Can you people explain the ILH advantage to me?

ILH and OIA have mats to practice on… last I checked a better mat doesn't make a better wrestler.

They both are required to wear head gear… I don't think a head gear makes a better wrestler.

They both wear shoes… $15 shoes wrestle just as good as $200 shoes.

ILH and OIA schools have weights rooms… Unless there are special weights that make you stronger, they still need to be picked and used the same way in the ILH and OIA. I know that PAC-5 doesn't have access to a weight room during practice.

I know some OIA schools have fancy singlets but I don't think they help you wrestle better even if they make you look like you are good.

Maybe they have special clocks that turn a 2hr practice into a 4hr practice… I know the ILH season has a later start date then OIA. In fact Iolani is strict about their 2hr practice rule and the wrestling room closes promptly at the conclusion of practice.

Last I checked wrestling is a sport where hard work and dedication is the corner stone to success on the mat. One of the oldest, hardest and most competitive sports in the world, a noble sport of kings and champions… and all you guys want to do is spit on it and drag it down with all your griping and bickering.

Why not help out your neighbor and elevate the sport for the 808. Good competition drives the sport to higher levels and bad mouthing drags the sport down.

If you don't like what someone is doing/saying talk to them instead of hiding behind your alias and stabbing people in the back. If we all don't start helping each other we all going be like the a'ama crabs stuck in the bucket… as soon as one reaches the top the other all waiting to pull him back down….

Now I know why Iolani sucks. Punahou should end the practices they get early because even with the extra time they still suck.

I think the past 20-years is what OMJ is asking about;

Reality – it is what it is. Aurite? Chee.

OIA Rules: You actually seem to make up in loyalty what you lack in grammaticall skillitude and reality management. I'm a fan of wrestling; OIA, ILH, MIL, BIF, PAL, whatever; so i'd be more than happy if a worthy OIA school (like the Kahuku teams of old) took States. Heck, I've been cheering for years for Lahainaluna to finally put it together in March. 

But, Punahou sucks? See chart above. They might not have too many fans outside of Ka Punahou, but they definitely do not suck. Iolani sucks? They may have struggled with number for the past 5+ years, but they still consistently place in the top 10. And I'd keep an eye on the ILH intermediate championships this weekend for a sign of things to come.

But, whatever. Keep us posted on OIA results and your predictions. Forum boards needs it's trolls. Keeps it fun.

Honorable mention: Kam School, Lahainaluna, Pac-5 and Punahou

Outstanding Wrestlers this season: Blake Cooper, Chase Tantog, Ikea Ikehara, Bubba Reyes, Brayden Akeo

Top wrestlers who were really scrubs: Todd Murakawa, Bryan Peralta, Zach Hernandez, LJ Remmilard, Holden Takahashi, Sean Chan and Chanse Uyeda

Most Entertaining wrestler: Brayden Hill (He cracks me up!) I'd pay to see him every day.

Panty of the year: Todd Murakawa

The winning school is pretty consistantly the one with the most money it looks like

Correction! "The world’s largest and wealthiest private school system, Hawaii’s Kamehameha Schools…" The Wall Street Journal

I was told that Carbahol of Lahainaluna is moving up to 125 for states, and that Uyeda is going back down to 152

for states.

It's funny reading about the ILH boys. It's not gonna make a difference where Oshiro, Terao, Murakawa, Carbahol, Kuahine, Hernandez, Fukushima, Uyeda, Peralta or Remmilard winds up. Lets get it straight, none of these losers will win at states. It's gonna be the OIA all the way. Mililani, Pearl City and campbell will dominate and win multiple individual state titles. I predict Campbell will win the team title.

These ILH boys have absolutely no dedication to the sport. They're to busy playing with their computers. They could take a clue of how to be successful from the OIA. A classic example of this was when the Campbell Sabers football team rolled over Punahou on their home field back in October. We're gonna see a repeat of this at states.

It's gonna be fun watching the scrubs at Punahou get what they deserve. 7th place behind the IMUAS who I predict will be in 6th place. I'll be sure to take pictures of the Punahou and the IMUA wrestlers crying when they lose!
