OK, get your calendars out and start making your marks.
The 2016 Oahu Interscholastic Association regular-season football schedule listed below shows the Division I Blue/Red crossover games starting the weekend of Aug. 12-13. After that, each D-I team plays within its conference (Blue or Red) for six more games over the next seven weeks to complete a seven-game regular season.
All of the games listed below are subject to change. Harold Tanaka, the OIA football coordinator, said some changes will definitely be made and this schedule is not final.
The schedule listed here also doesn’t show preseason games to be played one week earlier (the weekend of Aug. 5-6). Hawaii Prep World is in the process of compiling those preseason games.
Among the intriguing crossover games on Aug 12-13 are: Kaiser at Mililani, Farrington vs. Campbell at Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium, Kahuku at Leilehua, and Waianae at Kapolei.
In the nine-team Division II, teams will play eight games in nine weeks starting Aug. 12-13.

One question: WHY is the season starting so early? And why can’t only 8 teams qualify for the OIA Tournament? Don’t give me this crap about school starting early for public school. You can STILL schedule practices when school starts. Why not start the season a week later? To put it on perspective: some OIA teams won’t play a GAME in October. Think about that.
They got McKinley out of Div 1.
Waipahu used to be a perennial OIA power.
Moanalua must be super good to play in both the OIA DIV I Blue and Red Division?
It’s about time they got Waipahu and Mckinley out of D1. They should have added Castle to that list. Eventhough, Coach Maeda does a great job and the kids play their hearts out. They just don’t have the numbers to compete with the bigger schools.
