Kahuku does seem to be developing a high-flying offense this year which, according to your thinking will find favor in the medias eyes. However the ball will not be spiral.

Its interesting that PH brings up 2010 with MM. “He ran untouched for a 54 yd TD and never ran again” is also untrue, how can he run for a 54 yd td, never run again and then finish the game with 82 yds.

I think the insinuation is that STL could have won the game if MM ran a 2nd time untouched, and a 3rd time untouched, 4th, 5th…all for TDs to win the game. That is highly unlikely as Kahuku made adjustments in the 2nd half and took a 23-21 halftime lead and blew the game wide open in the 2nd half 49-27. Its a team sport and STL special teams and defense was below average that year, Kahukus offense was probably the most balanced Kahuku has ever seen and their defense was great.

The media always falls for the glitz and glamour of high-flying offenses and spiral footballs. If you can throw a football you have already won in the medias eyes even when you walk home with the L.

I’d just like clarification on your sources for your rankings and roster data. Just within the the Mililani section you mentioned there are several statements that seem off.

First was that Punahou might have the best defensive line in the ILH. To my knowledge I think that there are several individual linemen in the ILH with more offers than the Punahou line combined. Make of that what you will.

Second, where/when did you ever see Hunter Hosoda kick for Punahou? To my knowledge he never attempted any kick/punt. Tim Horn on the other hand is one of two kickers on the roster who has been an up and comer under coach Hannum. He was on the roster and handled kick off duties last year.

Third, Cortez Feria has seen at least as many snaps/carries at RB as Kaufusi and more than Terrell. At least worth mentioning his contribution considering he very well might have the 2nd or 3rd most yards on the team after Barber and Kaufusi.

Fourth, Punahou has no returning starters and only two returnees period at WR, neither with significant experience. If you consider that no component of last year’s dominant passing attack is returning, I would give Mililani a significant advantage.

Comments and opinions are fine, but try double check on your facts.
