Before I jet off to some meetings at Aloha Stadium…I wanted to share with you a unique game that we’ve just added to our broadcast schedule.

On September 12, 2008 - OC16 Sports will present Anuenue vs Aiea- live 7:30 pm from Mililani High School.

In short Anuenue is a Hawaiian language immersion school that plays football using the Hawaiian language!  It is wonderful to hear and their football skill is strong too.  So the combo of getting to see some pigskin action done in true Hawaiian Style, well that should be fun for all.

Their opponent, Aiea will give them all they want as Na Ali’i has something to prove after being dropped down to the White Division from the OIA Red.

All in all, this is one of those games to mark on your schedule.

Ok…gotta go!  Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this!  Aloha!

Hello prep football fans…especially ILH aficionados…here are two ILH football games that are now “officially” on the OC16 TV schedule for the fall.

* September 20 - Saturday - Damien vs World of Life (from Kamehameha) - 7 pm

* October 17 - Friday - Punahou vs Iolani - 3 pm

These games round out of a nice slate of ILH teams for the 2008 season.  Counting the Interleague games, people will be able to see six ILH football schools on TV - Iolani, St.Louis, Pac-Five, Damien, Word of Life, and Punahou.

I’d like to give a big mahalo to all the schools involved for being a part of OC16 Sports.  Special props to Kamehameha for hosting two other schools on “their” field as well as Punahou for opening up their campus for our equipment in the first TV game from that campus. 

This is unprecedented coverage of ILH football.  

I mean just two years ago this would have been a pipe dream.  But thankfully OC16’s growing relationship with the ILH is coming along nicely.  Many schools from the league have gotten a chance to learn more about us, likwise, we’ve learned a lot about the league and how complex their scheduling is.

The end result is the addition of more ILH competition on TV which hopefully makes everybody happy. 

Happy a great holiday weekend all!
