WHAT CLASS?
In Hawaii a school is placed in a class by the league or conference, not the state association. So some large schools (think 2000) are placed in the same class as a school with 235 students. Ferd Lewis of the Honolulu Advertiser has an article on how the system needs to be fixed.

COACHING NEWS
There is a coaching mess at Kalani. Darold Imanaka is no longer the girls basketball coach and George Weeks has been hired. Imanaka led Kalani to the D2 championship in 2006 and to the D1 tournament this year. Kalani opened ALL coaching jobs last month. Lawyers are now involved.
A personal note: I have been in a situation where all the jobs were reopened and you needed to "reapply." It is just a gutless, spineless way for administrators to change coaches. My advice---run away from this school. The administrators are weak and you need to have some backing in the office.
