What is the problem with a regular season and post season tournament. They are both treated equal. The regular season champ is rewarded, gets a spot in the states and a top seed into the ILH tournament. When it was all said and done, PUN beat STL 3 out of 5 games. So if STL was the best team, most talented team, as their coach professed, how come they lost to PUN 3 times? How can a team that lost to another team 3 times (in a row when it counted the most) claim to be champs? If you want to control your own destiny, just win............... Well, Kailua lost…………..

Im just on of those disgruntal people that cant understand how a team with 5 losses and a tie, become ILH champs. Maybe we should cancel the regular season games and just play one tourney for the whole season. Dont get me wrong, Puns stepped up for the tourney and credit is due. It should be a good state tourney with 3 hard hitting ILH teams and some strong showings from Pearl City, Kailua and Aiea. Go and support your team! ILH champions?????

Beat Punahou and Ishigo has another state ring! He has the horses to go all the way. Scotty is probably the most feared hitter on the island! Take um deep!!! Kailua is in a great spot for states.

Funny how that happens when you win games. Punahou won the ILH without their ace throwing any innings. Congrats to them and good luck in states. Not so much talk about bad coaching now, right?!

The program was competitive but didn't collect the trophies like the recent teams. Punahou baseball back in the day was about family, character building and learning sound fundamentals and playing hard ... and extended to summer youth programs outside the school program as well. Any kid playing for the Eldredges came out lava rock solid in character with a love of baseball ingrained. The Eldredge Way carries on today in some form or another in programs across the islands, and the coming week celebrates the best of Hawaii's youth in a sport that is truly played at a level second to none in the other 49 states. Whoever wins will deserve to be called Ekahi for good reason, so good luck to all ... I come from the days when Pops, Dave and Pal Eldredge were running the show on the Punahou campus.

State b-ball boys champion? Punahou. State b-ball girls champion? Punahou. And they've probably won some other stuff for other sports that I don't have in mind right now. Clearly, the UCLA of the islands when it comes to sports competition. Long tradition of wins. But, you gotta wonder if part of the drive is because they got one of their alums running for the U.S. presidential office (do I even NEED to mention his name)? Man . . . what bragging rights Punahou will have if Obama gets elected? :) Heh. State b-ball boys champion? Punahou. State b-ball girls champion? Punahou.

Had Punahou relegated to a may-qualify (for state tournament) status. Now they're the top seed. Amazing resurgence. Had Punahou relegated to a may-qualify (for state tournament) status.
