unpaid D-II football
Re: unpaid D-II football
Waianae is ranked. If Nanakuli gave them that good a rub, perhaps Nanakuli should be thinking about going D1 next year. Is it possible that Nanakuli wins the OIA D2 title this year?[/quote]
I wouldn't put it past them but I honestly cant say because im only going off of that scrimmage. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Iolani vs Damien - I'll go with Iolani and I don't think it will be close 28 - 7unpaid wrote:Headliners this week,
No.2 Iolani and No.9 Damien. I have said that ILH D-II is actually interesting this year,because I don't think Iolani is a lock like they have been recently.Both teams are bigger physically in some ways than they have been in past years .
I no longer expect Iolani blowouts,but I still think Iolani has enough to win the close ones.Iolani wins this one in a close shave against the Monarchs.
No.3 Konawaena and No.5 Kamehameha-Hawaii. The Wildcats seem rejuvenated from last years disappointment at states while Kamehameha-Hawaii is still trying to get to states.Going with Konawaena.
No.4 Pearl City and No.8 Kaimuki. I like the Chargers to win this one.
Konawaena vs KS-Hawaii This could go either way depending on if Konawaena can stop KS-Hawaii's passing game. If they can, Konawaena will win by 14. If not, this may be an upset with KS-Hawaii pulling out a win in a tight game. Kona pulled out a tough win against Kauai but Kauai was not even close to the team that played Damien and lost last week.
Pearl City vs Kaimuki I'm going with Kaimuki in this contest.

Re: unpaid D-II football
Yeah, Iolani's O-line is pretty scary, at least for D2. I don't think Damien's D-line can handle them.Getreal$ wrote:Iolani vs Damien - I'll go with Iolani and I don't think it will be close 28 - 7unpaid wrote:Headliners this week,

Kaimuki over Pearl City? Wow; when was the last time someone would say THAT? Is it because Pearl City has fallen, or that Kaimuki has gotten better? Perhaps both?

Re: unpaid D-II football
Kaimuki over Pearl City? You losing it my man. I can tell you haven't watched them play cause that sounds like a guess to me.
Re: unpaid D-II football
Relax people, everyone and anyone is entitled to their opinion/predictions. Thats why the outcome is determined on the field and not on this post. Lets hope you are right about Kaimuki being that bad and having no chance against Pearl City.University Ave wrote:Kaimuki over Pearl City? You losing it my man.

Re: unpaid D-II football
Sounds good.....by the way, its you're guessing and you're losing it, not "your". I'm guessing you spend a lot of time watching games and taking to to blogs to attack anyone who doesn't agree with you. You are right, I will say that beating Roosevelt and Waialua gives them a HUGE advantage. But I'm not going to change my predictions, as everyone is entitled to their own opinion and giving an underdog a feeling that someone out there believes in them.University Ave wrote:Yea you right.

Re: unpaid D-II football
Kaimuki had me excited early on, but I guess I was wrong with my attempt at giving the underdog a chance. Better luck next time.
Re: unpaid D-II football
Saturday thoughts,
I am liking Kapaa more and more with each game.The Warriors stopped a resurgent Waimea team in convincing fashion.
Iolani gave some evidence that maybe ILH D-II isn't going to be as competitive as I thought.Still looking forward to the Raiders taking on Pac-Five...that should be a good game.
Pearl City is doing everything they can to confirm my hunch that they will come out of the OIA White and get into states.
Nanakuli seems to be building some serious momentum and could be the second team from OIA D-II in states.Kalani is the only other team at this point in the season that I think could crack into the top two in the White right now.

Re: unpaid D-II football
What did you think about the KS-Hawaii vs Konawaena results? Understanding that the game was played in terrible field conditions with wet mud on that new Baden ball, which should have favored Kona.unpaid wrote:Saturday thoughts,

Well, it was nice of you to support the underdog. Only thing is: SUPPORTING them is one thing; predicting they'll WIN is another.Getreal$ wrote:Kaimuki had me excited early on, but I guess I was wrong with my attempt at giving the underdog a chance. Better luck next time.

Re: unpaid D-II football
I think Pearl City will win the OIA White title. But Nanakuli will certainly have something to say about that. I think Nanakuli will give Pearl City a run for its money.unpaid wrote:Saturday thoughts,

Re: unpaid D-II football
Ok just got some info from my co worker whos nephew is on that nanakuli team.
I was told that they have starters who misses a whole half of playing if they mess up in class or even if they go late to study hall. I kinda like this coach! STUDENT Athlete! If they, the kids, can keep it together then the OIA D2 is not automatically going to Pearl City. Although that PC team looks to be a force to contend with...I might try to go to that game

Re: unpaid D-II football
Yeah. Someone said that Nanakuli gave D1 Waianae fits in a recent scrimmage, so you have to figure that Nanakuli would be competitive with Pearl City. If Kalani develops a SUPER-good passing game, THEY might have a chance, too. Otherwise, I don't think Kalani can match Pearl City physically.Naue wrote:Ok just got some info from my co worker whos nephew is on that nanakuli team.

Re: unpaid D-II football
Getreal$,
The muddy field conditions clearly affected what players could do.Typically,defenses will do well and both defenses kept the opposing offenses off balance.
The difference to me boiled down to Kamehemeha-Hawaii QB Micah Kanehailua. He was able to overcome the unsteady footing to have a hand in all three scores for his team.It is just what you should expect from a three-year starter who has seen his share of wind,rain,and mud on BIIF gridirons.
In the end,the conditions are just as muddy for both sides,and Kamehameha-Hawaii adjusted enough to take the win.Would the result have been different had the field been dry?I felt going into the season,that Konawaena and Kamehameha-Hawaii were pretty close in terms of ability,so I would have to think a dry field would not have made much difference and that the Warriors would have won on a dry field ,too.
