There is no debate about the open division. OIA coaches like it. ILH coaches like it. Players like it. The only people who have a problem with it apparently are the kahuku uncles that post on this website.

Actually pulling for Kam to finish top 6 in the state along with stl and pun. It’ll throw a wrench in this stupid debate about the Open Div.

What to expect at the game?

Punahou by 2 touchdowns (at the least)

Kam plays competitive in the first half as expected. Than the wheels start falling off in the second half.

This is an exceptionally lazy article that just rehashes some previous history between the two schools. It apparently does not mention the name of a single player on the current teams. As a professional sportswriter the author should be able to do better than this. If he is getting paid to cover high school football then why can’t he offer some timely analysis and useful information about what to expect with this game?

@Chloropicrin

They are one of the richest schools in the nation & can’t seem to figure out how to capitalize on their athletics programs. A lot of resources is spot on. A lot of kids at other private schools excelling that got denied to attend Kam School. They should be killing it in everything. Smh

@RuggedSlopes- Kamehameha the “Farrington” of the ILH…haha. so true. Me and my coworker was just talking about how under achieving they are, could be a lot better with all the resources and talent choices.

Dear Mr Gandhi:
So… what you’re saying is that the only reason Punahou wins is because they recruit and can’t win without recruiting, correct? I’m going to assume you’re one of those OIA “activists”. You and your kind should really look into the mirror because recruiting happens in the OIA as well.  Either you’re totally oblivious or in total denial, but it exists in the OIA. The only difference is that the OIA calls it “transferring in” (or in some cases it’s called “returning to his roots” I guess, since the student athlete lives in that school’s district).
      Now this is just a thought, but can’t you give Punahou at least some credit for producing star athletes on their own? Let’s take Jet Toner for example. All-state kicker, you know his accolades. Why didn’t anyone come out and say that Punahou recruited him?
    Also, why doesn’t anyone complain about recruiting when it comes to other sports, like volleyball at Punahou? I would think, with all the success Punahou has with volleyball, that someone would play the “they can’t win without recruiting” card. Is it possible that the volleyball team is just extremely talented? But no, only in football does Punahou get heat when it’s successful.

Kamehameha struggles because their just “Kamehameha”. They are the “Farrington” of the ILH, talented every year but can’t win. They are big & soft in every area on the field. Sad thing is they have the luxury of hand picking every kid on this island with the financial backing & choose to live by being 3rd best every season.

Mahatma- Sounds like you were one of many others on here that got slapped around on the field by the CRUSADERS! Kamehameha struggles because of their coaches. Kamehameha have tons of talent But the coaches can’t put it together. Hopefully Abu can turn the program around. Good luck to everybody.
