anybody got word on the Saint Louis Mililani scrimmage? Heard Mililani kind of played with them, but also heard half the Saint Louis starters wasnt playing due to injuries or other issues? Can anybody confirm? Also heard the leader was going ballistic for Mililani, can anybody confirm that too? I got word from a few sources that was there, just trying to confirm. Thanks.

Really? you really think these club football teams are really abiding by the rules? maybe some of the rules, but not the key ones. Not to mention , these club teams are not even doing temperature checks and filling out paper work before every practice and games. Recently on the news, with the new covid strains, all the covid cases are linked to youth sports, go look it up. I feel like some of these coaches dont care and are only about getting known for themselves rather than the kids. Right now these club coaches are taking advantage of this situation so that kids from other schools can play for them , and then, you all know whats next, transfer time. Thats what its about, getting an edge. Heard the sabers are not getting involved in any of this because of the consequences that may come with it. The only 3 teams that i know of playing in this club football are trench dogs, Mililani, kapolei. Trench Dogs are doing this to benefit the kids and get them to be looked at for the next level. Mililani and Kapolei are doing this to get an edge on the other public schools and to look good as coaches. Thats it. So with the mililani and kapolei club teams, its the same kids that would be playing varsity football representing their high school, for them to start now with full contact , is a way advantage. Thats all Im saying. If they were to have these club football without the actual high school football coaches that coaches that high school, then to me its all good. But not when you have the actual coaches out their coaching this club football, thats totally getting an edge on all the public schools.

If all the schools that are masquerading as club teams followed all the proper steps to get the boys and coaches registered for club ball, then it’s all good. If they are true club teams, they should not be using any school facilities or equipment. If they are doing that, then it’s all good.

Other schools can and should do the same thing instead of complaining about it. The OIA is not allowing football this year. Period. That’s not changing. If boys really want to play football on the field before the end of May, the only option right now is to form club teams and play each other.

On the other hand, if there is proof that some club teams are not registered properly or are using school facilities and equipment, then by all means turn these guys in and let the schools and leagues hand out proper sanctions.

Hope these coaches, players and their families know about the FAFSA and other ways to get to college. Not as much (or glamorous) as a full-ride football scholarship, but it’s a start.

Moanalua seems to be doing it the right way.
It blows me away that RR’s havent even started working out yet.

Are there any other schools working out on their campus?

With regards to these club teams, Im glad for the seniors and thankful that this option is available for them. I just hope that they are trying their best to follow safety protocols.

Lets get a roll call of how many schools have lost key players to Millville.

Simple. Just draw up a legally binding waiver that absolves the schools, DOE, State and each league (OIL, MIL, ILH, BIIF) from any responsibility for anything COVID related (infection, illness, death). Players, coaches, parents, spectators (you watch a game, you sign a waiver, too) understand that they are playing, coaching, watching a game at their own risk. No lawsuits or medical claims related to the virus would hold water in court. Then, can play ball. Nuff with da finger pointing. Everyone knows it’s a liability issue. Sheesh, even UH football, who tests their players 3 times a week has shut down now due to careless behavior.

So its ok for Mililani , Kapolei to go full pads claiming its club football? Its not fair for all the other schools. Mililani and Kapolei basically have their actual varsity football players playing in these club leagues , going full pads, full contact, basically getting an edge on all the other schools. To me thats not fair. Dont get me wrong, im all for it lets just go already and start football, but if other schools are getting an edge, its not fair. Now you have Mililani football with more than half the football boys not even from Mililani, but yet they play for mililani? whats wrong with that picture? In my eyes it would be ok to have club football , but when you have the actual coaches out there that actually coaches that varsity team, its just not right and fair. At least Kapolei doesnt have their head coach out there. But Mililani has their whole actual coaching staff out there. Too much ego’s going on. I bet Mililani and Kapolei so called ” Club Teams” dont even follow any guidelines to insure the safety of the kids?But well , i guess when you can get away with things and nothing is being done, might as well poke around some more.
