Why was the OIA against the 3 tiered state football tournament to begin with? Anyways, no way an outer island is going to win the state football championship at highest level of play. Especially now that St Louis is recruiting the outer islands hard. And if you do go back to the Prep Bowl format, you make the OIA regular season way more meaningful. I remember the 1979 OIA championship football game between Waianae and Kaiser drawing 28,000 fans.
Vince dos Passos was the starting QB for St Louis in that first Prep Bowl agme held at the old Honolulu Stadium in Moiliili
