Due to the crossover in league play the competitiveness increased. The challenge often comes down to the debate of ranking who the better overall team is versus who would win in a head to head match-up. Some teams’ styles of play will help them beat an overall better team on a given night. I.e. Castle sneaking that win against Moanalua.

The views of SA’s bloggers are incredibly interesting. Don’t agree with some but its still fascinating to read the views of so many HS sports fans that care. Bravo gang keep it coming.

I don’t see it. There’s one yokozuna and St. Louis has proven that the past few years. Punahou can’t be a yokozuna because they haven’t won a league or state title in quite a few years. Same for Mililani, no titles for awhile now.

I speak for myself… don’t really take the ranking seriously…just another person’s opinion especially when other divisions are mixed in. Just a reminder, since you’re Japanese and your rankings are related to Japanese Sumo, don’t forget to present the “Emperor’s Trophy” to St Louis for winning the sumo tournament.

I plead guilty on all counts.
As for the schizo change of directions, I blame the jumbo unsweetened ice tea at my local eatery at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Good points. I think my Castle at 10 slot is more about knocking off an unbeaten Top 10 team than full resume.
As for separate polls, as long as the leagues have differing criteria for classification, it doesn’t make enough sense. As a voter, I like having the freedom to vote for a great D-I or D-II team anywhere on my ballot. Happens far more in volleyball and basketball, though.

OIA schools will still recruit from other public schools, hahaha!

There is a specific formula that HHSAA follows to ensure that such suggestions that are exceptions to the norm, do not happen. if ILH wants another team in, find a way to increase the # of private school that play football.

Castle #10? only team with a losing record? I no think so. They had a great game vs Moanalua who apparently took them lightly but the 4 other wins were vs the lesser half of the OIA D1 teams.

BTW, need separate rankings for the different divisions, cannot rank them all in one; open, D1, D2. different level of ability, competition. you’ll run out of deserving teams to rank 10 teams thus, may have to go top 5, otherwise one be searching / grabbing teams out of one’s you know where, to come up with a 10 team ranking.

Also, St Francis, they out! how can you rank a team that forfeited all their games? they didn’t play by the rules. It’s their fault. lets not build them up here. they 0 & 10. even their own ILH league, agreed. next year they can try again.

Your take a bit verbose and you’ve really left little for us to debate but Waipahu over Iolani, c’mon man!
