Oh, and all who were at the game saturday night, saw that 1 guy made the difference. Dillon Gabriel. Mills has a great QB, Kamehameha doesn’t. Kamehameha played great defense, those guys fly around, hit hard, was the most impressive unit on the field at most times. But…in the end, if your QB can throw the rock, it only takes 1 pass and TD. Kamehameha relied on trickery for any offense. Mills would get stopped, get stopped, then boom, 45 yard TD. Gabriel is a luxury to have. If Kahuku cannot throw the ball like those 2 teams, I don’t see them coming close to Saints, but maybe being the more physical team vs Mills would give them the upper hand. I anticipate the winner of the Kamehameha/Kahuku game to be the team that fumbles less.

Gotta love all the opinions by some passionate people about their respective schools. All good stuff. But this guy anywaaaays!!, is classic. If you sign your post “RRFL”, then please don’t talk about ANY school recruiting because you guys are the biggest culprit. But it’s all good, do what you gotta do to compete. Kahuku, St.Louis, Puns, Kapolei, Iolani, etc., etc…all do it. Smaller schools like Damien and St.Francis sure. I guess must include Campbell now with their influx of “transfers”. It happens, and like it or not, it is what it is for now. But at least own up to it and stop claiming to be a school of homegrown boys from the north shore and ILH has agenda, blah, blah, blah. Nobody outside of Kahuku feels the same way you do. Recruit a better QB and maybe you get chance against the saints…or at least keep the ones you have instead of letting them “transfer” out to mainland schools. Lol, its so funny cause the transfer rate at Kahuku is so high, teachers actually told me they don’t learn football and basketball players names because they will probably not be at Kahuku the following year. The new definition of 1 and done! RRFL

papa45 –

What did Cal Lee do in the 80’s and 90’s? …a lot of recruiting.
What did Cal Lee do at Kalani (2012-14)? How about UH (02-10′)? …a lot of losing.
What did STL do while Cal was gone? …a lot of losing.
What did Cal do when he returned to STL? …a lot of recruiting.

3 different coaches took Kahuku to the finals because of the TALENT! If you havent figured out the TALENT thing go as Nick Saban or Pete Carroll.

THE FEEDER SYSTEM FOR THE ILH IS THE BEST TALENT FROM THE ENTIRE STATE OF HAWAII!

EASY TO WIN WHEN YOU RECRUIT ALL THE BEST TALENT AND THE BEST TALENT ARRIVE AT YOUR DOORSTEP. IM NOT IMPRESSED WITH ST. LOUIS!!!

papa45 August 20, 2018 6:34 am The biggest difference between ILH and OIA is the coaching staff. You can have your talented teams like Mililani and Kahuku that are capable of beating any ILH team but can’t.

Uh. Is Kam’ School no longer ILH? Take a nap, “papa.” Trojans!!!!!! Blood and Honor.

manti and Strickland played different years. Manti won states with kahuku and Strickland didn’t because we lost the mules.

He never left the community. He born and raised here. As far as going back to Punahou that’s his and his family’s business. Maybe Punahou JV Football is sh!tty I don’t know…

@88. I stand corrected on winning states but “#5” was at Punahou before he was at Kahuku JV. He looked like an absolute beast on their intermediate. Why would he leave the community twice? It seemed like it worked out well for him

Papa45 Kamehameha was garbage. If you couldn’t see that from watching the game you need to get a thicker lense…

#5 was not brought in. #5 is from Kahuku. Played on the Kahuku JV team that lost in the JV championship. Mr. Strickland never made it to the State title game because we lost to Leilehua that year in the playoffs. You have been corrected ma’am.

The biggest difference between ILH and OIA is the coaching staff. You can have your talented teams like Mililani and Kahuku that are capable of beating any ILH team but can’t. Why? Because when it comes to strategy, planning, knowing the limits of each player and putting all this into a game plan, ILH has the advantage. ILH can afford it.
Kamehameha played a brilliant game but just came up short. They under estimated Mililani offense in the first half then adjusted in the second half. Too late.
