Thank you for the article Jerry. You’re right the Prep Bowl was considered the Mythical State Championship. However, to me, the teams that played in those games were the two best in the state. I was apart of 3 prep bowl winning teams at St.Louis. We played Kahuku one year and Waianae the next two. No disrespect to any of the outer island teams but I don’t think they were very good during my high school years. We played Baldwin on Maui and the game was not close. It wasn’t because they were a bad team, they were the best on Maui, but we had better athletes and our coaching set us apart. Times have changed and the parity between teams is better which is good for Hawaii prep football but Oahu had the better teams during that span. Thanks again.

Lets be honest… Every state title game has come down to ILH vs OIA. To say the prep bowls were not the state title game is ridiculous. The HHSAA needs to look into adding a second ILH seed, and possibly getting rid of the 3rd OIA team. It’s not right to have only one ILH seed, when there are usually 2-3 in the top 5 every year.

Kimo, I don’t have the win-loss right now, but i will share it when i get it. I saw stories in both papers about their 101st meeting one year in the 1970s and added from there. So it is certainly legit.

Good reporting, Jerry. Ironic if best football program in state history is deleted from record book and team that would probably never win championship if it played D-1 gets in. But records can be strange. Anybody got some spare asterisks?

Do you call it a state championship now, when the best teams in the state are oftentimes not invited?
