eligible. Why should any transfers be reason for ineligibility ?

Do what is right HHSAA and LET HIM PLAY! You all know he sat out 1 season already. Never played 1 game last year because in he and his families mind, they were doing the right thing to meet the transfer rules. So how about you all consider that, and the impact of potential scholarships that he could possibly miss out on because of this….please think long, hard and careful about this young man’s future before making him suffer ANOTHER year by sitting out ANOTHER season…

The goal of high school athletics is to get the student athletes to the collegiate level. Denying him eligibility because of these technicality issues could cost him the opportunity of a scholarship. I hope the HHSAA will revise the rule for all student athletes.

Athletic Director:
He’s eligible to play in the ILH. He’s just not eligible to play in the new inter-league system (ILH vs OIA) So no they will not have to forfeit their win against Pac5 (ILH vs ILH) .
This is the whole reason why they are going to court. He is eligible in the ILH but HHSAA is saying he is not eligible to participate in inter-league play which they control.

High schools need to stop being like colleges. They don’t have the kind of money being exchanged like the colleges. They should let the kids play especially if they paid the money and their physical dues to do so.

If the case isn’t resolved before the post season, will St. Francis have to forfeit ther win versus PAC 5? Does the win-loss record reflecting the forfeiture determine who represents the ILH in division 2?

These transfer rules need to go out the window, Just-let the kids play. Emotionally & Physically making a kid sit out a year is a life changing experience in a Negative way.
