Interesting to not that Harry Mitsui of Waianae coached only 9 years and compiled 101 wins, Siuaki Livai coached about 10 years won 102 times…the you have Hernandez and Say who coached 20+ years and got just over a 100. Haha.

Iolani is down against St. Louis 0-33, but they’ll still qualify for states. 0-6 verses the top 3 teams, and they’ll still get in the D1 tourney over Kamehameha. Unreal…and I agree with someone below, have of Looks wins are against D2 caliber opponents, which should have an asterisk and D2 record).

Very interesting list. Can you also put up the top current coaches or the top 20? It’s great to remember these past and current coaches. I remember Cal Chai at Kamehameha. How many years did he coach there?

????- exactly. Looking forward for OIA5 to meat ILH4. 0-6 and they get a playoff spot. This who third division is an after thought. Poorly thought through.

Make it make sense. One champion per division playoff. As lopsided as some games are, I do not believe there is enough teams to have 3 divisions. If the top 6 OIA become the “open division” they will end up only playing each other.

Poorly thought through. Watch if they create a new “league” combined with ILH and OIA one of the clauses will by dropping transfer rule from OIA to ILH.

I like the game, top OIA vs. the Top ILH, yet include the outer islands to be a true state champion. This one year open division is getting dumber as it pans out. look at the teams that will populate the “d1” brackets. 0-6 Iolani? 5-5 Leleihua?

I agree. Look shouldn’t be in the same class as Hamada as well. Its embarrassing what the Look Era has transitioned a once proud and prestigious football program into.

Div 1 Titles
Father Kenneth Bray (3)
Ed Hamada (3)
Wendell Look (0)

How can you put Iolani’s coach Look on Hawaii’s Mount Rushmore with Cal Lee?
Half his career has been in DII, you gotta be kidding!! He is the king of DII i’ll give him that.
If coach Ginoza (Waianae) was in DII he would have been 237-0…Hell, I give Aiea’s coach more props cause even when they go 1-5 year after year he chooses to stay in DI..
Iolani is going 0-6 in DI & still going states. SMH?????
