Roger… Kalani/Anuenue 60-6, Kalani/ Pearl City 40-8, Radford/ Anuenue 60-0, Radford/Waialua 65-7, Lahainaluna 49-0, 55-6, 48-3, Punahou 63-8, 56-0, 59-7, 48-6, Kamehameha 61-26, 65-0, St. Louis 55-0, 73-6 etc. etc. etc…….

During the Kaiser game – Nanakuli came out firing.. on side kick, pick etc.. it was 21-14 in the first Q, added another 27 in the second, only 16 in the 3rd and 6 in the 4th with Nanakuli scoring 6 in the 4th. Being what happened last year – there wasn’t a concern for mercy especially after they came out firing (good for Nanakuli to have heart!). It is true that replacements were late in that game compared to others later in the season but who’s going to go crying about that??

Kaiser parents were checked and checked again.. nothing illegal. It’s up to the OIA to make the rules – and it’s up to everyone else to act like mature adults.

Nuff with da cheating/recruiting/illegal transfer cries already! If Kaiser was in violation then the OIA & HHSAA would have took action. If the powers that be never punish the Kaiser players then there is NOTHING to hold against these kids. If the other OIA coaches think that Rich Miano is classless…They all need to look in da mirror bcuz they aren’t any better themselves for voting the way they did. Kaiser wasn’t the only D2 team blowing OIA white teams out. Go check out Kalani & Radford scores this season. They got up into the 60’s too. Instead of grumbling about the Kaiser program maybe these coaches need to teach better tackling/blocking techniques, spend more time in the weight room getting stronger, improve your kids cardio by running them more so they don’t bog down in the 2nd half & also make better halftime adjustments so you don’t get mercy ruled every week!. Or….fire everybody! Hire a high profile Coach who knows what he’s doing along with a professional strength & conditioning coach who gets paid to prepare pro prospects for the NFL combine but offers his expertise for FREE to the program & the players in it. Your phone will be blowing up too from parents who insist on the best for their kids!

Rich Miano did run up the scores. Kalaheo and Anuenue, if they wanted could’ve played Kaiser, but then again what for? 100-0 scores? If they can place 70 points on Nanakuli, what makes you think they wouldn’t post 100 points against any of those other two teams. The first team stayed in for the Nanakuli game all the way till late in the fourth quarter, and they were trying to pass with seconds in the first half after a huge lead. Karma sucks, but the OIA knows that with 17 recruits that’s a red flag, unless, the Hawaii Kai area now became affordable housing . . . . yeah right! True, some of the best kids (Kaiser) in the white division got shafted, but then again, didn’t those other kids from different schools got robbed of a chance to play in a championship game because they too got shafted by a school who brought in illegal players?

The scores were no different than many other scores on other teams – go look it up. Second and Third string players were put in. If the other team is that bad.. what are they supposed to do… this isn’t I9 Sports. Get an interception and return the ball back to them? Running up the scores is nonsense. If a team wants to play ball – they’ll play ball. If you’re that thin with players – time to join another school. OIA can limit exemptions is they want, they can look at the private schools as well. Mililani under player restrictions but a private school isn’t? They can factor in exemptions based on school size. In the meantime, sounds like a bunch of soar losers.

Kauai played well. Lahainaluna did as well and had some critical injuries. Kaiser never game up and dominated second half like they have all year.

Rich Miano embarassed and humiliated a lot of teams this year by running up the scores in trying to make a STATEMENT. Of course this was done by recruiting, which everyone knows occurred even the DOE. For those who forfeited the game, because most of their players were on the injured list and they couldn’t safely field a team with the numbers that were healthy. I’m sure the players wanted to go to battle but safety is paramount, my hats off to those coaches. In all of this, unfortunately someone had to pay the price for Miano’s decisions… which were the Kaiser players. If I lived in the Kaiser district and my son couldn’t play because of Miano’s recruiting promises, I would be upset and would be speaking out… The old saying, “What goes around, comes around!” In fact the score against Kauai proved that Miano isn’t all that… Maybe he should try to coach at the next level, if someone would have him… where recruitment is allowed.

I forgot to add.. Kalaheo and Aneunue didn’t even want to play Kaiser and last year Aneunue turned their back during the playing of the NATIONAL ANTHEM and mumbled something the whole time that was loud enough for me to hear across the field in the stands. If I was a parent, coach or OIA Official I wouldn’t even let them play football with that much disrespect. Go roll rocks threw sticks….

The selection is perfect if you don’t factor in the BEST team in the WHITE…..

Kaiser wanted to play RED. The schools they play can pick up players from all over the Island. Look at Punahou. You’d think the school was located in Kahuku. Mililani did a great job and they have a massive base to choose from – just like their baseball. Young community who can afford to life in the area etc.

Congrats to the boys who are the list. It’s not accurate in the least but congrats to those.
