FootballGuy Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Kahuku and St. John Bosco talk about potential home-and-home series By Nick Abramo on September 19, 2019 | FEATURED, FOOTBALL St. John Bosco quarterback DJ Uiagalelei (18) led the Braves during practice Thursday at Turtle Bay. Photo by Marco Garcia/Special to the Star-Advertiser. St. John Bosco football coach Jason Negro was in the Turtle Bay Resort lobby on the way out to practice on the property Thursday when he was approached by Kahuku co-athletic director Wendy Anae. “She said, ‘We’d love to play you in a two-year deal,’ ” Negro said. They exchanged contact numbers and there could be more talks. “That is certainly a possibility,” Negro said about playing against the Red Raiders in a two-game home-and-home series. “We would love to be able to play at their place. That’s what I’m excited about on Saturday night. We’re playing at Mililani, not the stadium. It’s going to mean a lot to their community to have our kids play on their campus.” St. John Bosco’s Braves (No. 2 in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25) of Bellflower, Calif., came to Hawaii once before, a 63-14 victory over Saint Louis in 2014. They’re here preparing to play the Trojans, who are No. 2 in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s statewide poll. “I would love to play in front of that crazy Red Raider nation,” Negro added. “We’re always looking for opportunities to challenge our student-athletes and there wouldn’t be anything bigger than to play them in their house.” But Negro isn’t looking past Mililani in any fashion. “Coach (Rod) York and his staff do a great job coaching,” he said. “They play really good defense and I’ve seen that they’re not giving up a whole lot. Their running back (Malosi Sam) is one of the top kids we’ve seen all year — his ability and how hard he runs. “And we’re playing at Mililani. It’s not going to be easy. I heard the weather may be funky. And high school kids drive off of momentum. That’s the biggest scare for me. If the crowd is getting into it and they get some positive things going early in the game, it’s gonna be a game. They’re going to give us everything we can handle and we are not taking them lightly. We know we’re not coming over here with a huge advantage. We’re 4-0. They’re 6-0. It’s going to be a great game.” Negro talked about the national perspective, which is more pronounced now than ever. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for schools across the states who step up in competition and challenge their athletes. And nobody does it better than Hawaii. Maybe Utah is a close second and Vegas in third, maybe. What Hawaii does with Punahou and Kamehameha, Saint Louis, Kahuku, Mililani — those guys step up and play the competition from the mainland year in and year out. It says a whole lot not only about the culture as a whole, as a people, but also you’ve got to give the school administrations, the coaching staff, families and communities credit to make the sacrifices to make this happen. They want to be seen, and as a result Mililani is No. 22 and Saint Louis is in the Top 10. They’re doing something right here. We are very appreciative of the willingness to play us. It means a lot to me.” Negro also called out to Texas, hoping to get the Lone Star state teams more interested in traveling and not just hosting out-of-state national powers. “Texas is very interesting,” he said. “They seem to be leery of traveling. They blame the districts or blame this and that or that they have such big programs that they can’t travel. If you can build $60 million stadiums, you can travel your team in Austin to come and play in Bellflower. I don’t buy the excuses. They need to step up and travel like the rest of us if they want to be mentioned with the rest of the national programs. We’ve been to Cincinnati, New Jersey, DC, Florida, Hawaii twice and Utah. We’ve been all over the place.” What do y'all think about this? @Horsefly @Texasball @Texasboys23 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The administrators at Texas schools have never considered themselves national teams. The money to build stadiums vs money to travel come from two different sources that are not connected to each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo51 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Let's see stadiums are built with bond money and travelling budgets would come from the districts general fund apples to oranges and once again texas teams could care less about what the other teams in the nation think it doesn't stop the college coaches from coming to our schools. How about texas gets an all star team together and play teams against the nation because that's all bosco and mater dai are at the end of the day, recruited all star teams 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasball Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I say since he considers his team national and I have never heard Texas coach say the same.

My thing is this: if playing Texas teams is on your (these private schools) agenda and you already know what you're getting yourself into, stop complaining about them (texas teams) not traveling, hop your rich asses on that plane and go play them in their back yard. If not, just shut the hell up and gone about your business...lol. Beggars can't be choosers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the NCAA all energies are in support of the college playoffs, bowl games and payouts. HS is all over the place with different states, districts having different priorities, etc. not everyone is on the same page and never will be.

They've made such a mockery of their competition and their state "championship", bowl or whatever it is, that they have nothing really to compete for except to have "experts" declare them National Champion. Seriously. It's kind of sad watching their silly production they put on. Calling out states and/or certain schools. Having their "agents" function as match-maker and then fudge the truth or drop inside info on which teams talked to which team and then create some made up or embellished story about why one team didn't sign on for a game. It's beyond ridiculous at this point honestly. The out of state games are fun and all. I actually love them, but this weird next level production that's being put on for something that is made up... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 If you want a real national championship, the first thing to do is make a uniform governing body that has the money and teeth to enforce their rules. That has to be first. Calling out schools and states like this guy is doing isn't the same as lobbying for a uniform governing body. It's a clown show. It's a production.

Do you really want to compare what these Texas football programs make in a year compared to your teams? That’s the whole reason you all are wanting to be here to tap into the financial windfalls there is only one authority for TXHSFB and that’s the UIL, there will never be another larger overarching one to supplant them.

Not putting on a production. Some "look at me while I dance on the table drunkenly" thing. Lol It's a babe in diapers alright. I think they're full of something already too.
