this game. Kahuku is a pretty small school. We had a rule (not sure if it’s still in effect) that in order to play football, you had to play a second sport for the school. Championship game was 11/29 so they only been a full squad for a couple of weeks.
Funny story, way back when the BOE decided that they needed to make divisions (D-1,D-2 etc) there was a big debate about what to base them on and school sizes were being considered kind of like how they are done on the mainland. Only problem was that Kahuku was/is one of the smallest schools on Oahu. They came up with a rating system for best football teams that had three divisions Red, White, and Blue. Schools would be moved depending on how they did the season prior so every year some schools would be promoted and some relegated. It seemed to be working but the private schools weren’t part of it so they eventually had to change to the divisions they have now.
