Hilo didn’t dominate and the game could’ve gone the other way in overtime. It was a good, evenly matched game which was won by a lucky field goal. Congrats on the win, but geez do you guys know how to be humble? Your crowd booed when your player got a penalty for doing “throat slash.” You guys do that on the Big Island and get away with it? Cheering when the Iolani player got hurt, r u serious? Disrespectful and unsportsmanlike behavior from the Hilo team, and no class fans. Enjoy your win.

I agree with one tram. Hilo should never got da ball back. Like talk about risky, trowing da ball from in da endzone 3 plays, what if one holding gets called, bang, game ova, safety, what if get one sack, bang game ova safety and gotta kick off da ball to Hilo, come on. Den afta tree plays, Iolani punt and give dem da ball on one short field. Dumb plays in da end. Should Play for ovatime. And The Rim, bradda, this kicker so good and can’t be iced, bruh he barely make em, he hit da D–MB bar wid a lucky bounce, Dat is one miricle. You talk like he wen clear em with 10 yads to spare, No ack, you sound like his agent? Lol, like you know his psychology, lol

ONE TRAM- if you watched this kicker all year long, you would have known he could make it. Miracle is a put down on the kid, he can kick and he’s accurate I say he makes 3of5 tries from the same distance. I don’t think this kid can be iced, he seems to have ice water in his veins.

>>ONE TRAM

And then I forgot that they actually did complete a pass. I agree they should have took a knee then.

I didn’t understand why Look didn’t ice the kicker with timeouts left (I’ve seen college coaches not ice kickers either, which I don’t understand either), but what I’m saying is that Iolani couldn’t get the run going whatsoever. They had a total of whopping 35 yards rushing for the entire game compared to 118 by air. Hilo still had a timeout left. If you had to take a knee or try your luck with your non-existent run game twice in your own 10, you risk a safety or even a turnover. While Iolani kids are well disciplined and coached, they still are high school players. While getting the ball down the field with 40 seconds to go did seem unfeasible, I don’t think it was such a bad call either. Had one of the passes completed, they could have hail-mary’d or take a knee then.

Total agreement with #12, why 3 passes, stop the clock, give Hilo the ball back in good field position, one play by Hilo and they are in Field Goal range. (kick was a miricle) Why not ice the kicker, no way he makes two miracle kicks in a row. Bad time management and playcalling . #13, if your thinking is good and Iolani had no chance in overtime from 25 yards, what makes you think they had a chance from 95 yards away with less than a minute to play, what’s harder? That or Overtime?

Eh it could have been the same situation for ‘Iolani. One big play and they could have been the ones kicking the FG. I think it was a matter of execution rather than the play call itself. ‘Iolani couldn’t do anything against Hilo defense in the second half and if it went to OT, there’s a good chance they would have lost it in the first OT.

Good luck to the Waveriders. Elijah’s senior year, and Sheynen having 2 years under his belt really gives that offense a good shot imo.

Game was evenly matched but Iolani’s horrendous decision to pass 3 times from their own 7 yard line with 37secs instead of taking 2 knees to end regulation gave rise to the epic 55 yard game winning field goal. Funny that Iolani recognized as one of the top academic institutions in the country yet the Head Coach seemed to have misplaced his thinking cap when the team needed it the most.

@Rim… not poor loser. Gave props to Hilo. Good defense. Your comment to @justsaying didn’t relate.

@Truth Yes Iolani never wins the stat line. Big heart and discipline keeps them in games. Hilo hit the passes they needed and iolani didn’t. Hilo made their field goal and Iolani didn’t.

Hilo will enter rebuilding next year. Kaimi Tiogangco will more likely than not get the call as the starting QB as a junior, and I’m guessing will have a run-heavy scheme like 2017 with most of the starting O-line coming back. Konawaena will be better next year as they were really young in every facet of their team, and could pose a lethal threat despite losing Alex Muti to graduation. Hilo loses almost all starters in skill positions to graduation. Last time Hilo was this vulnerable was probably 2015.
