Right was wondering too about Nunuha. Gentlemen of the Lou is right. St.Louis O line may be the best in the State. The rest f the offense need to catch up. Punahou vs.Kamehameha this weekend will be interesting.
Re: High School Football 2023
It was reassuring to hear Coach Kia emphasize the need to eliminate penalties and turnovers. I hope that emphasis produces results. We’ve got the talent to beat Kamehameha and have already done it at their place. We are also facing a team that’s itching to pay us back for the 62-point loss we handed them at home last year. I hope this year’s team rebounds from the Campbell loss the way the 2008 team rebounded from a lopsided defeat at the hands of St. Louis, which was our only loss that year.TheNewNORM wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:46 pmRight was wondering too about Nunuha.

Re: High School Football 2023
I don't think Punahou will have a problem beating Kamehameha. The Warriors are 4-0, but hardly tested. This will be their first true test and ultimately the first game that really counts. I believe their limitations in the passing game will hurt them in the long run against better opponents. In their games so far, they have been more physical than their opponents and gotten their way with the run game. Punahou will not allow that to happen. The Buff will have a ton of urgency walking into this one and I feel win decisively.

Re: High School Football 2023
The ranking of Kahuku at #9 MaxPrep is a good thing for Hawaii. Even if Kahuku wins States with a unblemished State opponents, I can only see a one point climb in national polls.
The other benefit of course is a Hawaii team beating them. I'm surprised Campbell is not at least in a top 100. In two weeks Campbell plays @Kahuku. A win of course will be great for Campbell program and ranking.
Then you have Kapolei and Mililani waiting in the OIA playoffs. After that probably Punahou in the States. Not saying Kahuku will win it all, but will probably be favored. Just saying. What will be exciting is watching the different teams and coaches plan against the RR.

The Waianae game and the way they struggled that night makes me think they ain’t all that.University Ave wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2023 9:17 am I don't think Punahou will have a problem beating Kamehameha.

Kamehameha-Punahou.
Punahou still has all it’s goals on the table.It can afford a non-league loss and still win the ILH Open and get to Open states.In a three team league,you really can’t afford to lose to the other two teams if you want to compete for a state title.
Punahou has a very stingy run defense which I believe will dull Kamehameha’s best weapon which is the run.The Warriors secondary is a little too generous giving up passing yardage which helps Ty McCutcheon and his receivers.
Punahou should win but there’s a disclaimer attached.
The loss to Campbell showed that Punahou can’t overcome penalties to win against a good opponent. Punahou has to clean up the penalties or they will be playing catch-up in the ILH.
