FACT: St. louis has the longest consecutive streak of championships.

FACT: Kahuku’s Division I titles came before the inception of the Open Division, therefore, the TOP TEAMS WERE IN THAT TOURNAMENT. Kahuku’s Division I titles are the same as St. Louis’ Open titles.

FACT; Mililani’s FIRST Division I (2014) title was as legit as any Division I championship prior to 2016.

FACT: Mililani’s SECOND Division I (2016) title was referred to by Rod York himself as a “Bowl Game”. It’s true that the creation of the Open Division took some of the shine off of the Division I title…. for some teams. While Mililani may be “ho-hum” (yet appreciative) over their 2016 win, I’m sure Hilo is LOVING their 2017 trophy.

FACT: Comparing Kahuku’s Division I championships to Hilo’s is just HATE in TRASH TALKER’S CLOTHING. Hilo’s win came against a field that didn’t include St. Louis, Kahuku, Mililani, etc. …. Apples and oranges.

FACT: St. Louis is the defending champ. Can’t argue that.

FACT: The Prep Bowl was an Oahu thing. Not a true State Championship. I will concede here that the two teams in the Prep Bowl were “likely” the best 2 teams in the state for their respective seasons. but their was no opportunity given to neighbor island teams to possibly pull off “the miracle upset”. I remember a year when Konawaena came to play St. Louis. At the time,Kona was the perennial champ on the Big Island and came to Aloha Stadium with a lot of hype. I though it would be a better game than it was. St. Louis put a hurtin’ on the Wildcats and that was the last of that idea until the State Tournament became a reality.

FACT: Kahuku still holds the most titles “against the best competition”, regardless of what the Division is called. That said, St. Louis has regained their strength after falling off during Cal Lee’s absence.

FACT: I attended two high schools which have histories of victories and defeats versus both Kahuku and St. Louis and have State championships under their belts prior to the Open Division. I respect what BOTH schools have accomplished. They are the “dynasties”. Being from “more humble” programs, it’s clear to see the difference between blind loyalty and school pride.

I hate #HATE

well said!!!!!

Many student athletes made Saint Louis their first choice for reasons such as being a better fit socially (ask some of the student athletes at Punahou about the “vibe” at their school and the “special classes” for athletes only that separate them from the regular student body) superior coaching, new facilities, reputation and family tradition. Also, no “year round” admission period or guarantee of admission (Medeiros runs a pretty tight ship). Saint Louis a leader in the State in robotics and math competitions as well as college prep and other curriculum opportunities. Saint Louis alum are very influential and numerous in the local business and finance community which gets your foot in the door post HS/college.

Let me know if you have any questions or need to discuss as you seem uninformed at the very least or just another nameless troll with the need to whine. Oh yeah. Winning baby.

BTW, congrats on the b-ball victory vs. Maryknoll. Just read that the two leading scorers are transfers from Mississippi and New Zealand. Last year’s team had mercenaries from Virginia and New Zealand, All one and dones. Not exactly “from the community “.

“Rooted not Recruited” 😆. At least the Crusaders are all American citizens.

Have a great three day weekend all!
