Ferd and Dave should quit portraying the OIA as petty, short-sighted, and working against the interests of high school athletes.  The OIA's behavior is understandable in light of the reality that the playing field in Hawaii high-school football is not level, any more than it is in college football.  Hawaii also has its "haves" and "have-nots", and the "haves" are the ILH schools with the money and facilities and coaches to cherry-pick top athletes from all over the state, which they do actively and successfully.  The OIA can't change this, but what it can do (and I expect will continue to do) is resist any restructuring of in-season or post-season competition that allows more than one ILH team to reach the state championship game.  History has shown that in most years there is no more than one public school team that can succeed against the ILH elite, and so it makes sense for the OIA to oppose any arrangement that could require the best OIA team to beat two ILH teams to win a title.
