What you are saying absolutely true about Punahou playing an overall weaker schedule than Mililani, however, Punahou played a similar schedule last year and Mililani played almost the same teams last year and Punahou still won. All the more reason for and ILH/OIA merger into basic Div. I, DIv. II and Div. III designations, talk about unreal regular season games with the inclusion of Punahou, St. Louis and Kamehameha into the fold of the Mililani’s, Kahuku’s, Campbell’s, Leilehua’s and other Div. I powers of Oahu. it would be like when my father was in school playing in the old ILH with private and public schools playing against each other. Except in those days it was only the town public schools, this time around it would be overall Div. I public schools with private schools. How about that?

Should Punahou meet Mililani in the State Championship game, Mililani will win as they have played tougher opponents on a consistent basis whereas Punahou has played against cupcakes Div. 11 opponents e.g. Damian, Pac-5, Iolani, and was it St. Francis or something..not very challenging whereas Mililani will have played against Campbell, Farrington, Waianae, Kahuku, Kapolei….based on opponents played, Mililani had the tougher schedule and has proven itself so my pick will be Mililani over Punahou if both make it to the State Championship game.

This is a game that Punahou needed, it was about time that somebody push back hard enough to legitimately beat them, but then again this same thing happened last year, beating all these other teams with ease and then run into the Saints on the second game and win only by a touchdown. They took that game into the State tournament and won their second state championship. However, this time around I don’t think it will be as easy, not to wax poetic, but there’s a storm brewing out in Mililani right now and if anybody saw the past three games they’ve played they are building in strength and offensive/defensive power. If Punahou couldn’t even put pressure on Tagovailoa regularly, what makes you think they’re going to be able to slow the offensive prowess of Mililani, whose offense is more varied and dangerous with Milton at the controls, Malepeai running, Timoteo stretching the field and an offensive line that in my opinion is greater than St. Louis’s which gave so much time for its QB to pick and choose. Even Mililani’s defense is starting to swarm. I see a collision course with a very real possibility of a new king being crowned if the incumbent doesn’t make some serious adjustments on the defensive side.
