"Punahou's defense was also able to shut down Kamehameha's vaunted running game. The Warriors entered the contest averaging 309 rushing yards per game. Punahou held them to just 14 yards of net rushing.

Out of Kamehameha's 26 rush attempts, nine failed to cross the line of scrimmage. The longest run that the Buffanblu allowed was just for five yards."
Well, you have to assume that Kamehameha's running game was overrated from the start, or at least, that's what I thought. You figure, how can their running game be that good when 1.) They lost all but one member of last year's O-line to graduation, and 2.) Apelu is out for the season.
Kamehameha was piling-up all their rushing yards against teams with weak defenses. Still, though, Kamehameha should have had more than 14 yds rushing, even against Punahou. That's probably why Kamehameha dropped so badly in the rankings after that. Kamehameha's O-line didn't look good at all.

Punahou looks dominating but they never been tested! I think the top 5 oia teams could destroy st.Louis and kam. Mililani looks favorite to make it to the state championship game and is going to be welled prepared. Like what I said the earlier the one with best recruits will win the game!

Punahou, Kam, and saint Louis would wipe their @ss with the top 5 OIA team...to bad only one team will represent the ILH in the states...they did this coz they know it could very well be an ILH state championship game every year....believe me when I say it's gonna be a cake walk for the buff n blue...

Yeah sure...then why does the oia have more states titles than ILH? St.Louis and kam got lucky this year not playing the elite teams in the oia. Didn't kapolei run over st.Louis defense during scrimmage so did Farrington did to kam and punahou. Beside mililani had alot of chance to beat punahou in last year's title game AND believe me when I say the ILH needs to recruit to win games.hahahaha

1. Are you sure Farrington ran over Punahou and Kamehameha? That's not what I heard. Sure, Farrington probably has the heaviest O-line in the state, but heaviest doesn't necessarily mean best. In fact, Farrington's O-line is kind of slow, surely due in part to its being so heavy. Note: I'm not a fan of Punahou, believe me. But, I did hear that Farrington didn't do very well against them in their scrimmage.
2. It's hard for Kamehameha to recruit because their players have to have Hawaiian blood. I think their DE Tafua was supposed to play for Kahuku, but I don't know if Kamehameha actively recruited him.
3. To prove I'm not pro-ILH--or pro-any league--I'm rooting for Mililani against Punahou. I don't really care about leagues; I'm interested in teams, regardless of league.

I think as a punahou fan mililani would beat KAM and did beat STL, but i do think the lLH still has the edge over the OIA just because of the recruiting.

Gotta ask--is the gap between Punahou and the other ILH D1 teams as great as the gap was in 2010 between St. Louis and the other ILH D1 teams?

But what about Leilehua, Kahuku, and Campbell (the second bests of the OIA)? A Kamehameha vs Kahuku match up would be intriguing but I'd have to go with Kahuku. Campbell or Leilehua vs. St. Louis would be another toss up, but I might lean towards St. Louis. If only there was someway for all of these teams to play each other near the end of the season...

@fanoffb: I think a Kamehameha / Kahuku matchup would be very good, as they seem to be so even with each other. I have no immediate sense of who would win. For what it's worth, I think Kamehameha has the better QB and the better secondary, while Kahuku has the better running game.
As for St Louis, I think they would beat Campbell but lose to Leilehua. The problem with St Louis is that their D is so weak; certainly, Leilehua's D is better. I could see Leilehua running and passing all over St Louis, while St Louis might pass Leilehua silly. This would probably be a close, high-scoring game. I think Campbell has a better D than Leilehua, but Campbell's O isn't as good as Leilehua's. As good as Campbell's D may be, I don't think it's good enough to contain St Louis' passing game enough for Campbell's O to keep-up score-for-score.
