Many of you read the article from Kevin Jakahi in the Big Island Papers on the BIIF Football 1st Half Champions Race. I read from it, and I was wrong because the information was wrong. Thank you to Lyle Crozier, the interim Executive Director of the BIIF for clarifying things for our listeners and for myself on the program.
In case you missed it, here is the procedure on how it would work and the scenarios in play tonight:
Division 1: Kealakehe 3-0, Kea'au 2-1, Honoka'a 2-1
- If Kealakehe wins over Keaau - Kealakehe is first half D1 Champion
- If Keaau wins over Kealakehe, and Honokaa beats Waiakea - First half champion would be determined by a point differential tiebreaker between Kealakehe, Keaau, and Honokaa
- If Keaau wins over Kealakehe, and Waiakea beats Honokaa - Keaau would be First Half champion based on head-to-head tiebreaker with Kealakehe
UPDATE: Honoka'a loses to Waiakea on Friday night 14-0, so they are eliminated from the first-half crown picture. Tonight's Kealakehe / Kea'au game on ESPN Radio will determine the first half champion.
UPDATE #2: As heard on Saturday night here on ESPN Radio, Kealakehe's 27 - 13 win over Kea'au gives the Waveriders the first-half championship, as they finished the first half 4-0, to Kea'au's 2-2 and Honokaa's 2-2.
Division 2: Konawaena 3-0, HPA 2-1, Kohala 3-1
- If Konawaena beats HPA - Konawaena is the First Half D2 Champion
- If HPA beats Konawaena - First half champion would be determined by point differential tiebreaker between HPA, Konawaena, and Kohala
Kohala has a bye week this week, and have decided to not play a game, so they will wait for HPA and Konawaena to duke it out.
UPDATE: HPA beat Konawaena 12-0 on Saturday at HPA, but because of the point differential between the three teams in question (HPA, Konawaena, Kohala), Konawaena takes that tie-breaker to get the first half title. Here's the numbers:
Konawaena: 40-6 W over Kohala, 12-0 Loss to HPA (40 PF, 18 PA = +22 Point Differential)
HPA: 12-7 Loss to Kohala, 12-0 Win over Konawaena (19 PF, 7 PA = +12 Point Differential)
Kohala: 40-6 loss to Konawaena, 12-7 Win over HPA (18 PF, 47 PA = -29 Point Differential)
All that equals a Konawaena first half championship.
That begs the question: Should point spreads be used to determine champions?

Point differentials in tie breakers is always controversial. It is better to base it on defense rather on offense as to deter running up the score against nominal opponents. Point differentials has no place in tie breakers. Who cares if you score 10touchdowns against the last place team..
