Again I’ll say, just because a player is from kahuku and goes to a private school, that does not mean if they didn’t go to a private school they would end up at kahuku. They could transfer to any OIA school on the island.

You are not arguing in the favor of the players themselves. If you were, you wouldn’t put the players down just because they attend a private school. You are salty because your team is losing and
You are looking at this in the most selfish way possible. You want to win but your team is having a down season, which is still a good season by most standards. But instead you come on here every single day and cry and complain about recruiting and the ILH and everything in between.

You crying about making it to a title game buy this is the first year in like 3 or 4 years that your team may not make it. So you cry and complain every day on very article. You talk about standing up for OIA athletes but I bet you had no problem when kahuku was smashing teams like Farrington and Kapolei by 40 points and injuring their players.

People like you try and look like you are looking out for the kids when it’s very obvious you just miss being able to talk trash and say things like “ILH is weak” or “ILH teams are soft” Your team is losing and you are grasping at every excuse you can find

An average Linebacker can play at Nanakuli and not be offered because he is on a bad team, that same LB can transfer to STL to play behind Tuitele and other stud Dlinemen and all of a sudden his job becomes easier, his stats increase and now he is an allstar. That is why parents are willing to pay tuition to play with 5 star players like Tuitele in the ILH, and Cal lee is willing to recruit/sponsor a few 5 star athletes like Tuitele into their school.

STL and PUN have the same agenda and that is to attract paying families, cant do that if you are not winning and if you dont have 1, 2 or more highly rated studs. Build it and they will come.

Notice that for the past 30 years, the last two teams playing for the title are the ones with the most college offered players. Some players dont get offered till the semifinals and finals. That is why the ILH want their 2 teams in the Open tourney. They want all the food on the table.

The OIA athletes get screwed in every way and from every angle, im being vocal to protect my alma mater Kahuku. The Kahuku kids that play in the ILH are usually those 3-4 star studs and they usually get those financial packages. They are the ones used as a crutch to boost up their PUN/STL teammates. Thats great and all id much rather see them stay at Kahuku and be a crutch to their childhood friends and family and helping the average Kahuku player get a scholarship.

Watch, if Mililani make it to the finals which they should, atleast 1 or 2 kids that were under the radar will get an offer and I bet Gabriel will get an offer from a power conference. Making it to the title game is everything and that is all that matters.

If the Bosco game was good for Mililani to learn and compete with a team at that level, then how is it bad for OIA teams to play against ILH teams? Everyone gets more experience, everyone plays against teams at different levels. It’s ok for Kahuku to steamroll Waianae but when St Louis does it then the inter league games were a bad idea?

Again, inter league games did not count towards OIA standings. Only OIA teams can knock each other out of play off contention. So why is this such a big deal. It’s such a big deal that a few people come here and make multiple names to complain and agree with themselves.

I never seen anything so sad. Instead of being happy that their kids and other kids are being active, staying out of trouble, being a part of a team, some people have to insult and try to take away the great things many kids accomplish.

You must have a sad life to insult kids and what they are doing.

Just bcuz a hard working local family make sacrifices to jump on the bandwagon of power schools with other elite kids (stl, pun, mills) in hopes of exposure getting a college scholarship, does not mean it has to come at the expense of beating up on disadvantaged OIA schools. Damien, iolani and pac 5 left the ILhbig3 in the dust because of inequality. Now the big3 trying to strong arm the OIA to play with them. You can Pay all that tuiton for private school also means you can pay a little more to send your teams to the mainland to play against other recruiting catholic schools.

Two seperate leagues, keep them seperated. Prep bowl OIA1 vs. ILH1 is all we need.
