The local reps for that area should use all monies an allocate it towards academics. The athletics is not the issue there. It’s lack of academic support. Why else is the scores so bad out there? If you spend more money in an area that is thriving and doing well, it will only skew people’s views and slide more bias towards sports. They need to change focus to support education.

Maybe start with some picture books and math books featuring arithmetic and work their way up?

Kahuku will never get a new astro turf field because it’s located in a flood zone, unless they spend $20 million (like Farrington) and build it on the upper campus. The least they (State Senator and Representative) of the district could do….lobby for more bleachers especially on the visitor’s side. Where are they when the school and community need them….nothing…not pushing hard enough like other district politicians are doing.

This happens, Waianae played all road games, had a homecoming at someone’s field a few years ago because of work on the bleachers.

Kahuku and Waianae is in need of new fields, the conditions of both is horrible.

Practice on baseball field? Are you serious, even the baseball team rarely practices on it, after the NFL guy said it was the best field in USA.

I remember back in the day, 1970s, when track surfaces was cinder cones. I think Kaiser in 1980 got the first modern rubber track. It was blue color. They got the modern track before the iLH.

Why can’t they practice on their baseball field, why local parks?

Moanalua doesn’t need football field, because the band gets equal time! Haha
