Yeah, punahou lost 2 games to SL and the zebras.

No can when it’s 12 vs 11.

I swear had one small crusader logo on the refs left sleeve…..

Happy Thanksgiving

The whole thing is stupid. Creating a division just so the ilh can have full pads practice. They made the Oia become just like the ilh, Play each other, then play each other again, only to play each other one more time

Correct the division numbering protocol every state has the higher number be the larger schools.

Who knows if Pun would have lost a third game against SL.

Watch the the film.

Game changing calls in game #1 which led to 2 SL TD’s (I heard refs got reprimanded).

Bogus holding flag to call a TD back in game #2.

Lucky never have instant replay.

SL will have their 4-peat.
They’re still a great team and well coached.

All open teams can.
It’s called a district exception.
Just look at how Mililani and Campbell did it.
Since it was done, cant argue about that.
In fact, OIA may have it better because you don’t have to sit out a year. So ILH may actually be at a disadvantage because not many players would want to transfer as a soph or junior if they lose a year of eligibility.

Everyones talking about “NOT FAIR” Punahou didn’t make states!
Nobody talking about ILH LEGALLY recruiting NOT being fair to all OIA schools?
Punahou lost to STL twice and would of lost a third time too;
Let all Open teams LEGALLY recruit than choose The Top 4 teams. “That’s Fair”

There’s only two leagues in the Open, and ILH and OIA both have their own playoffs. Just do the own prep bowl again. So pointless for some easy cash for Spectrum and home teams.

Just fix the dang format for the future years to come.
All games count for everyone, then take the top 4 teams for the Open Div State Championship tournament. Very simple. OIA just be happy with the majority of the gate $$$ and let the best compete.

Yes, Punahou had a great season, but it’s all water under the bridge now. SL will 4-peat.

Btw, since SL has been unbeaten for the past several years, has any other team besides this years punahou team come within 7 pts or less?

open division – adding Punahou would not change who the eventual champion will be – st louis. believe Punahou played st louis twice and lost twice. nobody cares about 2nd place, only the champion. same with the other divisions, Damien would not have won anyway they simply were not good as iolani. and believe that iolani will lose to Hilo.
