I think they might have something like 24 (that's gotta be more than kahuku?? idk). On offense they're bigger and more physical than iolani. They should eat iolanis D up if they run the rock, they have a solid RB ( I think his name is faumui? with the long hair) Iolani will have a chance if Campbell passes a lot though, their passing isn't too impressive. Now all that being said, iolani should be ready for the challenge, they have a great coaching staff that should put the players in the right position to make plays. But it may come down to Campbell just being too physical. Anyways, I think it should be a competitive game....I'm going with campbell
@Dog 96707: Yes, I would go with Campbell, too. And again, I agree that Campbell should go with the run game, especially since you said their pass-game isn't that hot. The other bad thing about a pass-game is that it would give
Iolani's O more time to be on the field, and that's the last thing you want if you're Campbell. Now, I consider it very good news that you say Campbell's secondary has a ton of INTs. I prefer that Iolani not win, so the last thing I want to see is Iolani gaining big yardage through the air on 30-yard-plus bombs, possibly to the end zone. They seem to like to do that.
If they try that against Campbell, it would be nice to see the Campbell secondary add to their many INTs. Now, Campbell HC Amosa said on Scoringlive that Iolani has "a sizable D-line," so it might not be as easy as pie for Campbell's O-line to wear them down the way they wore-down Waiakea's D-line. Campbell's O-line is bigger than Iolani's D-line, but Iolani's D-line is by no means small. Therefore, it might be just as important that Campbell's
D-line try to wear-down Iolani's
O-line, get into their heads, try to get some sacks off of them if and when QB Mizutani tries to throw those long bombs into the end zone.
Regarding the Waiakea v Campbell game: Waiakea seemed to have quite a few thick guys on their O-line, but that obviously didn't help Waiakea much. Guess that's a tribute to Campbell's D-line.
