They have trio of freshman that have grown up in the Luna 'system" These freshman were beating up on all the JV teams on the Big Island. The Bates twins will be something to reckon with. They also have an 8th grader that could be the best player to come out of Lahaina. </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/top-freshman-girl-players-especially-ilh-1#post-31772 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:22:47 +0000 ahhswoosh 31772@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>My opinion is that it is too early to tell. Some of the good girls in club play don't make an impact on high school teams cause the difference in styles. Club teams have 8 to 10 deep and almost all can do something special. In High school, they are lucky to have a strong 5!!! The exception is the "System" teams like Punahou, Iolani, Konawaena, Kaiser and Roosevelt who have girls that play in the "System" so by the time they get to high school the girls know that system. Although Iolani/Punahou has no real farm system they have close ties to outside clinics, plus they have the luxury of getting talent for education. </p> <p>Some will be selected on size alone. An example is Alohi Robbins at Kamehameha. Last year she was raw </p> <p>Most Freshmen at ILH schools are really sophomores! </p> <p>BOTTOM LINE IS THERE IS NO FRESHMEN GIRL IN THE STATE THAT CAN TAKE OVER A GAME AND DOMINATE. </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/top-freshman-girl-players-especially-ilh-1#post-31756 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:45:28 +0000 808statebasketball 31756@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>Let me know what you think.... </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/top-freshman-girl-players-especially-ilh#post-31755 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:42:49 +0000 808statebasketball 31755@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>Let me know what you think.... </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/who-will-be-the-next-kamehameha-girls-basketball-coach#post-29899 Sat, 07 May 2011 21:46:51 +0000 Regulators 29899@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>Does anyone have an idea on who is going to be the next Kamehameha Girls Basketball coach?????????

In my opinion their streak would have come to a crashing end even if they stayed on. Who besides Mysha do they have? Their 2 bigs are tall, young and scrawny. Their 8 guards are short, young, and scrawny. Their middle school players lack athleticism and skills. All equal to a train wreck.</p> <p>On the other hand the warriors boast legitimate sized post players ranging from 5'10"-6'1"(6) who are also multi-sport athletes. Their guards are tall, athletic, and experienced. They are also in the running to acquire 2- 5'6" incoming 7th graders who are also multi-sport talented. I have spoken to their parents and their choices of schools do not include Punahou. </p> <p>The promised land could be inevitable no matter who the coach is! </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/who-will-be-the-next-kamehameha-girls-basketball-coach#post-29652 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:13:37 +0000 PigFeetSoup 29652@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>..uHFan...what's wrong with these candidates? uHFan reminds me so much of another writer.

Your draw looks good.</p> <p>I don't like how teams get byes in basketball. If you look at all levels I don't see teams getting byes. The NBA does not have byes. The NCAA tournament does not have byes. Basketball is meant to be played out. The seedings and matchups based on the seedings should be enough of a reward.</p> <p>I understand that money maybe the biggest reason for 12 teams, but I still prefer 16.</p> <p>Based on your draw, the side opposite Punahou will have Kona, Lahaina, Farrington, and Iolani. That is a tough side to come out of. If a team comes out of that half, then beats Punahou (assuming they make it there) in the finals, that would really be a worthy state champion. </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/biif-girls-follow-up/page/2#post-4233 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:35:56 +0000 BIIFHoops 4233@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>HoopFanatic, I couldn't agree with you more on the Girls State Tournament seeding.</p> <p>If Roosevelt wins the OIA<br /> 1-Punahou<br /> 2-Kona<br /> 3-Lahainaluna<br /> 4-Roosevelt</p> <p>If Farrington wins the OIA<br /> 1-Punahou<br /> 2-Kona<br /> 3-Farrington<br /> 4-Lahainaluna </p> <p>I can't remember the last time the OIA was seeded #4 in the Girls State Tournament. I don't think it will ever happen.</p> <p>If Roosevelt wins the and is awarded the #4 seed I have the match-ups like this:</p> <p>OIA #6 Aiea vs. MIL #2 Baldwin winner vs #1 Punahou</p> <p>OIA #4 Kailua vs. BIIF #2 Waiakea<br /> winner vs. #4 Roosevelt</p> <p>OIA #3 Kalani (if they lose tonight) vs ILH #2 Iolani<br /> winner vs #3 Lahainaluna</p> <p>OIA #5 Moanalua vs. OIA #2 Farrington (if they win tonight)<br /> winner vs #2 Konawaena</p> <p>What kind of match ups you got HoopFanatic? </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/biif-girls-follow-up/page/2#post-4229 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:09:29 +0000 HoopFanatic 4229@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>If Farrington wins then I would have them seeded #3. But if Roosevelt wins I would seed them #4 and this why. Lahainaluna had a much more impressive preseason than Roosevelt, beating MPI if I am not mistaken and also taking Kona down to the wire.</p> <p>Roosevelt had a very erratic season and just got hot at the right time. </p> <p>Lahaina had a better league record than Roosevelt. </p> <p>But even if Roosevelt wins the OIA, I would be very surprised if they seed the OIA Champ #4. That would put Farrington, Lahainaluna, and Kona on the same bracket. </p> <p>That would be logical if the committee did that, but that would make good matchups for Punahou in the semis and the HHSAA really wants good crowds. So, I can see the committee seeding Lahaina #4 for that very reason. </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/biif-girls-follow-up/page/2#post-4224 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:53:13 +0000 brew 4224@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>Agree with most of the seedings. The only one I might change would be Lahainaluna being the 3rd seed and the OIA getting the fourth. But, I wouldn't be disappointed w/ the way you seeded them.</p> <p>Good Job!!!</p> <p>Do you know who would then match up with who in the 1st round? And the format for the second round? </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/biif-girls-follow-up/page/2#post-4222 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:37:55 +0000 HoopFanatic 4222@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>Personally I think the HHSAA's method of placing and seeding teams is flawed. I understand that part of creating and promoting a state tournament is to create interesting match-ups that the fans want to watch. I think this is the idea behind placing the #2 and #3 teams from the same league opposite the league champion. </p> <p>I am guessing that many people don't want to see the same teams playing for the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th time until the finals or at the worst, semi-finals.</p> <p>This is written into the guidelines that the HHSAA uses to place teams.</p> <p>But, the idea should be to place the teams based on the quality of the teams. </p> <p>I also wish the teams would expand to 16 teams (OIA-7; ILH-3; BIIF-3; MIL-3). Then no one will get a bye which I think is silly. This is not football where they need a bye.</p> <p>Then the HHSAA committee should seed the teams straight up, 1-16 regardless of league.</p> <p>This is how I would seed:</p> <p>1-Punahou<br /> 2-Kona<br /> 3-Farrington<br /> 4-Lahainaluna<br /> 5-Iolani<br /> 6-Roosevelt<br /> 7-Kalani<br /> 8-Waiakea<br /> 9-MIL #2<br /> 10-Kailua<br /> 11-Moanalua<br /> 12-Aiea </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/biif-girls-follow-up/page/2#post-4221 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:28:05 +0000 biifhawaii 4221@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>HOOPFANATIC...... Hopefully the seeding committee is looking at this post because thats how the seeding should look like for next weeks tournament. </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/biif-girls-follow-up/page/2#post-4218 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:15:56 +0000 HoopFanatic 4218@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>Good insight grassshack. The seedings should come out on Sunday. It usually is faxed to the athletic departments around lunchtime and made public around 3-4pm normally.</p> <p>As for Kona, they are too talented, and the BIIF is weak this year to really show on the court.</p> <p>Depending on who wins the OIA, this is how I would seed them.</p> <p>If Roosevelt wins the OIA<br /> 1-Punahou<br /> 2-Kona<br /> 3-Lahainaluna<br /> 4-Roosevelt</p> <p>If Farrington wins the OIA<br /> 1-Punahou<br /> 2-Kona<br /> 3-Farrington<br /> 4-Lahainaluna </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/biif-girls-follow-up/page/2#post-4215 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:04:39 +0000 grassshack 4215@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>I agree, it is not ethical and it may (or may not) show favoritism towards a certain player. If Kona has internal problems, it doesn't show on the court, and that's all that should matter at this point. Onward to the State Tourney...when do the seedings come out? </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/biif-girls-follow-up/page/2#post-4211 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:29:37 +0000 KonaStyle 4211@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>That is a great point. But just because it is hidden or not known, it doesn't make it right.<br /> Also, often rules are prehistoric and outdated. Just because it's not against the rules doesn't mean it's ethical.<br /> I know it isn't against the rules. But providing a service only to one player seems to be a form of favortism, don't you think?????? </p>
