Dear Mr. “xaq”,
In your above post, you mentioned something about Punahou’s “policy” – the one in which the new transfers would be “held back” a year, seemingly making them older than the other students. What really happens is that the player would NOT repeat a grade, but rather sit out the entire season, making them ineligible to participate in all the games. Now this my friend is a rule for ALL ILH schools, not just for Punahou. In fact, there was a recent article about St. Louis losing a key player for the 2014 season due to this “policy”. I would appreciate it if you reviewed your facts and do your research before making comments like your earlier post.

Ok back in the day ILH was separate and we didn’t play for a State title. That being said, any list of great Punahou players that doesn’t include Charlie Wedemeyer is suspect.

My friend, played for Pac 5. As he looked up after trying to tackle Mosi, he saw several of his teammates on the ground shaking their heads while Mosi strolled into the end zone. He said it was like boys playing against a grown man. Punahou’s policy of holding boys back a year gives their football team an advantage that can be dangerous for opposing teams. As a senior in 1974, Mosi (born 4/25/55) was 19.

I got to block for some pretty great running backs but would have loved to block for Mosi Tatupu!
