@SUSPENSE…Sitting De Laura shouldn’t have been an excuse not to blow this team out. Yes, they did play a lot of reserves throughout the game and it was evident every time Kapolei went deep. I don’t know if it was for fake TV self promotion, but Cal Lee and Coach Hernandez seem to have been on the same page on how this game would go. Despite Kapolei’s fight, Cal never gave way to his idea of getting reserves their playing time while Coach Hernandez never got fired up about a possible win. Are you trying to convince me that Kapolei’s D is better than Kahuku’s and Punahou’s???? GTFOH!!!! Cal could have dropped 70 on these guys, but he may actually be thinking longevity and health for his players. The ILH is starting to feel the struggle of a REAL season. It’s not in STL dna to play three QBs in one game.

Overall, it was still entertaining and Coach Hernandez did an amazing job taking advantage of every opportunity he had.

Duke, Suisan, ??? and Sea Dog: Get a Clue. The SA poll is the newspapers’ impressions of the top 10 teams based on their personal observations and those people attend the games unlike you 4 clowns who merely base their comments on antiquated beliefs based on yesteryears’ teams. Yes the ILH’s top teams recruit (Kamehameha, Punahou in virtually every sport and St. Louis (in football), Iolani in micro-biology, robotics and asian-american studies) but to say their success is based solely on “recruiting” is absurd and if that’s true, then why are there so many different champions each year??? Riddle me that. Like “Wake Up” said, Kahuku recruits are from all over…look at their basketball teams in the last 2 years. Ah where the heck did Tolu Smith 6’10” center play youth league B-Ball…certainly not in Kahuku’s PAL league and the year before when Jessiah Villa was recruited right out of the fricken Iolani Classic (from his team in Alexandria Virginia). C’Mon Man!

Coach C. explain why we shouldn’t have 3 polls as others have suggested. There are 3 different divisions right?

Not all ILH schools recruit in football (Iolani, Damien and Pac Five) and a lot of their success is really a product of coaching and sometimes luck in getting a few good players in any given year. Mostly hard work and team work and not recruiting like the ILH’s top 3. Coach C. what’s your proof that the DOE determines which OIA schools succeed in football?

Cal Lee was at Kalani for 2 years. You can’t change the culture that quickly lolo ???. If you have any recollection of Cal’s first head coaching stint at St. Louis, he went 1-9 during the season of 1982 class of 1983 were the sacrificial lambs. It takes time and a huge commitment by the administration and the OIA schools like Kahuku, Mililani, and now Campbell and Kapolei have demonstrated this. The short answer is the DOE determines who gets the funds and which principals support athletics. Look at Farrington, they have upgraded their facilities and Al Carganila (Principal) supports athletics and watch their baseball program have success in the next years. Its not about you ??? despite your narcissistic comments or your petty beef between the OIA and the ILH, lolo, its about all of the schools working together to level the playing fields, competition, finances, etc. Only a fool like you can’t look beyond the 4 corners of the field.

@to good times
True!
They don’t have issues fielding 50-60 players!
I’m talking about Waialua, Kaimuki, Aiea, Kalani, Kalaheo, Castle, Nanakuli, Kaiser etc…
Kahuku, Mililani, Farrington, Football powerhouses will never have #s issues.

Notes

St. Louis played their 2nd and 3rd stringers? Nishigaya caught 10 passes for 80 yards and a td. Tuitele, Botelho, Wily,Brown all playing in the 4th quarter. Wow, those are some really good 2nd and 3rd stringers

Pfftt. Kahuku has been recruiting for years. From Tonga, New Zealand, Samoan and the mainland. They just disguise it as kids returning to their “Roots”. Give me a break. I’m sure everyone in Hawaii can say they have an uncle, aunty, cousin who lives on the North shore. Rooted not recruited my ass. More like Flown not Grown
