Wow, now I’m “biased” against Konawaena? That’s a new one. I’ve heard it the other way, even that I graduated from Konawaena.

Polls are always interesting. They have the nutritional value of whipped cream, I like to say. Still fun to taste.

For everyone who disagrees with each week’s poll, welcome to the club. We collect ballots and the points add up and we post them. Each reader is more than welcome to post his or her own Top 10.

For me, Konawaena is No. 1 on my ballot. I tend to vote with the defending champion in whatever sport we vote on. Especially if that defending champion hasn’t lost a game yet.

Apparently, though, some voters dropped Konawaena quite a bit on their ballots. Or maybe ‘Iolani was that convincing in preseason. To our Wildcats fans in Kealakekua, please keep us updated. I’m wishing I could be at the tournament this week, especially when Lahainaluna plays Konawaena 🙂

Do the wildcats have players on their team from neighboring islands?
Or from out of district ?

A person told me that his friend moved his daughter to Kona to play for them. I didnt want to believe him.

Everyone is playing copy cat; Iolani plays their game and instead of playing to strengths “coaches” try to copy them and lose. Honda not biased; just the state of girls hoops. Kalani a perfect example; should be undefeated; but tried running with Iolani and lost
