Would like to see the video of kams last kickoff going out of bounds and the refs still spot it at the usual spot, Just another game where STL gets juiced by the refs. Do these refs get held accountable for anything?

Big suprise. Last year it was Dylan Kane, this year its Yam. Wish Cal could win without putting teenagers at risk. 200+ yards in penalties in every big game.

Shouldn’t have the QB run any more. All trick plays were done and the only thing left to do was have theor young QB run. You make your QB, u pay the.consequences.

All i know is Saints oline were getting owned second half. Center is the weak point . Saw 3 center changes that game. Kamehameha adjusted by spying Tua. Saw Kale Ane in the stands so if I could see that Im sure HE saw that too! Yam will bounce back next year! No worries. Would have been nice to see how well he would have done this season. Football is a contact sport! Yam knew that coming in just like Tua and the rest of the kids ! Comes with the territory!

In reply to H7. Hello H7. In answer you your question of why we ran three stories on this. Story No. 1: We reported the news that Yam was out for the season. Story No. 2: We reviewed the play with still photographs because many people claimed it was a late hit and we got the HHSAA head of officials to say that he didn't think it was a late hit (which is vindicating the Saint Louis player and not slandering) Story No. 3: Video of the play (so all the readers can get a better look on this controversial play) that we were unable to get until Wednesday because only the schools had it. Thanks to the generosity and time of Cal Lee and his assistant coaches, we were able to get the video from Saint Louis. Cal gave us the video because he truly feels that it will further vindicate his player. I hope I answered your question. If not, let me know.

“For the people that say football is football and people get hurt. You are right. I know quite a bit of kids that won’t hesitate to take a 15 yard penalty to injure an opponent and take him out of the game.”

you’re already assuming that this is what the kid did: intentionally launch himself at the qb in order to injure him.

if the kid flagrantly did that after the play was whistled dead with the intent to injure then yes, he should be suspended, kicked off the team, whatever. what i think is stupid is to parse EVERY picture of the play and try to manufacture a controversy where there might not be any.

if it was a bang bang play with an injured player, then that’s unfortunate, but that’s also football. it’s a violent game. when you run qb draws and option plays, these things will happen.

For the people that say football is football and people get hurt. You are right. I know quite a bit of kids that won’t hesitate to take a 15 yard penalty to injure an opponent and take him out of the game. I won’t mention the school. I also hear the parent yelling for their kid to take out the opponent and when they do get hurt, the parents yell “Hashtag # Game Changer”, with excitement. For those who doubt, “WAKE UP”. You know it’s true and don’t want to acknowledge it.

Nick Ambramo, why are you entertaining Kameheha fans by trying to slander another young boys name? You posted three articles about this. Making this one big deal! What is the purpose? The game is over. Should we dig up all videos and analyze every hit that’s ever injured a football player? Is this really what football has come to?

Saw the video. QB crossed the end zone and was coming to a stop then he got speared with the top of the DB’s helmet. I didn’t see any attempt to wrap up and make a clean tackle. If the DB read and reacted to the run sooner he could have made the play behind the goal line but if he hit him the same way it still would have been a penalty according to the new rules. Early in the season Kahuku had a player ejected for 2 games for a tackle like that. The defender was already committed but instead of wrapping up he popped and pushed him back with his arms. Looked like a clean hit to everyone but the refs. Just be happy this boy didn’t get ejected and is allowed to play next week. I hope Kamehamehas QB heals up well.
