We’re about midway through the season, long way to go. These lists are strictly my opinion with some consultation with some coaches, some observers, some fans. All input is appreciated. The more eyes we have sharing more information, the better.

Jesse Kaluhiokalani, Kamehameha (5-10, 275, Sr.)
The skinny: No change, though the play of Farrington’s offensive line continues to be impressive. Two running backs with at least 161 yards rushing? Or how about Kahuku’s O-line, continuing to move the ball on the ground against stacked-in-the-box defense? But individually, this stays as is unless I hear a compelling case for other players.
