grabum- It will probably say D1 state champions. Which is irritating. It makes it so Kahuku will not repeat as D1 state champions, back to back……again….for a fourth time.

I am waiting for the real D1 bracket schedule, and the public explanation on how it was achieved.

Ceny, I completely disagree with you. Whoever gave you that information is absolutely wrong. If you go on sportshigh.com they actually tell you exactly how they create the brackets. They seed the four league champions then after that there is a formula that fills in the rest of the bracket. To say that the baseball state tournament was rigged is complete trash. It’s not Baldwin’s fault that Waipahu upset some teams in the OIA tournament. It’s not Baldwin’s fault that Mililani upset MPI or Campbell upset Kailua. Again, there was no rigging going on. Go on sports high and look for yourself. Aloha

Mililani should be heavily favored to win. The are the first looser of the Open Division so they should have no problem destroying everybody in that division. So please don’t try to make it sounds like that Mililani will have competition because they won’t. Plus Mililani finally realized that they’re situation isn’t that bad. At least they going to win out the rest of the season.

My money’s on Trojans.

I don’t see anyone in the new D1 beating them.

Not even Crapiolani.

OIA sweeps all 3 divisions this year.

So much for ILH’s attempts to get a champion…maybe next year.

HA!

RRFL.

I find it ironic that Baldwin is complaining. In last years State Baseball seedings they were given the easiest path to the finals. I was told it was because the State tournament was on Maui and the promoters wanted to make sure that Baldwin was in the finals so they could get good attendance at the games, especially the Championship game. If Baldwin was knocked out early then the only people attending would be the families of the other teams.

Don’t complain and just win to show who you really are. Watch Mililani, who was one interception from making the open division, show everyone what a young unseeded team can do . . . go Trojans!

When the outer islands deferred from the “Open”, this what happens. It gave the ILH2 the opening. Lol. Just man up and play the Open next year.

Still believe that Baldwin should have been seeded #2. Why? Obviously MIL champion and undefeated. Should have been a no brainer. Campbell #3 and Iolani #4. Baldwin would have drawn Moanalua and Iolani would have drawn Mililani. Somehow the ILH, who really lobbied for more representation in the Open and D1, got a favorable draw. Moanalua, which had to forfeit last week, could match up with Iolani. However, they don’t have the depth, injuries, and had some that had the flu. If I was from Maui I would be upset as well. It’s just more motivation for them to prove the seeding committee wrong and go all out against Mililani. Traditionally, Oahu teams have had difficulty in first round games played on Maui. It’ll be interesting.
