If they do make this happen and the teams will be split to 3 tiers they should make it promotion/relegation style to keep it fresh. For example, if Mililani and Kapolei places in the bottom two during their season, they’ll drop to the tier 2 teams while the top two tier 2 are promoted.

Prior to the 1970s, the ILH was a rugged 10 team league w/ sold out crowds @ Honolulu Stadium. Punahou wants to play Roosevelt… Iolani wants to play Kaimuki… Kamehameha wants to play Farrington…. etc. Those are the classic rivaries man! Bring some excitement and tradition back to Oahu.

Yes Kahuku is “Da bomb”….. ILH football is so boring nowadays.

The Superferry is history man, the outer islands wanna keep da country country.

To be the BEST you need to play the BEST! A division where all the top schools play each other is not only good for the State of Hawaii its good for the kids who play in the games. The kids get better when they play against the top teams in the State every week. The quality of football and football athletes would only get better.

All the townies are jealous that Kahuku keeps winning, Kahuku is the reason the OIA keeps reclassifying the red n blue conferences because the townies complain that “Kahuku has an easy road to the playoffs, lets re-schuffle their schedule and make them play harder teams.”

Now the ILH is crying the same song! “Kahuku didnt play anyone hard to make it to the title game but St.Louis had to play punahou and Kam twice”.

Na,na,na,na stop whinning you townies and take your butt whoopings like a man, Kahuku is so sorry that your golden boy town athletes arent the best in the state.

Who wants to play the same team over and over during a football season? Make it interesting… Go back to the old ILH, I’m sure the Kalani’s and Roosevelts will find ways to stack their rosters.

OIA athletic directors meeting earlier this month? Yah right… Trying to bring up new ideas at one of those meetings would be like trying to bring back the superferry.

I would encourage all athletes that have the opportunity to go to a private school to go. But to consider the private schools equal to the public schools and have them compete in the same conference is wrong. Why cant we just be happy with the current state tournament? we all got what we wanted right? The top ILH school played the top 2 OIA schools. End of story, look forward to next season. We can all blame Kahuku for doing so well and beating the ILH which opens up this disscussiion. Truth is the ILH big 3 would smash all the OIA teams except Kahuku, so no the OIA is not on par with the ILH. Making a superconference for the sole purpose of generating ticket sales is greed by our leaders at the expense of our kids physucal health and well being.

@Hauula I disagree. IMO 1 OIA school is ready. And that is the team that kicked the Crusaders trash. Any of the other ILH Big 3 would run roughshod over all other OIA teams.
