Every team is better at the this point in the season. To suggest that if Pac5 and Waialua played again, Waialua would win is debatable. It makes no difference if you are hurt, if, if, ifs… No one is ever 100% at this point in the season. If you show up to play, no one cares if you say you are not 100%, you are expected to play as if you are 100%, end of story. If a RB does not get touches that is not Pac5s problem it is a coaching decision.

The seasons ends the way the season ends. I have heard very little of Pac5 folks complaining at this point to assume that they should be playing instead of Pac5, that is outside noise. They knew going into this season their fate and yet played hard every game. End of story.

@Hau’ulaBoy
This was a negotiated problem between OIA, ILH and the HHSAA. If the format is to remain and ILH and OIA representation is to remain in all three divisions, there has to be a better negotiated position so that everyone has a chance of postseason regardless of league.

Pac5 had a good season and they have nothing to be ashamed of in the effort they put forward given their fate from day one. It is what it is and great lesson for those boys. Work hard and play harder regardless of the decided outcome. They ended the season with nearly the same number of players that started, that says it all.

Congratulations to Waialua, I hope they give Roosevelt a run for their money.

When they played PAC5 Waialua’s #9 QB/LB was out. The RB#24 the best in DII only carried 12 times but give him 20 carries. #3 WR/DB the best in DII give him 10 catches and not only 4 and he’s 100% healthy now. Another standout receiver #2 can make plays. And #1 can catch too.
The 4 best teams are going to the playoffs

I believe the real difference is not the win, it’s Pac5’s administrative ineligibility to not participate in the state tournament. If they were allowed to play, i believe Pac5 would have been the fourth team and not Wailua.
Correct me if I’m wrong, the Pac5 team did defeat Wailua earlier in the season.
