The biggest mistake the Lee politicians made was to cry when they lost to Kahuku in 2015, instead of owning up to the loss Cal went on camera and made the excuse…”it would be nice to play Kahuku in the regular season so we can get used to their smash mouth style”. Sure enough a few months later the ILH proposes to the OIA to combine leagues and offers the OIA 3 Million$$$, OIA says no! so they secretly create the Open division format and insert their 2nd ILH team.

In 2016 after they beat Kahuku Ron Lee is saying “the competition in the OIA is weaker and we knew it would come back to bite them…we dont have a soft schedule we play Punahou and Kam so we were prepared for them”.

So when Kahuku wins things need to change? But when an ILH team wins everything in the universe is fine? Where money and peoples jobs are involved in the private school sector, politics and unethical behaviour is sure to follow, as long as its the public schools that are suffering its ok.

You guys talking about recruiting. No one on that starting offense was recruited. That’s a bunch of kids who went there since intermediate and worked there butts of to get where they are at. There’s only one returnee in the skilled position and the rest were 2nd and 3rd stiringers. Like I said it’s not recruiting it’s called HARD WORK!

Giving scholarships to “mercenary Polynesians” how does this not benefit those kids? Similar to college, your athletic ability can get you better opportunities. Good for them! Some may come from areas or families that present high risks of introducing those kids to drugs and gang violence. But instead they focus on sports and go to a school that will Prep you for college. Also a school that is probably away from the neighborhood gangsters.

Your comment about “you guys desperate to win” if you were to hire someone for a job, wouldn’t you want someone that is driven to succeed at all costs? That’s who I would hire to coach my football team. Don’t make like winning isn’t huge for Every other school also. If Kahuku turned into a bottom level football school, how many Utah, Samoa, Tonga, etc kids would be transferring to Kahuku? They go because it’s a power program that’s nationally recognized. Don’t act like you guys don’t want to win just as bad. You just don’t scholarships to give out. If you did you would.

STL is a win at all cost program, they cannot stand the fact of a lowly Kahuku public school beating them, thats why they will recruit the outer islands, change state tourney classifications, bring Cal lee and June jones on campus etc….Looks like you guys the ones more desperate about winning.

BTW….I know one family in Mililani whose kids started at STL. I asked why they chose to go to STL when Mililani has a power house team. They said the chances of winning a state title is better at STL with other talented kids, The chances of Millilani getting past Kahuku is slim.

Besides. St Louis is a private school, maybe you don’t know how it works. They don’t have a district. The school sits in Kaimuki’s district. So you see, it’s impossible for St Louis to have any “homegrown” players.

Plus all you guys crying about recruiting obviously don’t give a damn about the kids. They get to play for a team that gets them lots of media and college attention and get a private school, college prep education. I’m happy for them. I HOPE they get recruited and free scholarship. If that’s true then they get opportunities they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.
