Hernandez is HC for West Team, Wong is HC for the East Team. Rosters going change as I hear ILH ruled that underclassmen are NOT allowed to participate in this game. Not sure on the OIA underclassmen.
That’s too bad to hear about no underclassman but I was surprised last year to see underclassman playing in an all star game. What concerns me more is if any of these players also are playing in the Polynesian Hall of Fame game–that’s 3 games in a little over a week.
Wow, I wonder why ILH let Tua play in 2014 with JPS Hawaii all star in Washington (Tanoa Bowl) and last yrs Paradise classic. What about the full contact camps (gpa, all poly) these underclassmen attend, is that not allowed either? @Jesse, for some of these seniors these 3 games might be their last 3 games. Alot of the St louis Punahou studs are JPS kids.
