Sorry but you guys are acting like this is the first time a rain game had been played at Wong. This has been happening at Hoolulu Complex since 1923, and no one has been significantly injured due to the muddy conditions. Hilo would have played on the muddy side and would still have executed the same way. They took extra preparation for the muddy game if you read more on Coach Drummondo’s interviews.

A common misconception in the 21st century is that a person who can read and write is therefore not illiterate; when in fact, literacy also includes a component of comprehension which is what distinguishes the former from the later. Now if the shoe fits ….

Like I mentioned earlier in the season
Jealousy and Ignorance will always be
Hilo Vikings Play Like Champions and act like fine young men
Hilo Vikings deserve all the praise and glory for an unbeaten season
If by chance you would like to comment on all their games they played in all conditions on every field they went to and have won every game with most games being shut outs!!!!!
So if Leilehua won it would of been OK
Oh and one more thing that game was planned weeks in advance so are you saying Hilo knew it would rain and they wanted those conditions
What a joke
I invite every one of you to Hilo High and look at the condition these Champions play in
They have no proper football field no proper facilities but yet They are always Champions
if you can’t figure that out
You know absolutely nothing about Sports!!

Unfair to who? Do you see how dumb that sounds? Two teams are playing in the same conditions! Get over it, the game was played and one team won. Next time tell your kids to spray WD40 on the bottom of their shoes.

The two points are mutually exclusive: 1) the weather/field conditions did NOT benefit either team; and 2) HHSAA should utilize the best available field to promote the best possible contest and avoid the appearance of impropriety; although I really liked Rim’s dome suggestion even though it was mean-sprited. BTW Rim, impropriety means unfairness or inequity since you used the ? to signify your lack of comprehension in this regard. The phrase “avoid the appearance of impropriety” means to NOT take actions that might be reasonably construed as unfair.

@ Rain check – I believe what @therim was saying was that you make it seem like it only rained on Leilehua and Hilo didn’t have to deal with the same conditions. If they traveled to Leilehua on a wet night and won. Would they still have had the advantage because they come from a town that has more precipitation? Lol

More like CHECK DA RAIN haha

Why don’t we just wait for the most perfect conditions to play the game, better yet play in a dome? Impropriety? How do you control weather? Now you just sound like a sore loser.

Not sure how The Rim misconstrues the phrase “playing in the rain is not a legitimate excuse” that is verbatim. Anyway the majority of these post seem to question the wisdom of holding the game at Wong Stadium in contravention of Rim’s spurious weather report. HHSAA should try to eliminate the appearance of impropriety while improving the level of play and protecting the safety of the players.

Football is football! Hilo would love to play on a turf field and no rain. Don’t take away the fact that they were prepared and executed what they needed too. They if not had more turnovers and penalties. A champion must find a way to win.

Rain Check- The Keaau field would be worse than Wong, it’s not turf and the mud is ankle deep. Stop with all the excuses, you want to be a champion you play whatever the conditions are. I’m glad the Leilehua coach was a professional and didn’t make any excuses about the weather.
